Unlike general academic directories, this selection is curated using filters for geography (developing countries) and research focus (online learning/EdTech). Entries were vetted for relevance to applied or empirical studies on technology-enabled learning rather than being a broad author index.
This list is most suitable for NGOs, research collaborators, grantmakers, and policymakers seeking partners studying online learning in developing countries. It also benefits EdTech founders and evaluators looking for local research expertise and evidence on digital education interventions.
Key filters include researcher affiliation in developing countries, publication or project focus on online learning or education technology, and recent activity in digital education research. We prioritized profiles with clear research titles, relevant publications, or projects in EdTech.
Yes — entries emphasize researchers operating within low- and middle-income countries rather than global or high-income contexts; where possible we tag country or regional focus. This helps users target outreach to specific markets and understand local evidence on online learning.
