From Pencils to iPads: Evolution in Instructional Technology

Abstract

In nutshell, there has been a gradual yet vital evolution in the field of instructional techniques being backed by a change in the technology, medium, concepts and the approach. The invention of computers and the internet has been the game changer. With the changed time has changed the most sought after skill too. Today, the most important learning has become how to learn quickly and on oneself. The most sought after skill has become disruption which involves rethinking processes, concepts & outcomes, challenging them and building a better model. The experience of working with people from different communities, cultures and countries has become the key to survive in MNCs, which is being developed at the school and college level itself by doing international tie-ups and by offering international secondments. The evolution of artificial intelligence and machine learning has paved way to new horizons. An immense change is knocking on the door and it is believed that such a change will redefine the field of education.
