The Role of Optimizing Educational infrastructure for Better Learning

Educational institutions can optimize learning outcomes and cater to a broader range of students by improving their approach to infrastructural design, leading to better student and teacher participation and greater digital adoption.

FREMONT, CA: The number of students in classrooms, colleges, and universities today is often over 100. There is insufficient classroom space on most campuses.

In a classroom with many other students, there is a negative impact on learning. Many negative consequences are associated with large class sizes, but the most important is a lack of individual attention for students, especially those struggling. When students fail to receive personalized attention, their grades decline, and they lose motivation to continue, ultimately resulting in their dropping out of the class and perhaps their whole education.

It is also detrimental to teachers to have overcrowded classrooms. As teachers know they cannot reach students at their optimal level, many aim for an average impact, hoping most students will succeed with what they can communicate.

Educational institutions can optimize student learning by improving their infrastructure.

Instant teacher feedback: Often, teachers cannot distinguish between students who are struggling academically and those who are making progress. Due to improved school infrastructure, teachers and students have a streamlined feedback channel that allows students to give teachers feedback easily. Teachers can now comment via audio and video files on students' academic performance. It is also possible for them to participate in discussions on academic questions in real-time, as well as answer polls or respond to polls. Teachers can address academic problems before a student's grades deteriorate, thus improving the learning process.

The cost of upgrading schools' technological infrastructure is high. The benefits to schools and their students are numerous when they do so. Students have a higher success rate because it streamlines and enhances learning outcomes.

Multiple learning styles: Schools can accommodate multiple learning styles due to improved infrastructure. Students who learn visually or auditorily differ from students who learn tactilely, relying on active learning techniques that use touch. Technology has enabled teachers to provide students with various digital learning materials tailored to different learning styles. Additionally, classrooms can now support interactive activities such as simulations and hands-on experiments that better engage tactile learners.
