Role of Technology for Formal Education in Bangladesh

Abstract

We are using technology for e-learning platforms, blended platforms, and formal education platforms. Formal education is a structured and systematic form of learning. For formal education, we can say face-to-face or on-campus education. Formal education is classroom based, meaning everything a student learns comes from books and other educational materials with the sole purpose of educating students. Internet gives us the option to meet around the world. Internet distance education is a natural consequence of industrial transformations from a manufacturing economy, in which standard educational practices are based, to an information economy, in which greater autonomy, collaboration, flexibility, and a project orientation to work are the norm. The internet did not cause changes in education, but rather enabled educators to meet new demands for instructional practices and outcomes and adapt to a rapidly changing economic and social environment that was beginning to outpace the academy.
