The Learning Conference 2019

Education systems have faced a tremendous shift over the past few years. The way in which both educators and their students interact has changed. With the world’s growing demand for faster, smarter and more efficient solutions, it’s no surprise that technology has become an integrated part of teaching and learning. While the push for online learning was predominantly due to the pandemic, schools, educators and ministries were already in the process of rolling out policies aimed to promote the use of innovative technologies in the classroom. While the use of Education Technology and interactive tools may have been the next step for higher learning, it is vital to address the complexities of this transformation. Ensuring that students can continue their studies, have access, and succeed within their respective classes remains the primary objective. Furthermore, guaranteeing that educators are also equipped with the knowledge and have access to the right tools to do so is essential. This will highlight and discuss valuable strategies, challenges and new opportunities technologies bring to primary and , secondary learning. EduTech East invites educators, ministry officials and key stakeholders to come together and share their experiences, best practices and insights to further the integration of digital solutions into our schools and curriculums. The growing demand for technology in the classroom will undoubtedly bring about unique challenges, but it also has the power to deliver a higher quality of learning for all.

Digital technology has transformed the learning experience. Millions of learners use a rich array of tools and multimedia resources and connect with others in ways that weren’t possible, certainly not at scale, just a few years ago. Education needs to prepare those students for a new world of work where robots and artificial intelligence (AI) can undertake repetitive, dangerous and boring tasks. It is ideal therefore that learning and reskilling, just like work, can be done from almost any location. The possibilities offered by education technology have never been more exciting but it’s important not to lose sight of the fact that we are using these tools to educate people. Humans don’t all come with the same set of factory defaults. Designing educational experiences to accommodate differences in physical characteristics, neurodiversity, culturally influenced perceptions and personal aspirations is not an easy task. We need to rise to this challenge and deliver effective learning experiences with the aid of tools that are pedagogically and ethically sound.
