Educators in Asia-Pacific are ready and willing to use mobile devices in the classrooms. A recent survey shows educators strongly believe that the proliferation of mobile devices is already having a positive impact on the way instruction is delivered to students.
The study conducted by Adobe, “Transforming Education with Mobile and Digital Technology,” polled more than 1,000 educators in 13 across the region.
Seventy-seven percent of educators from Asia-Pacific, and 80% from Greater China, felt that there was a positive overall net effect to having mobile devices strategically integrated into the teaching process.
Likewise, 83% of educators in the region and 90% in Greater China felt that the accessibility of digital tools and applications on mobile devices helps them better understand and improve concepts and information before including them in lesson plans for their students.
Moreover, 100% of educators in Southeast Asia, 90% in Greater China and 89% in South Korea said there is a strong need for institutions to provide the necessary facilities for students.
“The ability to visualize or integrate interactive learning experiences in the classroom via a mobile device can make a huge difference in learning outcomes when engaging with today’s Millennial generation,” commented Wayne Weisse, Business Manager, Education, Adobe Asia-Pacific.
