Technology is changing school study habits. The times of hitting the books and systematically
repeating content are from when the digital era was yet emerging. Part of the reason for this
change of habits corresponds to learning platforms. Are they revolutionising teaching? Can a
learning platform constitute a turning point in study habits and learning processes? Perhaps.
What is clear is that the traditional meaning words like “study” and “homework” have changed.

5 positive consequences of the

learning platform on study habits
#1. Motivation
Learning platforms improve the enthusiasm of students facing day to day learning.
Due to their diversity of resources, interactive tools, activities and possibilities for
incorporating content in SCORM format, they provide learning with a dynamic and
versatile character. In this way, contexts and exercises are recreated, which allow the
content defined by the tutor or teacher to be put into practice in a pleasant, and
intuitive way. Ultimately, they enrich training and help to generate habits without the
sensation of monotony.
#2. Socialisation
A learning platform must offer students and teachers different tools oriented
towards collaborative learning: forums, text chats, voice, video, virtual classrooms…
Essentially working from an LMS that facilitates the exchange of documents and
content in multiple formats (PDF, AVI, JPEG, BMP, PNG, PPT, Word, etc.). It does not
only involve finding orientation and support at occasional times, but encouraging
participation, completing training with other points of view, empathising and
strengthening personal relationships through synergy, generating the sensation of
belonging to a group – Socialising. Additionally the student increases their level
of commitment, and finds suitable contexts for strengthening their skills and attitudes
for learning.
#3. Technological skills
Technological development is constant in our daily lives. Acquiring technological
skills from the digital environments that a learning platform offers is practically essential
for knowing how to adapt to changes in the existing models and the professional
activity of the future of our society. Among these skills, learning platforms begin with the
mastery of ICT (information and communication technology) to use them to learn how to
access the content that complements learning, to select the most relevant elements,
analyse them, and draw conclusions. In fact, technological skills help to develop critical
thinking, problem solving, creativity and collaboration. Additionally, they
foster interest and curiosity in knowledge and innovation, while improving the capacity
for initiative, adaptability and integration.
#4. Management of information and time
The learning platform must provide multiple additional tools for planning training such
as schedules, timetables, notifications, communications and news.
Consequently, students learn to coordinate their activities, to be more selective, and
to establish priorities, optimising their time and dedication. This helps them obtain
the maximum performance from their efforts.
#5. Sense of responsibility
Moving on, learning platforms have multiple variables for checking the success of
learning. In this sense, a learning platform must provide the student with self-
evaluation tools, (tests, interactive material, contextualised situations, etc.). Through
the self-evaluation, the student becomes aware of their progress, their level of
learning and their areas for improvement. Furthermore, the professor may detect
these areas to strengthen, develop exercises and specific content and improve the
level of learning. Therefore, self-evaluation is an exercise in responsibility, a precise
and effective way of understanding the level of learning. Additionally, an
advanced learning platform provides various resources oriented to control and
monitoring. These tools allow the level of commitment of the student to be
maintained, while reducing the amount of pressure on them, as the processes for
measuring the effectiveness of learning are not limited to occasional controls upon
which the whole qualification is based.
In conclusion…
Learning platforms have a decisive influence on transforming traditional “study”
into healthier and more effective learning habits. In this sense, CAE (Computer
Aided E-learning) has over 35 years of experience in e-learning training. Over this
time, leadership in the sector has been maintained, with notably innovative work
being recognised, oriented towards incorporating technology and resources into
its digital platforms, requiring the highest quality learning in a modern society.

Definition of educational platform

A educational platform or academic platform It is a virtual program whose function is to
create virtual spaces to share information. It is intended for teachers and students. It is
widely used in universities and schools, both face-to-face and online. An educational
platform allows you to organize content, view it over and over again and answer
questions instantly, without limits on physical space or schedules. It is ideal to create
spaces for discussion between students and teachers, research groups and even virtual
communities that have the same common interest.
The teacher can teach in different ways. This makes teaching much more didactic and
entertaining. You have the option to make video calls or upload recorded videos, share
links, upload the PowerPoint of your subject, include forums, use linkbuilding , wikis,
receive student work, develop online exams, answer chats, take evaluations or report
important dates. All in a telematic way and without borders of time and space.

What Is Face-to-Face Learning?

Face-to-face learning refers to the traditional, classroom-based method of learning.
This style of learning involves in-person sessions that is instructor-led. The pace of
learning is set by the instructor and students in this setting are passive learners. Face-
to-face learning is considered effective due to the benefits of live interaction between
the instructor and the group of learners and/or students.

Learners are held accountable for their own progress by attending specific classes or
training meetings, interacting with their fellow students, and by interacting in real-
time with their instructor.

Benefits of face-to-face learning

Face-to-face learning provides in-person benefits that online learning lack. These
benefits include:

 Social aspect. Learning with your peers, in the same room, fosters a sense of
learning that is physical, unlike online learning. The entire group is learning
together, at the same time, at the same place.
 Individual learning. In-person, face-to-face learning allows instructors to
develop 1-1 learning plans and relationships with learners that can’t be
replicated online.
 Discussion and collaboration. Being a part of an in-person group provides
nuances that online forums can’t replicate.

The DepEd Commons, Learning Resources Portal, and the DLMS are some of the platforms
where learners and teachers can access DepEd contents like the self-learning modules, DepEd
TV, and DepEd Radio episodes.

The Department also partnered with Microsoft and Google to

continuously provide software to its stakeholders. The DepEd
Commons, Learning Resources Portal, and the DLMS are some of the
platforms where learners and teachers can access DepEd contents
like the self-learning modules, DepEd TV, and DepEd Radio episodes.

“I hope that this virtual discussion enlightened our fellow teachers and
fellow education leaders in learning how else we can provide better
educational experiences for the youngsters of the Philippines who
need to become able 21st-century citizens,” Undersecretary for
Curriculum and Instruction Diosdado San Antonio remarked.
