Industries are changing at a rapid pace, making it crucial for professionals to continuously learn and adapt for social cohesion, economic prosperity, or even their own fulfillment. Fortunately, the widespread adoption of technology makes it easier for people to learn various skills through online educational programs.

Thanks to technology, lifelong learners can take advantage of certain features that are not available in traditional classroom setups. To illustrate, here’s what you need to know about the role of technology in the lifelong learning process:

Fosters autonomy in the learning process

Now that technology has made it possible to have autonomy in classes, people can experience more freedom in their learning processes.

Technology is replacing conservative teaching models and reshaping the learning experience of students and professionals by allowing people to direct themselves as they study a certain skill. Rather than waiting for instruction all the time, learners can now set their own pace through the relaxed setup of online classes and materials. These online classes also have flexible schedules, which makes it easier for professionals to watch video lessons, read the materials, and take their exams whenever they want.

Allows people to personalize their learning experience

Classes are no longer a one-size-fits-all experience now that it’s possible to personalize online courses through technology.

It’s no secret that people learn information and skills in different ways. The good news is that smart learning environments make it easier for people to be educated on certain topics based on their personal learning styles. Smart devices and apps can make adaptive adjustments through specific programs to help with efficient learning for people with visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and other learning styles. By adjusting to these learning styles, learners can thus absorb information better and improve their skills at a faster rate.

Increases the accessibility of upskilling opportunities

The traditional classroom setup is not accessible to a significant portion of the population.

Fortunately, technology has broken barriers and allows people from remote communities and people with disabilities to learn skills through special devices and online courses. In fact, many educational institutions have adopted technology-based tools, like digital courses and virtual reality training, to make it possible for more people to achieve professional development in today’s digital landscape. Through these advanced technologies, people from marginalized communities can learn in-demand skills like digital marketing for example and get a chance to join businesses that are on the lookout for web marketing experts.

Facilitates collaboration and communication between learners

Now that remote and hybrid work setups are here to stay, people must also learn how to communicate and collaborate through technologies.

Even though they’re studying different topics, lifelong learners can still pick up soft skills through digital learning tools. In fact, digital technologies like learning management systems, virtual classrooms, and even augmented reality provide new methods for people to communicate and collaborate with fellow lifelong learners. Through their access to these digital technologies, lifelong learners can refine their skills in digital communication and apply these competencies to their hybrid or remote work setup.

Technology breaks several barriers in education and makes learning more accessible not just for students, but for people in the professional world as well. With technology making lifelong earlier easier and more convenient, one can thus expect that there will be more competent professionals in more industries and fields.

In fact, creating an engaging learning experience enhances students’ engagement with knowledge, enhances positive interactions between teacher and students, and empowers students towards a successful academic and career path. Therefore, academics, educators, specialized companies and government agencies are working on the search for the most efficient solutions.
The importance of the facilitating role of technology in the access to information and the construction of knowledge is unavoidable. Every year the great trends for the most diverse areas of action are pointed out. In addition, in Education, experts point out the possible major trends with the potential to captivate students and engage them in the learning experience through relevant content.
For the next few years researchers are unanimous about a trend – gamification. Educational gamification promises to improve students’ attention because it aims to improve the assimilation of the most various contents and therefore is identified as one of the most powerful tools in the area of Education.
Gamification is based on the use of game logic applied in content transmission. Teachers have long been looking for playful method.

The great news is that it is possible to take advantage of the digital technology that students have access to as a means to build knowledge. Digital gamification activates parts of the brain directly connected to logical and deductive reasoning, improving motor coordination and spatiotemporal perception of students. In addition, evidence has been obtained that the gamification in education promotes better cognition and a greater integration of distinctive rules and narratives, optimizing the capacity for abstraction.
Another aspect is the evolution of the student’s role, from being a mere spectator of knowledge and becoming part of the construction of his knowledge. Moreover, these are key elements for the development of skills and abilities.
In short, the facilitator role of ICT in the construction of knowledge and its transversal character to the multiple areas of Life are indisputable. Now is the time to continue investing in the integration of technology in Education, combining it with methodologies and practices capable of making the construction of students’ knowledge and school success profitable.

These nationwide lockdowns have impacted hundreds of millions of students. Plus, several other nations have implemented localized closures, impacting millions of additional learners.

As the virus is resurging in France, Britain, Spain and South Korea, medical authorities request for caution. School districts, teachers, and parents are dealing with the risks of diverse learning scenarios. Details can be sparse and confusing and constantly changing. Sometimes it seems life will never get back to normal.

But one thing is certain: after summer holidays some type of school will start. Whether at home, at school, in person, on screen, or a mix of all these models, this is the challenge. Going back to school while dealing with the coronavirus†need for restraint.

For this school year our purpose seems to be clear. As a united community, we aim to ensure all children and teenagers return to schools to continue their learning journey and achieve their life goals. Due to Covid-19 pandemic we should combine efforts, knowledge and experiences to promote a healthy and safe return of the entire educational community to the school premises.

Children are seeing their parents going back to work and might think life is back to normal. They also might get bored of staying indoors. So, UNICEF Nigeria created an animation “Lara and Friends COVID-19 adventure” to disseminate information to children on how to stay safe and protect their loved ones.
