Students and undergraduates are nowadays asking an educational process that, regardless of its level, will offer them access to new knowledge fields and also, with the opportunity to pursue a more meaningful future. Educational organizations, from K-12 to higher education, are called upon to support this new experience that their clients demand.
In this process, key challenges that need to be addressed include the students’ low engagement levels when it comes to their class and their questioning of the provided training value. Students and undergraduates expect more control, personalization, instant feedback on their essays or other performance issues, interactive educational content, and interdisciplinary opportunities. In addition, people of the “iGen / Gen Z” grew up considering Amazon and smartphones as something given, so they require accessibility through the devices they use and the ability to collaborate online.
Consider adding to the above the transformation of the student profile. Recent studies indicate that over 6 million people worldwide are studying through distance learning programs. Online or blended programs virtually eliminate any barriers that age or geography have so far put, opening new business opportunities to educational organizations. The latter can effectively reach out to more students, create new sources of revenue and solve the problem of limited infrastructure.
In Athens Technology Center (ATC), we believe that learning must be accessible everywhere and always, combined with the best experience possible. For that matter, we are proud to announce that we offer the innovative solutions of Blackboard to Greece and Cyprus, a leading international leader in the development of LMS platforms and training tools tailored to the needs of educational institutions of all levels, such as universities, colleges and schools, enabling them to offer an educational experience of an international level.
