Academic ProfileRevolutionizing Education: The Future of Technology-Enhanced Learning
In an era where technological advancements are rapidly transforming every sector, education stands at the forefront of this revolution. This keynote speech explores the transformative potential of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in shaping the future of education. As educators and researchers, it is imperative to understand how these technologies can be harnessed to create a more dynamic, personalized, and effective learning environment. This keynote will examine the following key areas:
(a) Personalized Learning
(b) Experiential Learning
(c) Efficient Administration
(d) Ethical Considerations
Additionally, the talk will explore future innovations, such as AI in virtual reality learning, emphasizing the continuous improvement and seamless integration of these technologies to create a cohesive educational experience. By highlighting these advancements, this keynote aims to inspire and equip participants with the knowledge and tools to leverage VR, AR, and AI in their educational research and practice, paving the way for a future where technology-enhanced education is the norm rather than the exception.
