How Cloud Technology could Enhance the Education Sector
In this digital era, technology has made a strong impact in every sector and education is no exception. Embracing technology in our day to day life has not just simplified things but has enhanced our efficiency as well. According to sources, the tech advancement in India has paved the way for several edtech startups burgeoning in the last five years. A cloud application is one such technology, which has the potential to significantly reduce the time, funds and infrastructure proving to be highly beneficial for the educational institutions. Citing these benefits, educational institutes have been adopting it widely. Here are some of the advantages that cloud offers the educators.
Eradicating the need for Pricy Software and Hardware
The cloud-based applications are compatible with most web browsers and mobile devices, thus, the institutions and students need not spend heaps of money in owning specified computers or gadgets to access the materials stored in the cloud. Additionally, this technology does not require any external storage devices as it offers free cloud-based storage services. In addition, the cloud provides scalable data centers, which would permit increased storage.
Improved Productivity
Inculcating cloud technology enhances the efficiency of both teachers and students. The access to cloud's digital resources enables the students to amplify their productivity by accessing the resources from their comfort zone. Cloud digital resources would allow the students to indulge in self-paced learning which would eventually increase their performance. Moreover, by using cloud's remote learning applications, the teaching staff of the institutes can teach from remote locations, thereby enabling distant learning programs.
Easy Communication
Enabling the teachers and students to collaborate and communicate through video and real-time messages, cloud technology breaks the communication barrier and even changes the way group projects are taken forward.
In addition to these benefits, cloud ensures tight security, thanks to its private networks that enable data safety. Cloud is cost-effective as its hardware cost and maintenance are cost-effective. In addition, this technology is easy to handle, and the traffic on the network could be supervised without a glitch. Thus, cloud technology would augment the educational experience for teachers as well as students and improve their productivity throughout.
