Essay / Computerized Education of the Future - 1784
If we look at the history of education over the last thousand years, not much has changed in the way of learning and teaching. But when we consider how a personal computer (PC) could transform our society, our business and our way of life in general, since the first of its kind was invented in 1975, we can imagine the impact that a PC may have on our education system in the future. future (Peers 37). In such a short time, just 34 years, personal computers have changed our daily lives so much that many, if not all, of us can no longer imagine living without them. In schools too, computers have already replaced regular notebooks, pencils, textbooks and sometimes even entire classrooms, making it easier for students to attend classes without even leaving their homes. In this article, I will prove that in the near future, computers will replace many instructors in our regular classrooms and training schools. In today's world, many schools have already started using computers and thus replacing teachers in many ways. Many educational institutions offer online courses and even entire degree programs, so students don't have to come to class and meet with their professors. Most online courses are based on programmed software and therefore do not require teacher engagement in creating lectures or boring grading. Almost all educational software such as NovaNet Learning and Plato Learning are programmed lessons capable of giving feedback to a student, providing clues, automatically grading assignments and tests, and helping to improve understanding of the student by highlighting errors and helping to resolve them. just like a teacher would do in a regular classroom. Indeed, these programs are used in many American experiences for students around the world. Works Cited Evans, Alan, Martin, Kendall and Poatsy, Mary Anne. Technology in action. ed. 6.
