Автори: Mpho Moyahabo Motebele, Kathija Yassim, Chinaza Uleanya Абстракт: The challenges and constraints of paperless classrooms was explored in this study using the experiences of school leaders and teachers in the Ekurhuleni district. Qualitative method was adopted. Hence data was collected through semi-structured interviews from purposefully selected participants. Thematic analysis was used for analysing the collected data. The study findings showed that the practice of paperless classrooms which has various benefits brings with it a number of challenges, like a lack of technical support, problems associated with security, the slow and inconsistent roll out of the resources, and a lack of on-going teacher development through formal and on-the-job Continuous Professional Development (CPD). The study recommends the inclusion of digital resources as tools that facilitate the enhancement of teaching and learning rather than changing the face of traditional classrooms.
