ASSESSING THE FUTURE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN EDUCATION: THE PROSPECTS OF CLOUD COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
A profound revolution in numerous facets of life, notably education, has been triggered by information and communication technologies. The significance of online learning has increased especially in light of the advancement in emerging information and communication technology. Thus, the objective of this paper is to explore the experience of integrating and employing IT in the classroom, the digitization of education, the rapid growth of cloud computing technologies, and the increasing acceptance of this method of learning. This IT technology is designed to make it simpler to access services or databases via a secure virtual environment. It is also a productive way to store and retrieve data as needed. The enshrinement of information and communication technology (ICT) use in education correlates with the rise of digital literacy. The study employed synthesis and analysis as scientific methodologies. A number of cloud computing applications in the field of education were chosen for research. The synthesis approach determined the primary shortcomings and the conclusion points out that digital innovation has demonstrated its value in enhancing, altering, and accompanying education. It also has the ability to hasten the objective of sustainable development for education and change access to learning in general. This will support inclusivity, enhance the administration and management of education, and improve the quality and applicability of learning. Distance learning can be utilised to lessen closings and disruptions to schools during emergencies.
