Technology in Learning & Education
We are surrounded by Technology and now its difficult to imagine life without it since going back to traditional life is almost impossible now. Technology is getting involved in many new filed and also wherever it already exists then its making things smart. Starting from morning and until night we use a lot of technology in various forms.
These days online learning is getting more attention and its one of the areas where we can see lots of action in development. Covid can be one of the reasons as well since many schools and colleges are not running physical classes and focusing more on the online method to make it better and interesting for students.
Now education and learning are easy, interesting and convenient too since we can attend classes from anywhere in the world and its just need a device with an internet connection. It was difficult to imagine this 20 years back because at that time we did not have this kind of atmosphere and even the internet was not that much easily available. Now we have high-speed data available across the countries. With the 4g technology, we are able to access high-speed data even if we don't have broadband availability and this is one of the good things for sure.
On average, less than 20 percent of learners complete a course with certification, and less than 10 percent watch all the recorded video content. In India, the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL), funded by the Ministry of Education, is relatively successful in attracting more than 20 lakh students every semester to its online courses.
Now online courses are prepared and with each passing year, we can see a good number of students applying for such courses. Earlier there was the option to attend the course offline or online but things have gone to the next level. There are many courses that are available only online and there is no option to attend the class offline. In India itself every year more than 2 million new students are joining online courses and its am an impressive milestone.
Learning 24 x 7 is a new culture and its all because of advanced technology so no matter where you are and what time it is but you always have the option to learn what you want. Live classes will certainly have a fixed time slot but going through the recorded session is always available and can be accessed anytime. The online learning method is also used by kids in primary classes as covid has made things difficult for schools. Its been more than one year and now schools have developed their infrastructure to provide seamless learning with online classes.
Overall I believe that technology is playing an effective role in education and making it better day by day. There is a lot to come and I hope that in the next few years we are going to have a robust education system backed by technology and it might also open doors for blockchain implementation.
Thank you so much.
Already the online education was gaining ground and after covid everything will accelerate and it becomes a necessity to educate from home, today have already developed software and apps to adapt to those who require it, excellent work, thanks for your contribution.
Greetings friend. Technology has always sought ways to access education, but I think that the education systems of many countries were reluctant to incorporate new trends, until covid forced them to do so, now we see how institutions explore various platforms and technological means to continue fulfilling the goal of providing education.
I was saying this same thing with my friend recently, it is hard to do anything in this life currently now without technology not playing it role. I am loving it I must admit.
Solid read. People never thought online education in the past but now you can see it is very easy. Even small kid is getting education online. Obviously technology playing major role in education.
Greetings friend @alokkumar121, day by day technology plays a more important role in the life of each person, as well as in the whole world, even more so with the pandemic of COVID-19 where many jobs became remote, as well as a very important role that goes concerning its role in education, which is of great importance so that classes could continue to be taught with a distance method, that is why technology well used is of great importance for the whole world, thanks for your article.
Hello @alokkumar121, This new modality has been a success in countries that have invested what is necessary to provide technology and internet for both students and teachers, in fact, I think that many countries were already prepared for online education, but if I tell you about this experience in Venezuela I dare to say that it has been a great failure, because in my country we do not have a stable internet, in many homes there is no computer or smartphone so that children can watch classes, in fact, here many children and young people They have stopped studying to go to work and earn a living for their homes.
Actually I would like to see my country with a success story sometime.
See you.
