Information teachnology (IT) v/s Instructional technology (EdTech)

---

@Yousuf-Memon Aslam o Alaikum sir,

You asked a good topic of discussion and truly both IT & EdTech are best sources for enhancement of every educational aspect to our future. Although my brother @FarhanMehboob described both very clearly but I am trying to make it more clear.

IT (Information Technology) is a broad field that covers all aspects of managing and processing information across various industries. Whereas EdTech (Educational Technology) is a specialized area within IT, focusing specifically on applying technology to enhance education, such as through e-learning platforms, digital tools, and online resources. While IT serves multiple sectors, EdTech is dedicated solely to improving teaching and learning experiences.

I am highly obliged to Allah SWT who bonds (me & @FarhanMehboob) us through blood relations, and I am someone who maintains these connections with love, respect, and loyalty. I habitually put effort and sincerity into my relationships, standing by others even in difficult times. So, dear brother @FarhanMehboob think about what you mean to me?

Good objectifs

@Yousuf-Memon Thanks for sharing.This was informative.

Hi YOUSUF
Information Technology (IT) broadly focuses on managing and utilizing technology, such as hardware, software, and networks, across various industries to process information and improve operations. In contrast, Instructional Technology (EdTech) is a specialized branch of IT that specifically aims to enhance teaching and learning through educational tools like Learning Management Systems, online courses, and digital content. While IT impacts business processes and data management across sectors, EdTech is dedicated to making education more accessible, personalized, and engaging. Both fields require technical expertise but apply it in different contexts with distinct outcomes.
