What are educational technology..? and its Contribution to the advancement of educational system.

                 

                All praise is due to Allah, may peace, salutation and the blessing be upon the prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), his entire family, his companions and those that follow their footsteps with righteous until the last day. Indeed Allah (S.W.T) has blessed the human beings with an amazing talent advancing the technological system throughout the world which drastically contributed in the all occupational career or professions in the area of technology. Moreover in our educational system technology has contributed immensely to the development of our educational system of conducting, delivering lectures and making things easy for the teachers to do their work and be satisfied with their students in participations and active learning system more importantly understand the lecture in ease. First of all define what is Technology..? Technology is derived from a Greek word “techno” which means knowledge, wiliness and skills of the way tool, rule, and “logos” which means science, learning, word and mental state. Moreover, Educational Technology is define as the systematic and organized process of applying the modern technology to improve the quality of our Educational (i.e. optimal or efficiency etc.)  Which the systematic way is of conceptualized the evaluation and execution of our educational process that is teaching and learning to aid the modern educational teaching with an application techniques; including the organization of work and the instructional materials. (Stosic, 2015)

                    Furthermore educational technology has been supportive in improving the educational system through technological advancement which indeed helps the teachers to teach their students easily via using this technological technique in their teaching. 

      The linear learning system modern technique.

      The virtual Classroom learning system modern technique.

      The computer, tablets and mobile device learning system modern technique.

      The Collaborative learning system modern technique.

      The Media learning System modern technique.

      The Social networks learning system modern technique. Etc.

                 Firstly the learning system modern technique, is a computer based training (CBT) which means the self-pace learning goings-on delivery system on a computer or handheld convenient such  as smartphone or tablet; which is among the effective learning system that help our teachers in delivering the lectures. Moreover CBT has recently delivered content by CD (ROM) Read Only Memory and characteristically presented its content linearly i.e. like manual or reading an online in view of that, CBT is used to teach static process system via using of the software or implementation of mathematical equations. Furthermore, the CBT concept is similar to web based training, the main different is CBT delivery system are through using a web browser.

                The assessing learning, in computer based training helps the teacher in making it convenient for them in their delivery system and students assessments. which is easily facilitated by CBT learning system via their technique given multiple choice questions which can be easily scored recorded  by the use of an online software provide immediate end-user comment. Moreover their user completion grade, as they also give them the ability to print their completion grade in the form of certificate in computer system, drag and drop, virtual reality or extra   interactive means.

                  Secondly, the virtual Classroom learning system modern technique known as virtual learning environment (VLE) also known as learning platform. Virtual classroom make it possible via mixing various communication technologies in meeting aims. For instance, web conference software such as WebEx Training, Adobe Connect enables students, GOTOTraining and teachers to communicate through each other by means of microphone, Webcam and real time conversation in a group setting. Members can raise hands, answer polls or take quizzes; students has the inability to used whiteboard and screencast when given rights via the teacher, who set authorization level for the mouse control microphone, and text notes. Moreover virtual classroom provide the opportunity for the students to have direct instruction from an eligible tutor in an interactive environment.

                The students can get immediate and direct access to their teacher for immediate direction and feedback, VLE also provide a structured timetable schedule of days, weeks  and months  their time of  classes. Furthermore, every class is recorded and stored on a server where its permit the instance playback of any class course the institution year; which is very relevant for student to review the course material and the concept for upcoming exams and permitted to watch the class you missed. As a result this really aid the students who find the lack of restrictions of asynchronous education to be overwhelming and it also facility social learning environment that replicates the traditional “brick and mortar” classroom. (THE IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY IN , 2015)

              Thirdly the computer, tablets and mobile device learning system modern technique. This gives the ability to both the students and teachers to access the websites of the particular institution besides programs such as power point (ppt), PDF files, Microsoft Word, and images. However numerous Mobile Devices promote m-learning system. Moreover smartphones and Mobile devices as clickers, have the ability to be used for interactive feedback; and can provide performance assistance for examining the time, retrieving worksheets, tuition manuals and setting reminders. Likewise Open Course Ware (OCW) provides the public free access to info used in both graduate and undergraduate programs. Furthermore Participation institute are Harvard, university of Michigan, MIT, university of Pennsylvania, Stanford. (Cox, 2018)

             Fourthly the Collaborative learning system modern technique is known as Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) are used for instructional technique designed to hearten or require learners to work together on learning piece of work to be. Moreover CSCL is also comparable in regards to concept terminologist of E-learning and Network Collaborative learning (NCL); therefore collaborative learning is different from that of the traditional approach to tuition which is the principle source of instructor knowledge and skills. For instance the neologism E-learning this is define as the direct transfer technique used in computer based learning and training system (CBL). An obvious difference between the linear deliveries of content, frequently from teacher direct material CSCL uses cloud based document portal and blogs wikis [for instance Dropbox and Good Docs etc.]

               Furthermore the Media learning System modern technique, the also contribute immensely to the educational system. The educational media and tool system improve the recent educational system which is used task structuring assistance, helping us how to make the task to be done via using the [processes and procedures]. Moreover to access the knowledge bases aid the beneficiary fined an information desirable to both educators and learners; the knowledge of multi representation such as audio, data, video, image and text.

              In conclusion, educational technology has contributed immensely to the development, advancement and improvement of our educational system. Moreover via used of modern technique to ease the formation of our teaching methodologies, application practicing and method of delivery system, used of modern facilities to ease our teaching format, representation via used blogs, web sites, computer system, Microsoft facilities, Dropbox, Good Docs ,Virtual classroom, Open Course Ware  and computer based learning and training system (CBL).
