Case study: technology for enablement and accessibility

Aldenham School recognised that without modernising and introducing new technologies, they risked getting left behind, leading to students who aren’t prepared for today’s technology-driven world.

Charlie Cochrane, Head of Technology at Aldenham School, comments on the partnership, “I think it’s had a dramatic impact on the day-to-day lives and the learning, which is ultimately what we’re here for.”

Case study: creating equal access to education through digital transformation

To become more sustainable and support its students’ evolving learning requirements, the University of Stirling has transformed into a digital campus that offers international opportunities and widens equal access to education.

“Phoenix is very knowledgeable. Their in-house knowledge is very, very good. When we have asked questions that they are not able to cover, they’ve been very good at bringing in partners who have that expertise.”

James Blair, Director of Development and Operations, University of Stirling

FAQs

IT can support educational institutions by facilitating access to resources, fostering equity through personalised learning, and improving the quality of education through innovative teaching methods.

Educators should continually monitor trends in educational technology to adapt their teaching practices and leverage new tools effectively.

To use technologies effectively, educators need to align them with the learning goals, select them based on the context and the audience, provide training and support, and evaluate and reflect on their impact.

The adoption of IT in education presents challenges such as digital divide issues and data privacy concerns, but also offers opportunities for improved collaboration, flexibility in learning, and data-driven decision-making.
