Demand-based learning
Education systems in the past could not adequately accommodate the concept of an individualized learning experience for everyone due to far too many limitations. Technology in education has led to the ability to create custom teaching and learning methods and experiences in our current educational institutions. Modern gadgets and interfaces allow anyone to start learning, regardless of their needs, preferences, or availability.The development of mobile and web apps for education has ushered in an era of demand-based learning instead of the one-size-fits-all mentality of classroom education. For instance, a shoe salesman can become a data scientist by accessing relevant programs through a mobile app.
Student insight
High-tech is becoming increasingly ubiquitous in the educational system, and educational data is becoming an increasingly important tool for driving and making decisions. With so much education information and data available, it is increasingly critical to measure student engagement, traction, and academic output. Eventually, learning analytics will be able to warn teachers of issues and help them be proactive. It can also inform students about their progress and assignment deadlines, etc. Teachers and students will be guided by learning systems in how education is transmitted and experienced. Data analytics will maximize learner engagement in education.
Cloud computing
With cloud computing, high-tech education became possible like never before. Throughout the world, information stored in remote cloud servers of the apps made it possible to access courseware and educational materials from any mobile device or any location. You can collaborate with your peers and share your coursework easily with your tutor via the cloud. Furthermore, cloud-based education apps were able to solve the problem of data storage as well.
Voice recognition technology
Virtual assistants and voice recognition software have now become standard on most devices and app platforms. Voice-activated intelligent assistants make things easier for students. The speech-to-text feature, available on most mobile devices, makes note-taking and writing even more convenient and quicker allowing achieving knowledge to be unrestricted to all.
Learning through virtual reality
The use of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality has greatly impacted online education. Learners can benefit from immersive learning experiences that are powered by virtual reality and augmented reality without the need to move. When running a 3D underwater diving video on your smart TV, you can float around in the water as your headset depicts the deep blue of the sea while the background voice continues to guide you. In medicine too this has its benefits. Students gain a deeper understanding of critical operations when they watch real-time broadcasts of surgical operations.
3D printing
Through 3D printing or prototyping, students can learn in a more hands-on and tangible way. Thanks to 3D printers, students can easily create objects based on their ideas. This allows them to take their ideas and make them a reality. It enables students to unlock their creativity and have more hands-on learning opportunities.
Gamification
Gamification is the personification of how learning can be made fun and engaging. Anyone, even adults, learns better when they’re having fun. Kids are no different. Gameplay in the classroom enables students to connect the fun aspect of the game with the content and concepts they must learn. Gamification increases student engagement, keeps their interest piqued, and creates excitement for the lesson.
Artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence is a very useful tool for teachers. It is advancing in the educational sector by providing many amazing features such as automated grading and feedback and providing personalized learning opportunities. Teachers can save time by automating the grading process and providing automated feedback. This is one handy technology to have around.
