Technology

The one technology that I would like to discuss is with educational technology.

One of the changes that became a challenge has to do with a combination of formal and informal learning and teaching which is probably one of the most durable challenges, Some of the colleges are finding ways to get informal resources into their coursework. Some One University has already address the programs at individual colleges such as Cork institute of technology which recognized non-formal learning with students in prior work and life experiences

Trend
