Abstract |
The rise of open education and e-learning is reshaping global education systems, including Religious and Moral Education (RME) in Ghana. This study examines the prospects and challenges of integrating digital learning into RME using qualitative interpretive analysis of literature and context. Findings show that e-learning enhances accessibility, learner-centered instruction, collaboration, and inclusive participation across diverse learners in Ghana. However, challenges such as digital inequality, poor infrastructure, limited teacher training, and weak connectivity hinder effective implementation. The study further identifies risks, including misinformation, ethical concerns, and reduced interpersonal engagement in moral learning. It argues for culturally grounded frameworks emphasizing relationality, empathy, and shared humanity. Ultimately, the study concludes that successful integration requires ethical digital literacy, inclusive policy support, infrastructure development, and culturally responsive pedagogy. It contributes an African-centered perspective linking technology with moral education for sustainable educational transformation in Ghana. It emphasizes balancing innovation with moral responsibility in order to preserve the ethical essence of RME within digital environments. The paper also highlights the importance of teacher capacity building, equitable access to technology, and the integration of African values in digital pedagogy to ensure holistic learner development. By situating RME within a culturally responsive digital framework, the study offers practical and theoretical contributions to educational transformation in Ghana and similar contexts. Overall, it suggests that e-learning can strengthen moral education if guided by ethics, inclusion, and African philosophical values. Thus, sustainable adoption depends on infrastructure, pedagogy, and strong ethical governance in schools across the Ghanaian education system. |
