Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study examines the adoption of e-libraries and e-textbooks in Myanmar’s higher education system, comparing it with Singapore and Malaysia. It identifies key barriers in Myanmar, including inadequate infrastructure, high costs, cultural resistance, and limited policy support. Data from 310 participants, including students and educators, were analyzed within a framework of these factors. In contrast, Singapore and Malaysia have successfully implemented policies, infrastructure development, and digital literacy training, leading to higher adoption rates. The study offers recommendations for Myanmar, emphasizing strategic investments, policy creation, and capacity-building to improve digital learning and access to quality education.
