COVID is long gone BUT the change it has brought to the education industry, that is going to stay for good! Pandemic has made the world realize how much potential technology has to revolutionize education industry. Technology in educational institutions is no more a “nice-to-have” but a “must-have”. Recent studies conducted, reflect an exigency of technology in education.
We have so many examples of businesses who failed because they couldn’t adapt to change in this ever-evolving world. To keep up with the latest technology, we need to change our traditional mindset. As David Gardner (Founder of ‘The Motley Fool’) says:
“Once a new technology rolls over you,
if you are not part of steamroller,
you’re are part of read.”
Here are some of the many EdTech trends you NEED to know about.
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality:
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality has the potential to change the future of Education and other Industries. VR is completely virtual while AR uses real-world setting. VR and AR provide amazing opportunities to learners. Instead of just learning the concept, they can experience it in 3D visuals and produce better results.
Gamification:
Gamification has been widely used in the education sector. It means using game elements in a non-game environment. Gamification is an incredible method to engage students and help them assimilate hard topics. Students tend to learn more when they are having fun.
Artificial Intelligence:
AI, in simple words, means a digital machine/robot that has the ability to perform a task that normally requires human intelligence. Artificial Intelligence has not gone to its predicted popularity (yet) but researchers see massive potential in AI to change the Education sector tremendously.
E-learning:
This pandemic resulted in global shutdown and that has forced educational institutes to switch to E-learning. E-Learning is when the teachers and students interact with each other in real time. They can be anywhere in the world and interact through group discussions and chats. It’s an efficient way of learning as the studying material is available online and can be accessed from anywhere and at any time.
Although technology is not going to replace teachers’ presence entirely but it can help minimize teachers’ workload and help students to learn in a better and more efficient manner.
“If we teach today as we taught yesterday,
we rob our children of tomorrow.”
John Dewey
