Integrating digital technologies for learning, such as video tutorials (Screen capturing tools and software such as Camtasia, iSpring, and PowerPoint and similar tools and platforms), communications and assessment tools, web-based instruction, multimedia case studies, self-paced learning modules, and simulations, can enhance the range of learning opportunities offered to various educational programs in which both students and teachers will benefit from it. It has been identified that utilizing digital technologies for learning sustains the education of learners and teachers as well as broadens learning opportunities to new groups of students. The idea of incorporating educational technologies into the conventional education system and in innovating new ways of learning and teaching is essential to ensure that both students and teachers have the necessary tools to succeed in this multifaceted and fast changing technological society.
Educational technologies (such as iSpring and Camtasia Studio) are already integrated in adult education programs as well as in distance learning. Adult Education programs are definitely improved and offered to adults because they are held responsible for educating the next generation, which is vital for the progress of any country. For instance, an educated individual can improve himself and become a better person than he was before.
