At the start of the epidemic, higher education institutions referred to remote learning as a "creative approach."
FREMONT, CA: The coronavirus pandemic is forcing several changes in the way people live and work. This crisis may catalyze a substantial transformation in the way children are educated. However, what does distance education mean for higher education? Is it conceivable for someone living in New York City to take an online program taught by Stanford University academics without ever setting foot on campus with today's technology?
The role of educational technology in distance learning
A pandemic has compelled the education sector to examine novel modes of learning. EdTech is a broad term that encompasses technology and software used in remote learning, distance learning, and online education and theories about successful teaching methods for obtaining new knowledge.
Computing technology advancements and the proliferation of mobile devices have become critical components of creativity in education. Computers are already a standard fixture in most classrooms, but teachers are constantly inventing new ways to integrate them into their teaching methods. Tablets are also becoming more popular; they provide a simple way for kids to stay current when there is no space at home or school.
Student achievement in remote learning is no longer a pipe dream; it is becoming more attainable and practical than ever with the correct tools. Students can now connect with and immerse themselves in interactive and immersive learning environments that foster curiosity and help them enhance their problem-solving abilities. Interactive digital content enables more flexible delivery options, customized evaluations, and more realistic experiences in today's classrooms.
The future of distance education in higher education appears to be bright. The education sector stands before an opportunity that has the potential to involve millions of young people. It is the potential to provide millions of young people worldwide with meaningful remote or hybrid learning possibilities. Innovation is propelling the development of fresh and innovative concepts for higher education. There are numerous ways to leverage innovation to improve student outcomes, such as by incorporating more modern technology such as mixed reality classrooms into traditional education delivery.
