Abstract

This dataset captures the experiences and self-reported competencies of university lecturers in Rwanda concerning their use of online learning platforms and digital assessment tools. Collected in May 2024, the data reflects responses from lecturers across various academic ranks and years of teaching experience. The survey explores their familiarity and usage of platforms such as Moodle, Google Classroom, and various video conferencing tools, along with their confidence in utilizing digital tools for teaching and assessment. The data is valuable for understanding the challenges and training needs of lecturers in transitioning to online education, offering insights for policymakers, educators, and institutions looking to improve digital learning environments.
