Opinion: How Technology Can Boost Learning

Technology is rapidly changing the educational environment and can be integral to achieving significant improvements in productivity in this sector.

At Tuition Desk we believe that technology presents lots of educational opportunities and possibilities for both students and teachers.

For example, many students find it difficult to learn in the classroom because they need extra help in a subject that is hard for them; thanks to technology – and in particular to online education – they could learn at their own pace, while tailoring courses to their specific needs.

Tuition Desk Believe Technology Can Boost Learning and Break Down Global Barriers

They can also get help at any time via email, online collaboration and tutoring online.

At the same time technology can really empower teachers and help their students learn. Teachers can use technology to find resources, attend online training and conferences. They can also assist their students with tutoring online expanding the potential support they can get.

We really believe that technology has the power to transform the way of teaching to establish global learning. The internet is now a global marketplace where a student based in one country can find tutors based in other countries around the globe, hence diminishing the global boundaries around access to education. There are no physical boundaries anymore and students don’t need a physical classroom to learn.

Moreover we all know that money is always an issue in education and technology can really help. In fact, online education can help reduce the costs associated with instructional materials or program delivery.

We don’t know yet if in the future online learning will replace the physical classroom totally but we do believe that the future of the education sector is online and that technology can positively impact learning outcomes.

Tuition Desk is a revolutionary online tutoring platform that aims to facilitate online tutoring between students and tutors by helping them find each other and providing them the online tools required to communicate and collaborate remotely.

Traditionally a student and a tutor had to be physically present in the same room during the tutoring sessions where they would be sitting across a desk in front of each other. Tuition Desk aims to revolutionize this concept by providing a fully-fledged and effective alternative.
