Tertiary education institutions are crucial in fostering sustainability through inclusive learning technologies. This study explores the use of innovative learning technologies in Bangladeshi universities to promote Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and examines the practices of 21st-century skills necessary for accountable citizenship. Employing a mixed-methods approach involving surveys and focus group discussions, data was gathered from 10 universities (5 public and 5 private), including 100 students and 10 teachers. The findings highlight the diverse range of innovative learning technologies used for ESD and their impact on fostering 21st-century skills among students and educators. However, differences were observed in the use of technologies between public and private universities. While private university teachers and students have greater access to innovative learning technologies, most of these technologies were invented by graduates of public universities. Additionally, technologies were found to be primarily used for submitting assignments rather than enhancing motivation among teachers and students. The study identifies the availability of uninterrupted internet connectivity as a major concern, with student groups expressing a desire for more exposure to current science and technology through learning technologies, which they believe would simplify the assessment system, as explained by the teachers. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating innovative technologies in tertiary education to cultivate a more sustainable and responsible society.
