As we know, in the 21st century, information is everywhere. So how can teachers and facilitators use this to their advantages without their learners being oversaturated with content and opportunities.

This is what we will increasingly be dealing with in generations to come… One challenge associated with the creation of databases and information-accessing technology is that many of these resources and platforms were generated under a profit-motivation and therefore can be expensive or come with much limitation. such services/technologies like “Turnitin” offer expedient solutions to universities and online schools where they scan written work and decipher various data from it. A use case that has become popular is that can detect for copywrite infringement ie. It has become a It has been used primarily to identify plagiarism which in turn has students generating work that is focused on avoiding any sort of plagiarism – skewing the importance from what it should truly be about – quality writing and genuine learning.
Of course, we have come a long way through the pandemic to adapt our economic and intellectual interactions to an online format. This has brought many challenges and innovations alike. What is important moving forward is that we collectively hold moral values and standards that are independent of what is dictated under capitalistic intentions alone. What is key is that tools and databases are shared as much as possible with populations who need them for work and their own development. With this comes a social challenge. To move forward innovating and generating resources while bringing along people who aren’t in a position to leverage themselves into learning and productivity.
