“…This discrepancy exacerbates educational inequalities, as urban centers often enjoy better connectivity than rural areas (Hale et al, 2010). In Africa, regional disparities in digital infrastructure and economic challenges contribute to varying levels of internet connectivity and technology access (Sumin et al, 2021). To address these challenges, governments and stakeholders in African countries must prioritize investments in digital infrastructure, including expanding broadband networks and ensuring widespread access to reliable connectivity (Sumin et al, 2021).…”

“…In Africa, regional disparities in digital infrastructure and economic challenges contribute to varying levels of internet connectivity and technology access (Sumin et al, 2021). To address these challenges, governments and stakeholders in African countries must prioritize investments in digital infrastructure, including expanding broadband networks and ensuring widespread access to reliable connectivity (Sumin et al, 2021). Similarly, in the United States, targeted efforts to expand broadband access in rural and low-income areas are crucial, with publicprivate partnerships playing a significant role in accelerating broadband expansion (Hale et al, 2010).…”

“…Enhancing digital literacy is key to maximizing the benefits of e-learning, and educational institutions and policymakers can implement digital literacy programs to empower students with the skills needed to navigate online platforms effectively (Sumin et al, 2021). Collaborative efforts between public entities, private enterprises, and non-profit organizations are instrumental in addressing infrastructure challenges globally, bringing together diverse resources, expertise, and funding to implement comprehensive solutions that improve internet connectivity and establish digital infrastructure (Sumin et al, 2021). Ongoing research and innovation are also essential, as they can inform policy decisions and help adapt e-learning platforms to the evolving needs of diverse student populations (Sumin et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2016).…”

This comparative review explores the landscape of e-learning platforms in higher education, drawing distinctions between the United States and Africa. As technology continues to transform education globally, understanding the nuanced approaches and challenges faced by these regions becomes paramount. In the United States, a leader in educational technology, e-learning platforms have become integral to higher education institutions. This study examines the diverse platforms utilized, ranging from learning management systems to specialized tools fostering interactive and collaborative learning experiences. The analysis also delves into the role of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and their impact on access to education.In contrast, the African continent exhibits a varied and evolving e-learning terrain, shaped by economic, infrastructural, and cultural factors. The study reviews how African higher education institutions are adapting to digital transformation, emphasizing the unique challenges faced in the implementation of e-learning platforms. Accessibility, connectivity issues, and the digital divide present formidable hurdles, yet innovative initiatives and partnerships are emerging to address these constraints.A comparative lens is applied to elucidate commonalities and disparities in e-learning adoption between the USA and Africa. Policy frameworks, funding mechanisms, and institutional support for e-learning initiatives are scrutinized, revealing how governmental and organizational strategies influence the trajectory of digital education. The study also considers the role of e-learning in addressing socio-economic disparities, particularly in Africa, where digital education has the potential to bridge gaps and enhance educational inclusivity.The implications of these comparative findings extend beyond the technological realm, touching upon pedagogical shifts, student engagement, and the future of higher education. As the world navigates the complexities of the digital age, this comparative review contributes to a broader understanding of how e-learning platforms are shaping higher education in the USA and Africa, offering insights for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders invested in advancing educational opportunities in an increasingly interconnected world.

“…Cognitive development is gradual, not organized into distinct stages. Thus, the lecturers' cognition must elaborate on the knowledge obtained, focusing on learning to make decisions using their reasoning [16]; [17]. Also, information processing in cognitive decisions makes decisions about the use of digital technology prepared by the institution and determines the amount of institutional support for the lecturer [18]; [13].…”

This research aims to investigate the reasoning of lecturers in using digital technology and its impact on cognitive approaches. Moreover, we find out the lecturer's use of digital technology in the learning process and determine the reasoning relationship between the use of digital technology and cognition. Problems occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, where many lecturers needed to be stronger in digital mastering technology and low in its use. Some lecturers think that WhatsApp is online learning, where online learning requires interaction and not just sending news or subjects. Furthermore, many students feel pressured to be taught by lecturers like this, so several classes are closed because there are no students. This study used a mixed-method approach with 109 respondents. Data collection uses a questionnaire distributed through Google Forms, and the qualitative data uses interviews with eight respondents. The results show that 50.5% of respondents can use digital technology, and 49.5% must learn, practice, and receive digital technology training. Furthermore, this research implies that lecturers with critical thinking can quickly master digital technology and simultaneously teach fellow lecturers to use digital technology

The current era of disruption is marked with the rapid flow of information on the internet, including religious content. The emergence of the internet clearly has a positive influence although there is also a negative impact. This article aims to determine the use of information and communication technology products in the context of religious literacy and religious digital literacy in urban communities in Indonesia. This research is a library research with a systematic literature review (SLR) approach. Sources of data in this study came from books and journal articles with a reputation in accordance with the theme or content of the discussion, totaling 58 references and published in the last 5 years. The analysis technique uses content analysis. The findings from the results of this study are that information and communication technology products have been widely used in many sectors of human life, including religion. Users who have gadgets or laptops (PCs) make it a tool for accessing religious content with the help of the internet. This is influenced by the dependence on the internet and a variety of religious content that is increasingly massively spread in cyberspace, especially for urban Muslim communities. Religious digital literacy can be used as a real solution to educate the public about access to digital information. This digital literacy can be used as a provision and foundation for someone to face the current digital era, so that they are not only able to access and find information. But more than that, it is hoped that information can also be validated by referring to the source of origin.
