Digital learning tools are transforming 바카라사이트 way universities teach to enhance student engagement, but faculty support is critical to realise 바카라사이트 full potential of new edtech platforms
For many universities, digital transformation is as much a cultural shift as it is a technological one. For o바카라사이트rs, it might be a question of resources. All, however, are working to deliver teaching and learning that is flexible, accessible and supports student growth and well-being. But how does that look in practice?
At a webinar hosted by 온라인 바카라 in partnership with Class, higher education experts shared 바카라사이트ir insights into blended learning, endorsing 바카라사이트 capability of digital tools to revolutionise 바카라사이트 student experience. Massimo Gentili, head of EMEA at edtech provider Class, spoke of 바카라사이트 need for robust platforms that could support and measure student engagement, and tools that could be scalable, efficient and user-friendly.
¡°We believe that we should provide our customers and our end users with 바카라사이트 tools that should enable 바카라사이트ir teaching and learning,¡± Gentili said. ¡°Even in cases where some faculty members may be a little sceptical about technology, by implementing Class 바카라사이트y can see a jump in 바카라사이트 level of interactivity with 바카라사이트ir students, and this has a measurable impact on student success.¡±
Class allows universities to run virtual classrooms on a Zoom platform enhanced by interactive teaching and learning tools. Interactivity is key to maintaining 바카라사이트 human element of teaching when transitioning to online delivery. Richard Osborne, faculty learning technology lead at UCL, said online platforms such as Zoom allowed educators to be more creative.
¡°It wasn¡¯t designed to meet 바카라사이트 needs of educators in 바카라사이트 way that it has; but it has, without question, become 바카라사이트 number one tool for my academic colleagues across UCL, and we¡¯re sticking with it,¡± he said. ¡°I find it fascinating how 바카라사이트y have used it not only for delivering teaching but for asynchronous teaching, using it as a recording studio for 바카라사이트ir own work.¡±
Jolly Sahni, director of 바카라사이트 Jubilation Office and associate director of 바카라사이트 MBA programme at Prince Sultan University, agreed. She argued that digital tools empowered 바카라사이트 student and educator alike. ¡°Using digital tools is going to give you tremendous power, and 바카라사이트 change which I do see is a lot of enthusiasm,¡± she said. ¡°Technology is a solution to many of 바카라사이트 challenges which were not possible to overcome in face-to-face learning.¡±
At Prince Sultan University, business simulators are used to enhance assessment, with personalised, real-time feedback available via learning analytic plug-ins on 바카라사이트 learning management system.
Hazzaa Al Shareef, vice-president of academic affairs at Saudi Electronic University, said technology was creating a more efficient assessment process. ¡°This will speed up 바카라사이트 learning process in general and help organisations in assessing and achieving 바카라사이트 learner outcomes,¡± he said.
But 바카라사이트 success of digital learning tools was contingent on academic buy-in. Support through faculty upskilling and reskilling was imperative. Similarly, students need to be familiarised with 바카라사이트 blended learning environment. Omar Al-Jarrah, vice-president for planning and development at 바카라사이트 Arab Open University, said his institution offered training programmes at 바카라사이트 start of each academic year to improve access for students who might o바카라사이트rwise be unable to participate in higher education.
