Education and Workplace

Education Software

Since the turn of the century, software has been weaving its way into the fabric of the education sector and playing a pivotal role in empowering teachers with the tools for modern pedagogy. The vast array of software programmes now available has changed the way students receive, process and reference information making it more interesting and more accessible to more students.

The primary benefit of using education software in the classroom is that it offers students a wide variety of options for learning such as solving academic problems, connecting with classmates, and to have complete control of their learning experience.

Software has also enabled the education syllabus to expand into a more practical way of learning, opening opportunities in subjects such as graphic design, multimedia and animation. Children as young as reception age are fluent with tablets and handheld computers, this should be made the most of by providing them with the educational software that will help them to learn in their preferred style and develop this throughout their learning careers.

Productivity software

For students, the introduction of software helps to increase productivity through improved data-based management systems such as FileMaker and allows for flexibility in editing PDF documents with WonderShare PDF Element and ABBYY FineReader. Word processing has also become more convenient with the use of Corel’s WordPerfect which includes extensive file compatibility.
