Abstract

Contemporary developments in education highlight the tools and services of ICT and their role in attainment of education objectives and enhancement of learning experience and results of students. One of the key changes in education and classrooms in the post-pandemic world is how educational institutions handle personal devices. Personal devices were often kept out of classrooms and quickly confiscated before the pandemic, but post-pandemic students may be encouraged to bring their own devices into the classroom. After a year of hybrid learning, students have become habitual of doing their academic work and attend classes using whatever devices were available. This has led to the promotion of BYOD (Bring your own Device) to school and college. Previous concerns about BYOD in the classroom included these devices as a distraction for students rather than a productivity boost. A major concern, however, was security and how to keep the school system secure when deploying external devices. BYOD also highlights disadvantages for students from low-income families. The benefits of BYOD in education outweigh the drawbacks. Even if only a few students can be BYOD enabled, the education budget will need to be significantly reduced, allowing educational institutions to focus on providing technology to students who need it. Document sharing and collaboration is easier when students work on their personal devices. Additionally, the BYOD strategy allows students to access course information, assignments and tests, calendars, and extracurricular information from their personal devices, whether at home or in the classroom. This information is stored in the cloud and accessible from any device.
