Do not you think that technology has made education much more matured? Actually, it really has. Technology has made education matured in its approach. Previously, education was restricted to the very strict code of regulations, in terms of age, eligibility and schedule.

One had no choice but to submit to the hard rules of conventional education. But, developments in the field of technology have wiped out all such boundaries. Technology proves to be such advantage that anybody, at any point of age, and according to any convenient schedule can continue his course of education.

Instead of blackboards and textbooks we have now SMART boards, tablets, laptops and Cell phones as educational instruments. This technology-based education has the ability to connect individuals around the world. We have seen many innovations within past 15-20 years, which changed the way of learning altogether. There have been developments of countless hardware, latest software and with them newest pedagogical methods. The place of classroom learning is fast taken over by technological learning, especially online. Number of internet tools is being proactively incorporated in education. With online learning technology makes connected individual students of every nook and corner of the globe.

Now you may ask where the specific benefit is! Actually, higher education is no longer restricted to the hard and fast parameters of brick and mortar institutions. Rather, education is accessible to anyone and at anytime by enrolling in an online degree course. The main advantage with online learning is that one can study according to his own convenience and pace. With the merits of educational technology one can access his online study materials and go on with his study anytime, anywhere in the world.

Educational Technology Increases the Scope of Employability

Now, how can one be benefited in his job with this? In respect of employability a student now is expected to be extremely tech savvy. To sustain in this technology-based world of employment one must be good in his technological knowledge. Online education empowers you technologically one step ahead of others. This is because, here one executes every little task of learning online, and so he becomes completely easy with various applications of computer and internet.

Global Network

Again, so far one’s professional deftness is concerned sharpening his improvement of skills depends a lot on project-based practical works. In most cases projects are assigned as a teamwork or group project. In any brick and mortar institution like a college or university the volume of such group is limited, whereas with online learning one can connect with the worldwide students, which means the possibility of mutual enrichment becomes higher. Addition to this is the profit of so big a worldwide network one builds, unconsciously, whilst participating in group discussions and in such joint projects. The strength of a good network and that too in global level is unnecessary to mention either in job search or in entrepreneurial initiatives. It really means a lot.

Best for Working Professionals

For those who have already stepped into job, education online is perhaps the only way to strengthen skills, because no other than online learning lets them enjoy a life where they can study and work together, without disturbing one another. For this reason many employers choose online programmes, so that the employees can enhance their knowledge parallel to maintaining their productivity.

EdTech Help Reach Education to Under-Developed Nation

Technology and Education not only enhances qualification and career prospect of people from developed countries but also under-developed nation. Students from under-developed countries like Nigeria, Caribbean, etc now avail the opportunities to increase their qualification and polish their skills while they work by taking the help of educational technology. There are many renowned online learning providers that offers distance learning programmes under accredited UK universities. Students of these nations are therefore privileged to enroll in such distance learning courses and make them at par with students of developed countries.

Cost-friendly

Online learning is also a cost-effective mode of education that one can pursue. In today’s world where job-oriented education needs multiple areas of knowledge, traditional university education with its unaffordable cost poses a real obstacle. With cost-friendly online learning, one can take as many additional course one feels necessary. This is one of the prime reasons why enrolment rate in brick and mortar institutions is decreasing rapidly. 

Technology has in fact made education so updated that we can fit our lives around this way of learning. This flexibility is indeed very important in a world where everybody is busy with the complex affairs, the modern world have fixed us with. We cannot run from any of our responsibilities, but enjoy a learning that gives us necessary space.
