Here is a list of five emerging technological trends in the EdTech industry that can change the face of education.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be one of the leading and dominating technologies in the EdTech sector. AI can be used in filling the gaps in learning and teaching. It can be used for content creation, performance mapping, automatic grading, providing real-time feedback and to truly personalize education.
Learning apps like BYJU’S, the world’s most-valued Edtech, have already integrated AI into their programs. BYJU’S AI tracks every student’s learning pattern and recommends them to watch more videos, take up more quizzes, and to visit the lessons again in case a student has not mastered a concept. It also notifies a mentor in case a student’s performance is constantly poor in a subject/lesson.
Immersive Learning (AR/VR)
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) encourages learning through experience. It helps in creating a visually-immersive learning environment that in turn leads to better learning outcomes and knowledge retention.
For example, OSMO provides an immersive learning experience using digital worksheets. This immersive tech can scan everything your kids draw, code and spell, and make them come alive on the screen.
Internet of Things
Internet of Things (IoT) is simply a connection of physical devices. This tech can be used to share and keep track of performance evaluation and feedbacks between parents and teachers.
For example, BYJU’S Parent Connect App. It allows parents to stay up-to-date with their child’s progress and performance. The app also gives insight into the list of achievements, time spent learning on the BYJU’S app, test reports, learning strengths and weaknesses, and corrective measures.
Blockchain
Data security should be the number one priority in this age of digital education. Blockchain technology can facilitate a safe environment for students and teachers to communicate, share data, records, and other sensitive information securely.
Chatbots
Chatbots fueled by AI can be trained to understand human requirements behind queries complaints, and requests and respond accordingly. AI powered chatbots can make doubt resolution and real-time support available to students 24/7.
Disruptive technologies are already being integrated into the education industry. EdTech solutions fueled by innovations are making learning more fun, engaging and inclusive for learners across the globe. What do you think about these emerging technological trends?
