Digital Tools & Climate Change Education

Investigated the transformative potential of digital technologies to enrich climate change education (CCE) and foster climate literacy. Using a constructivist framework and multimodal discourse analysis, this research evaluated visual, auditory, and interactive elements across extensive digital platforms. The core findings proved that gamification bridges the gap between complex climate data and student comprehension, while simultaneously exposing critical industry gaps in gender representation and inclusive design.

Bachelor's Thesis (2021) | University of Dhaka

E-Learning Infrastructure & Crisis Resilience

A comprehensive structural and socio-economic analysis of e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh. This thesis required deploying mixed-methods online surveys to evaluate how students and educators adapted to unprecedented technological shifts. The research deeply analyzed the national 'Digital Divide', the severe psychological impacts of isolated learning, and the cost barriers of broadband penetration in rural sectors. It mapped out how infrastructural pillars stepped in to prevent the total collapse of the educational system, ultimately predicting the persistence of hybrid e-learning models as a permanent 'new normal'.
