To what extent do you think Digital Transformation improves education?

[ayeshshiddika11]

I think there are two dimensions to consider. On the one hand, there are the new capabilities that the use of digital tools for learning brings, making it richer, more interactive and above all more personalized. And above all, the ability that the digital revolution offers us to access information and educational resources. To everyone, at all times and in all places. That everyone has access to education is not an improvement, it is a dream come true!



What technologies do you think are and will be transforming educational reality and its future?
I would almost say that all new technologies, without exception, have found application in the field of education. Videos and interactive devices, online courses, chats and learning bangladesh phone data groups, collaborative projects, virtual reality, the Internet of Things, Big Data, artificial intelligence. Even blockchain is already available to support certification and evaluation issues. With this present, still almost untapped, the future is difficult to imagine…



I think it is essential to work on the value of change, the “what do we gain” and the “what is the purpose” of each change you introduce.



How have e-learning platforms evolved ?
Well, from a first “version” where they were almost pure repositories of content to an experience where the level of interaction with teachers, resources and classmates is such that you forget you are not in a classroom. I think the challenge (for teachers and students) is to improve that digital empathy that allows us to listen and communicate from a distance with all the power of face-to-face communication.



What is the importance of “digital literacy” in the 21st century?
Being functional, digitally speaking, is essential. Anyone who is unable to use digital media to search for and manage information and to communicate is already out of the game. However, we should understand that knowing how to use digital tools does not necessarily build a “digital mindset.” And that is why we must also work on developing new capabilities , such as continuous learning, managing uncertainty and error, and developing our collaboration networks.
