The integration of educational technology in diploma courses has significantly reshaped teaching and learning paradigms, fostering enhanced student engagement, interactive learning experiences, and improved academic outcomes. This study evaluates the effect of educational technology integration from the perspective of teachers in diploma programs. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews, the research investigates teachers’ perceptions of the benefits and challenges associated with technology use in the classroom. Key findings indicate that while technology integration promotes active learning and collaboration, it also presents challenges such as technical issues and the need for continuous professional development. The study underscores the importance of providing adequate support and training for teachers to effectively leverage educational technology. Ultimately, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on educational innovation, offering insights into how technology can be harnessed to enhance educational quality in diploma courses.
