CONGRESS 2023 - Using digital technology to revolutionise how we learn

Digital technology has opened new doors to knowledge and made education more accessible, helping to break down barriers that once limited learning opportunities. Education 2.0; Education 3.0 and most recently Education 4.0 have shown how technology can accelerate teaching, learning and assessment in fundamental ways; education has become a networkable commodity that is no longer reliant on the didactic model of student and teacher. Myriad e-learning platforms, virtual classrooms and online resources now provide easier access than ever before to quality educational materials, helping to level the playing field for academic growth. Despite the tremendous benefits, we must also address challenges and unintended consequences to ensure equal access and responsible use of digital technology in education. Bridging the digital divide requires concerted efforts to provide technology and internet access to all learners. Additionally, promoting digital literacy skills among educators and students is vital to enable them to navigate the digital landscape confidently and responsibly. This talk will explore how the digital revolution is reshaping education, making it more inclusive, engaging, and dynamic. Tools, strategies and best-practice approaches will be considered to ensure we can create a brighter future for education and training within the Biomedical Science sector, whilst also suggesting ways to address the most common challenges and pitfalls, so that students and trainees can unleash their full potential.
