The rise of digital education has made online education convenient and accessible for students across the globe. According to AbroadEd, digital education is completely transforming learning through its effectiveness, global accessibility and inclusiveness.
Online digital education began to gain more popularity because of the COVID-19 pandemic. UNESCO stated that 1.37 billion students felt the impact of school closures that occurred as a result of the pandemic, and 60.2 million educators found themselves outside traditional classrooms.
AbroadEd could confirm that digital education has emerged as a resilient response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Important Ways to Transform Learning with Digital Education
1. Enhanced teacher training
Online teaching requires that teachers be well-equipped with all the necessary digital skills that weren’t compulsory for educators in the past. AbroadEd emphasizes that educational institutions need to invest more in their teachers for effective online instruction. This enhanced training should include both technical aspects and strategies for engaging students in the virtual classroom.
2. Narrowing the digital divide
AbroadEd opines that the digital divide can be bridged through the provision of affordable devices, improved Internet connectivity, and 24/7 technical support for students. For students to enjoy a better online learning experience, governments, educational institutions and organizations must collaborate.
3. Flexibility and customization
Digital education has been transforming learning through its unique ability to customize learning experiences. Introducing the hybrid models of learning can help students learn better.
4. Fostering a sense of community
Digital Education can also add community-friendly features to their online classes to encourage a deeper level of interaction among students.
