Digital Transformation of Synchronous and Asynchronous Knowledge Transfer and Learning with EdTech

Abstract

Technology formally entered academia around 1450s AD when the printing press started being used for making books available to learners. Long after about seven centuries, gradual adoption of information, communication, and digital technologies brought overwhelming changes for speedier, more effective, and impactful teaching, learning, training, and evaluation. These rendered both synchronous and asynchronous modes much smarter and more exciting particularly for generations Y and Z. The advent and evolution of Web1 to Web3 has made globally accessible distance learning an indispensable part of contemporary education management development systems. Efforts have been made to narrate certain major dimensions and the collective effects of all these technologies culminating in EdTech. It has also deleneated the taxonomies behind and the impacts of AI and Generative AI on EdTech.
