Easy Steps to Embrace Hybrid Learning with 101VOICE???s UCaaS

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, schools have been pushed into adopting more digital tools faster than before. In fact, the use of educational technology (EdTech) and digital devices in schools has increased by more than 90% since 2020 (Learn Platform)! We???ve seen a new chapter in EdTech, where a combination of remote and in-person learning became the norm to ensure that learning didn???t stop and remained interesting and engaging. 

The Use of Digital Tools in Education

Online tools like video calls for classes and online systems for homework and grades make the learning experience better and more accessible for students. The move to using more technology helped with new ways of learning and made classes more fun and exciting.

However, while going digital opened new ways to learn and work together, it has also led to a ???communication overload???. Stakeholders in the education space, from administrators to teachers to parents to students, are bombarded by too many daily messages, videos, and emails. 

Too many communication apps and platforms, also known as tool sprawl, only serve to overwhelm students, teachers, and parents. Ironically, having so many ways to communicate has a negative impact on organization, collaboration, and productivity. 

Our brains classify all these communications as ???noise???, and important messages slip through the cracks. In the end, communication overload interferes with the learning experience ??? precisely the opposite of the clarity communication is supposed to achieve.

Imagine having a single platform for all your communications. Wouldn???t that make communicating and sharing information much smoother for all the stakeholders?
