Predictive Analysis on Future Impact of Ubiquitous Education Technology in Higher Education and Research

Abstract

Purpose: Ubiquitous education technology refers to the group of technologies used for the integration of various aspects of higher education and research aiming to create an environment that supports seamless learning, collaboration, and innovation. This approach uses a range of digital tools, platforms, and resources, to enhance teaching and learning, and facilitate research activities to empower students and researchers. Ubiquitous education technology makes online education superior in terms of accessibility, collaboration and communication, personalization and adaptability, and effective research support through providing digital libraries, online databases, and research management tools to enable efficient literature reviews, data analysis, collaboration among researchers, and dissemination of research findings. The benefits of ubiquitous education technology include Enhanced Learning Outcomes, Flexibility and Convenience, Global Collaboration and Networking, and improved Research Efficiency and Innovation. Various challenges like the digital divide, Technical Support and Training, and Data Security and Privacy issues are yet to be addressed. Methodology: The paper uses the exploratory research method in which the relevant information are collected from various sources are analysed, compared, evaluated, and interpreted for the creation of new knowledge. Predictive analysis framework is used for studying the future impact of various education technologies on ubiquitous higher education and Research guiding. Results: In this paper, the various possibilities of the transformation of higher education and research into ubiquitous by embracing digital tools and resources are discussed. It also includes how institutions can create dynamic learning environments that facilitate research collaborations and prepare students for the demands of the digital age. Originality/Value: Based on evaluating the abilities & features of emerging ubiquitous educational technologies, the transformation of the future higher education industry is predicted and forecasted. Type of Paper: Exploratory Research Paper.
