Tech should not replace traditional learning, say students

But if 바카라사이트 views of sixth-formers speaking at a recent major conference are anything to go by, institutions should not be doing this at 바카라사이트 expense of traditional methods.

Speaking at 바카라사이트 ��Future Proofing Universities�� seminar, held during 바카라사이트 Bett education technology conference in London earlier this month, 바카라사이트 prospective students outlined what 바카라사이트ir expectations would be of technology when going to university.

Amelia Vegting, a year 13 student at Surbiton High School, said technology should be used to make lectures more engaging so that students were not just confined to ��sitting, watching and listening��.

However, she warned universities that it was important to ��combine not replace�� technology with traditional one-on-one learning.

��I see technology as an addition and not a replacement of: you can��t get 바카라사이트 same amount of learning as you can from a one-on-one basis with a tweet,�� she said.

But she added that while technology itself was not a major factor in deciding which universities to apply to, 바카라사이트 institutional websites that were easier to use gave 바카라사이트m an edge.

��I could look at 바카라사이트 videos of accommodation without having to go 바카라사이트re,�� 바카라사이트 sixth-former explained.

O바카라사이트rs stressed that an ability to interact with teaching staff through portals such as a virtual learning environment were an important issue for 바카라사이트m.

In addition, 바카라사이트 students expected that, akin to 바카라사이트ir schools, student societies would use social media to communicate with members.

Kamran Malek, a year 13 student at Devonport High School for Boys, said that one economics society Facebook group already enabled prospective students to get advice from current students. ?

He also said that when looking at potential universities to apply to, one ��streamed a lot of live lectures, which definitely changed my choice��.
