As the COVID-19 Pandemic ravages the world, it is essential to examine the effectiveness of instructional and technological tools for distance education that were developed during the pandemic crisis. This paper provides techniques for effective remote instruction and examples of educational tools used during the pandemic at the United States Coast Guard Academy. The authors posit that distance education should be designed to promote study and investigation within authentic, realistic, relevant, and information-rich contexts; with a focus on instruments that consider students’ individual needs and learning styles. Remote learning should encourage student responsibility, initiative, decision making, and intentional learning and cultivate an atmosphere of cooperative learning among students and teachers. This is best accomplished by utilizing dynamic, generative learning activities that promote analysis, experimentation, synthesis, problem solving, and assesses student progress in learning through realistic tasks and performances. The paper presents how effective distance education can be delivered by focusing on learning resources, pedagogy, learner support and management.

The study examined the utilization of information communications technology (ICT) in the management of primary education in Enugu State, Nigeria. Three research questions and three null hypotheses guided the study. The research questions were answered using mean and grand mean scores, while the hypotheses were tested using t-test statistic at .05 level of significance and 286 degree of freedom. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study using a 20-item researcher developed instrument called; utilization of ICT in management questionnaire (UICTMQ). The population for the study comprised of all 1195 head teachers of all 1195 primary schools in Enugu State. The sample size was 318 respondents comprising 50% of the 263 male head teachers and 20% of the 932 female head teachers. Following data analysis, findings reveal that ICT is utilized to a little extent in record keeping in primary schools in Enugu State. Also ICT is utilized to a little extent in teaching and learning as well as ensuring security in primary schools in Enugu state. Recommendations including; making ICT a compulsory component of primary school curriculum and providing functional ICT equipment in all the primary schools in Enugu State amongst others were put forward.
