Description
Digital learning platforms are increasingly integrated into secondary education across Africa. In Ghana, the Ministry of Education (MoE) introduced the Curriculum Microsite as a digital repository to support the new Senior High School (SHS) curriculum. Despite its broad deployment, empirical evidence on how students engage with the platform and whether such engagement translates into improved academic performance remains limited. Grounded in Task-Technology Fit (TTF) theory, this work-in-progress presents a quantitative, cross-sectional survey study examining the behavioral patterns and modes of use of digital learning platforms among SHS students in Ghana and their association with academic performance. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on educational technology in emerging economies by providing context-specific evidence that can inform policy and platform design decisions.
