We all have learned from ITunesU, Byju’s, KhanAcademy, CrashCourse. There was a generation that grew up with internet’s new-found magic and started exploring online services leaving the library tomes behind. Next came with the inclusion of audiovisual dimensions in teaching in order to uphold student interests and also to supplement the teaching methods.

It wasn’t long before mobile phones entered lives and accessed information and services from the world-class, it was only a tap away; the modern way of doing things at schools and universities.

So then again, it happens. Putting technology to be used for a full education makeover is explored like never before; seeking a reason in each of the modern-day solutions to form a robust EdTech industry and its driving apps. Digitized learning is the new standard learning experience.

The Edtech Ecosystem

The education industry is easily one of the fastest-growing sectors in the world, driving both learning and teaching vigorously with next-gen technologies. Mobile platforms make it possible for students to embrace all-new ways of learning, particularly with smartphones and wearables turning into their second skin. The very smart mobile apps have a certain kind of digital transformation in the offing.

The Edtech Experiences

Learning experiences as well as teaching experiences are subjected to a metamorphosis driven by the realistic use of emerging tech built through applications.

Interactive and Immersive Experiences – Indulging and Engaging

• Virtual Reality
• Augmented Reality – supplementing the basics
• Blending in Gamification – adding the fun quotient in learning and teaching

Intuitive Experiences for Learning and Teaching

• Analytics and Business Intelligence – real-time insights for better performances
• Cognitive learning and Artificial Intelligence – supplementing acumen

Collaboration and Distribution in Disruptive Ways

Conclusion

Coming up with technology ensures that as students enter the business world they are incomplete steps with the demands of the workforce. Students are shifting away from age-old tests and learning methods with an emphasis on skills rather than marks.

Technology makes a smarter education system with different kinds of students under construction and every other day there is a new Smartphone app that adds to the EdTech ecosystem.
