Mike Solly from the UK’s Open University described how migrant workers from Bangladesh spend long periods, usually in the Middle East but also South Korea and elsewhere, working to send remittances to their family.

Digital learning: this much I know

Here is the interview divided into digestible bites. 1. Do digital tools mean you have to change your teaching approach? 2. The benefits of peer assessment. 3.…
