Can Technology Solve Crisis of
Higher Education?
The demand for higher education is continuing to escalate as
many countries are trying to achieve universal secondary school. Mortar and
brick educational institutions may not be able to absorb the demand that is
surging properly. There are so many alternative options that are needed.
Technology is one of the options since it will play a crucial role in expanding
higher education institutions. The paper below seeks to find whether technology
can solve higher education crisis.
The answer is yes. There are many ways in which education can solve the
problems of higher education. Involvement of technology in education will
improve bridged divides and improve access to education (Peters 289). The Heads
of the government need to use distance technologies in learning to improve
access to quality training and education (Huda 279). Through the use of
technology, the learning and teaching of higher education will change the lives
of many Peters. There will be access to education to everyone at any time.
However, in choosing the technology to apply, it has to depend on its
availability, its appropriate, and whether it is affordable (Peters 300).
However, technology s not the only panacea for all higher education challenges.
However, it must be put in the political, cultural, and social context that is
very appropriate. The use of technology can be applied in institutions with
students with disabilities to improve their experience (Boškić 290). There need
to be technological tools to offer opportunities for disabled students to use
computers.
In conclusion, many institutions of higher education globally
have started to use technology to improve access and their quality of
education. The integration of technology in these institutions will help in
clarifying the doubts that are currently in the education sector.
