Abstract
Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the
impact of digital learning tools on student performance
in Kenya.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk
methodology. A desk study research design is
commonly known as secondary data collection. This
is basically collecting data from existing resources
preferably because of its low cost advantage as
compared to a field research. Our current study looked
into already published studies and reports as the data
was easily accessed through online journals and
libraries.
Findings: Digital learning tools in Kenya enhance
student engagement by offering interactive and
accessible educational content. These tools enable
personalized learning, allowing students to progress at
their own pace. However, challenges like inconsistent
internet access and limited digital literacy among
teachers can hinder effectiveness. Despite these
obstacles, the adoption of digital technologies has
positively impacted student performance in Kenya.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and
Policy: Technology acceptance model (TAM),
constructivist learning theory & media richness theory
may be used to anchor future studies on the impact of
digital learning tools on student performance in
Kenya. Educational tools should be specifically
tailored to align with Kenya’s national curriculum.
Develop national policies that promote the equitable
distribution of digital learning tools across different
regions, including rural areas.
