The Impact of Wearable Technologies on Lifelong Learning

Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive review of the impact of wearable technologies on lifelong learning, utilizing a descriptive narrative analysis approach. In recent years, wearable technologies such as smartwatches, fitness bands, and augmented reality glasses have become integral tools in educational environments. The review explores the potential of these technologies to enhance learning experiences by offering real-time feedback, personalized learning paths, and improved access to educational resources. However, the study also identifies significant challenges, including privacy concerns, high costs, and the need for robust infrastructure. The findings indicate that while wearable technologies offer numerous benefits for lifelong learning, they require careful implementation to maximize their potential. The study concludes with recommendations for future research and practical suggestions for educators and policymakers to effectively integrate wearable technologies into educational practices.
