Answer preview
The use of technology has been lauded as having the potential for improving education in several ways, such as fostering easier access to information, collecting data on learning performance, and innovation in the presentation of information. Technology can have a significant impact on the transformation of learning. It can help create and develop relationships between learners and instructors, reinvent established approaches to learning, and adapt learning experiences to meet the needs of individual learners (Brown et al., 2020). The desire to infuse education with the latest technology is not a recent interest. B. F. Skinner, in 1968 identified the need for what he called a “technology of teaching,” which would make use of the latest scientific discoveries. He called for the use of technology in improving the interactions between teachers and learners to increase the chances of the learner. He proposed a wide-ranging set of “technologies of instruction” premised on behavioral principles, such as the arrangement of material from simple to complex, individual pacing, and reinforcement of correct behavior (Castañeda & Selwyn, 2018)
