Abstract

Digital technology is revolutionizing education. It has the power to alter the way we approach and deliver education, increase student engagement, and improve the efficiency of both teaching and learning. It can be a more flexible learning option for students with busy schedules or who live in remote areas and help to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed. In addition, EdTech in education can also provide students with the flexibility to learn in a way that suits their individual needs. One of the most important advantages of using EdTech to enable teachers to create online courses where students can learn in their own space and at their own pace is that it can help to close the achievement gap. Finally, using EdTech to create online courses can also help to improve student engagement. COVID-19 rapidly accelerated the implementation and acceptance of online education worldwide. This online course revolution is changing the education landscape and providing new opportunities for learners and educators now and in the future.
