Abstract

The paper’s key objective is to assess the impact of the quality of digital teaching resources on learners’ intellectual, emotional, and spiritual development in Mauritian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Grounded in sustainable quality education, the research employs a quantitative research method, by administrating a structured online questionnaire to ensure validity and reliability. The survey was distributed to 100 randomly selected learners from Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes. The findings revealed out of the 38 responses, 20 and 33 respondents acknowledged significant positive correlational patterns between the applied digital teaching resources and their intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual development. The authors conclude that to ensure a sustainable quality education in the Mauritian HEIs, there is a pressing need to align quality assurance frameworks, sustainability, and the digitalised learning-teaching resources. It is therefore recommended that a holistic usage of teaching resources is effected by conducting mapping and continuous course review for better alignment.
