Applications Multiplatform in the Education Sector : A Literature Review
Abstract
This paper aims to discuss the role of multiplatform applications in the field of education. A literature review method was employed, analyzing several relevant journals published between 2015 and 2019. The objective of this study is to describe multiplatform applications as effective learning media within educational environments. With the rapid growth of digital technologies, multiplatform applications have emerged as a popular and essential tool in facilitating online learning, providing students with access to educational content across various devices and platforms. These applications also support the concept of heutagogy, or self-determined learning, which focuses on developing students’ ability to manage their own learning processes and preparing them to become lifelong learners. The findings from the literature review show that the use of multiplatform applications can make the learning process easier, more engaging, effective, and efficient. They enable greater flexibility, allowing students to learn anytime and anywhere, thus enhancing their learning experiences. Furthermore, multiplatform applications can stimulate student motivation and foster more interactive and dynamic educational activities. As education continues to evolve alongside technological advancements, the integration of multiplatform applications offers significant opportunities to improve the quality of learning, support personalized learning approaches, and meet the diverse needs of students. In conclusion, multiplatform applications have the potential to become a vital component of modern education, promoting more independent, innovative, and sustainable learning.
