Access
Education has changed dramatically in the last two decades, largely due to technology. It’s now easier than ever to access information and resources, and it has helped revolutionize learning for students and teachers alike.
The traditional education model, where students are passive receptacles of information, has been replaced by one that involves active exploration and learning. Teachers now help students explore topics, connect with peers, and develop skills they’ll use in life.
Participation
As technology continues to evolve, it is increasingly important to consider how this tool can be used to accelerate student learning. This may be done by scaling up access to quality content, facilitating differentiated instruction, increasing opportunities for practice, or increasing learner engagement.
When used well, technology can be a transformative force in education. However, it can also feel alien or be a distraction for students and educators.
Personalised Learning
Personalised learning is a student-driven approach that supports educators in creating customised paths, paces and environments to meet students’ unique needs, interests and strengths. This instructional model fosters the 21st century skills of critical thinking, creativity and collaboration.
Providing students with learning opportunities that are tailored to their needs and abilities fosters motivation and engagement. In addition, personalised learning offers key opportunities for autonomy and choice, empowering learners to take control of their own education.
Collaboration
Technology is changing education in a variety of ways. One is by making it more accessible for students and teachers alike.
Teachers and students have access to a wide range of educational resources, including books, audio-video materials, online quizzes and educational games. These tools can help students learn more effectively.
