For many years, educational materials have mostly been static text with pictures printed on paper and in books. These kinds of materials have failed to provide appropriate learning environment for learners who are technologically savvy and who expect interactive engaging learning experiences. In recent years, there has been rapid expansion in digital content development and access in schools. There have been many initiatives geared towards development and provision of digital content to schools in Kenya. However, little has been done to ensure that learners and teachers actually utilize the digital content in the instructional process. This study will therefore investigate how learners and teachers access aiid utilize digital content and its impact on syllabus coverage, learners' assessment as well as the testscores in Biology. In addition, the process of digital content development will be studied and the content available in secondary schools analyzed in terms of their multimedia components and user interfaces. Consequently, the study will come up with a model that can guide development of appropriate digital content for secondary school Biology.enThesis
