Education in the modern day is no longer confined to brick and mortar classrooms. That is, of course, a significant shift from how learning is executed since time immemorial. However, it has been a work in progress for some time now. Then the coronavirus pandemic came along and changed, well, pretty much everything we know about the education sector. The pandemic compelled even the most-ardently opposed to this technology-driven evolution in technology to embrace the change for the sake of continuity. However, it is not just about the adoption of digital learning — the shift is also about the increased adoption of other technologies shaping the future of education.

EdTech has emerged as such an intriguing prospect that experts opine it has now comfortably established itself as a fundamental part of the education sector. It will continue to be so long after the pandemic is over. Now, considering the impact it has already had and stands to have in the future, the smart thing to do would be to keep a close eye on the technologies and the trend. After all, the trends are a big giveaway of what’s to come. In the context of technology, we foresee AI, IoT, blockchain, and countless other such advanced tools playing a role in shaping the future of education. Now, let’s take a look at how they will do that.

1. Online learning: As discussed above, the COVID-19 pandemic delivered an unparalleled push to digital learning adoption across the world. And over the past year, there has been widespread consensus that e-learning is effective and efficient and helps saves time. And as we continue to rely on it for now, its mainstream adoption is now certain.

2. Video-driven learning: Now that education is being administered online, it has become much easier for teachers to use videos to deliver knowledge and lesson content in a substantially better and enriching manner. And this holds true for all segments of learners, i.e. school goers, college goers, etc.

3. Gamification: Another technology that has become increasingly popular in this sector is gamification, making learning significantly more fun and engaging than ever before. This has improved the effectiveness of the process while also enhancing student engagement levels on the classroom.

4. Blockchain technology: Blockchain hasn’t found use in just the finance industry — it stands to offer incredible value in knowledge impartment too, like when issuing degrees, diplomas, and other educational credentials. This way, there is no way to compromise the credibility or the authenticity of the issues document. It is also environment-friendly, saves time, and makes it easier for prospective employers to easily verify their credentials.

As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, educational technology has arrived on the scene and how! Now, for any institution that wishes to keep up with this changing market, the only way forward is to integrate advanced technologies with their education software solutions. So, what are you waiting for?
