According to AbroadEd, the education landscape is evolving at the speed of light and the idea of classrooms is being transformed into pixels and screens.
As digital learning continues to transform learning, AbroadEd highlights the five important strategies to navigate the evolving educational landscape:
1. Bridging the digital divide
Governments, educational institutions and organizations need to collaborate to bridge the digital divide. AbroadEd emphasizes that stakeholders can incorporate initiatives such as the provision of affordable devices, improved Internet connectivity, enhanced training and technical support.
Also, scholarships and other financial aid need to play a vital role in helping less privileged students access digital education.
2. Introducing innovative teaching approaches
AbroadEd suggests that exploring different teaching methods is a great way to navigate the fast-changing educational landscape. With the several opportunities offered by online learning, educational institutions can include interactive content, gamification, multimedia resources and virtual labs in students’ learning experience.
3. Improved teacher training
Educational institutions need to invest in their teachers for them to deliver effective online instruction. This training should include technical aspects and soft skills development for engaging students in the virtual classroom.
4. Flexibility and customization
Educators can navigate the evolving education learning experience through flexibility and customization. Introducing the hybrid models of learning, that is, in-person and online learning, can help students learn better.
5. Continuous assessment and feedback
With regular assessment and feedback, students and educators using digital learning platforms can get valuable insights about their performance. For students, regular assessment and feedback will help track their performance and progress. For the teachers, feedback will help them know how to improve their subject delivery.
