Technological innovations are having a significant impact on education systems at all levels. Online courses, educational software, social networking tools, and other emerging technologies are disrupting the traditional classroom environment. Understanding the effects that technological innovations have on students, teachers is critical to developing strategies and techniques to manage and use technology in education. So here are some of the technological advancements that has taken place in recent times in European countries and need to be adopted in India.
3D Printing
3D Printing are already causing waves in the education sector and students are loving them. Things that were previously taught via text books can now be explained and understand through 3D models. Through this printing technique, students can have a better understanding of things that were thought to be complex. In higher educational institutions, 3D printing is used by engineers to develop prototypes to be used in the development of final systems. 3D printing takes concepts and makes them real.
Social Media in Educational Institutions
Educational institutions have not been left behind in capitalizing on the impact of social media. In fact, most of these social networking sites were developed on campuses and the first users were college students. Universities and colleges can connect with each other through social networking sites even if they are several continents apart. Through these sites, they are able to organize contests, meetings, and parties. Students from different schools use social media to exchange ideas which can change lives.
Virtual Reality (VR) in Education
Virtual Reality technology is already the hottest thing in the tech world. Big companies are gearing up for a brutal war over this technology including Google, Sony, Oculus (backed by Facebook), Samsung, and more. One of the areas of application of VR technology is education. With VR, students can learn via interacting with a 3D world. Google has been on the forefront of introducing experiential learning in schools through VR technology.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Artificial intelligence is being applied in all levels of technology, from the lowest to the most advanced levels. AI is used in schools to automate key activities such as grading of subjects and providing feedback on areas that need improvement. It is also used to enhance personalized learning among students, especially those with special needs.
