“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” – Malcolm X
The world is now digital and relies heavily on using the right technology at the right time. Educators are finding new ways of teaching and delivering learning content and students are adapting to learning outside of a traditional classroom environment. And it’s here that the right technology plays a vital role in ensuring that education solves tomorrow’s problems, today.
As our schools open up, more students find themselves back in the classroom. At universities, they’re offering a combination of on-campus and online lectures. But the lessons of the past two years have been learnt and educational institutions need to be able to pivot easily between in-person and online quickly and seamlessly.
Time to reinvent the classroom
The learning landscape and classroom has changed. A classroom is no longer just a physical space but an environment where learning happens. Flexible technology puts the focus on educators and their students, allowing them to access their learning content easily and seamlessly. Scalable video, audio and content-sharing solutions deliver a hybrid learning model for in-person and remote attendees. Educators can also record or livestream their lessons and incorporate them with interactive content. Now teachers can teach and learners can learn anytime. Anywhere.
