One impactful way digital trends in education are reformulating the way students learn is through adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Mobile technology, including smartphones, tablets, and other connected devices provide many benefits, including improving learning outcomes.
Cloud-connected devices can help professors tap into which students need more personal attention and make the teaching process more productive.
Connectivity allows students to make schedules and conduct research on-the-fly, which can improve task completion times, and textbooks in a digital format reduce cost and storage implications.
Hundreds of digital education tools have been created with the purpose of giving autonomy to the student, improving the administration of academic processes, encouraging collaboration, and facilitating communication between teachers and learners.
