The Impacts of Digitalisation on Education!

What impact does digitalization have on schools and do they adapt to societal changes and why? What are the benefits of having phones? Does it create learning opportunities? Does it also distract you from your studies by spending time on games and social media?

The emergence and advancements of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have changed the way teaching and learning processes are being conducted because it facilitate immediate access to information needed resources . Research on mobile learning acknowledges that mobile phones and other digital technologies, such as tablets, hold great potential as tools for learning inside and outside school and more than one-third of the world’s adult population, most living in the developing world has no access to printed knowledge, new skills, and technologies that could improve the quality of their lives, thus, mobile phone learning provides a potential way forward for the expansion of education programs to larger segments of a population.

Of the many different forms of ICTs, mobile phones are thought for several reasons, to be a particularly suitable tool for advancing education in developing regions. Mobile phone tools are cheap compared to other ICTs which can be used for teaching and learning, it allow the transfer of data, voice communication, which can be particularly useful for delivering educational content over long distances. 

Harvestech Career Academy wishes to embark on this paradigm shift and encourage people of all ages to account for their time and resources spent in a rewarding manner. Think of those many hours you spend on facebook or whatsapp or youtube reading tones and tones of information. I know it has benefited you in many ways perhaps could not be measurable.

We at Harvestech wishes to encourage people to invest their time and resources online attaining certificates, diplomas and degrees. These tones of resources and information could then become an asset marketable worldwide. The time will come when one person could have more than five degree papers and more than 10 diplomas. Thus boosting the countries human resources gap. Before we develop other resources, let us develop ourselves first! Thank you
