Technological advances to the learning methodologies have changed drastically and are increasingly becoming more popular in the education sector with the increasing usage of the internet and the advent of smart devices to the classroom routine.

Educational Institutions have no other choice but to adapt to this online learning as a new reality to embrace technology.Knowledge sharing with students has become more comprehensive matching to the pedagogical practices of the institution and capable of reaching multi-fold dimensions for progressive learning outcomes.

The development of educational technological solutions, in the recent past, have proved to provide extremely efficient and effective school-management systems & teaching-learning processes for both students and teachers, anytime and anywhere, at their ease.

Educational technology can assist learning methodology in the following ways:

a) Facilitates autonomy in learning:

Rise of Technology provides students with autonomy in learning rather than replacing professionals (which is a wrong notion). Educational institutions still need educators capable of making learning the best ways to use new technologies.

b) Gives direction of orientation:

Advances in education technology assists an organized manner of learning in the form of compiling information (content), knowledge-sharing, performance measurement, advanced analytics – all matching and enriching the pedagogies of the learning process.

c) Provides efficient management:

Efficient Management improves services and optimizes financial resources for fostering quality education. Advances in education technology increase the speed of decisions, more assertively.

d) Brings best software:

Up-to-date software and applications bring a full range of information which seek to improve the quality of learning from time-to-time.

e) Creates Co-Created & Collaborative Networks:

The digital diffusion of information and communication, hence learning, enables the development of collaborative economy and creates value jointly in free interconnected networks.

Collaborative initiatives include: Co-creation, open innovation and participation, architecture for the development of educational technologies.

f) Makes learning a habit with stimulating reading with interest:

Lack of interest in reading amongst learners (students in particular), is always a recurring problem. An excellent way to motivate students is to make use of the smart devices and their associated innovative features with rich-media eBooks and the vast repository of digital resources.

Teachers can make use of technology and create engaging and interactive content for enriched learning experiences with the use of rich-media digital content formats.

Conclusion:

The Internet always poses a possible threat with loads of unverified incorrect information and poorly written content thus leading to misinformation and confusion. On the other hand, there are also interesting resources which are very helpful to enrich research topics for students and present an enriched point of view.

Since this requires constant evolution, in being qualitative and sensitive to particular information, to remain innovative both educators and learners need to be abreast of technological advances, which is a biggest challenge in itself.
