The Role of Technology in Modern Education in Greece: Opportunities, Challenges and Perspectives

Abstract

This technological evolution in Greece has opened new educational opportunities. It supports personalized learning pathways, fosters student engagement through multimedia content, and offers access to a wide range of digital learning resources. Platforms such as e-me and e-class were subsequently launched to support both synchronous and asynchronous learning. E-class, functioning as an online classroom environment, allows teachers to upload materials, manage assignments, and communicate with students and parents. E-me, a newer addition, serves as a collaborative learning environment, featuring digital portfolios, shared spaces, and multimedia tools. Technology also facilitates more inclusive education by accommodating students with special needs. Tools such as speech-to-text software, screen readers, and communication aids help create a more equitable learning environment. As Greece continues to align its educational reforms with European frameworks, strategic investments in digital infrastructure, teacher training, and inclusive technology design will be vital. Equally critical is the integration of ethical standards and data protection measures to build trust and ensure responsible use of emerging technologies.
