Education service providers are implementing a hybrid approach where the offline educational system is fueled by digital learning or eLearning because it is well-understood how important educational technology is.
FREMONT, CA: The COVID-19 uprising made it clear that EdTech had saved the education sector. The widespread pandemic originally brought about gloom for the sector. However, it brought about a much-needed shift in the world's outdated, traditional educational architecture.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected the educational experiences of almost 1.6 billion students across more than 150 nations, was the key factor that gave the revolution traction. The traditional educational system, based on schools, was totally upended.
Research claims that 2021 smashed all previous records for investments in EdTech start-ups, which increased from 12.58 billion to 20 billion in valuation from 2020. Understanding the top educational technology trends that will influence and accelerate innovation in 2022 is therefore crucial.
A digital future for education is certain to begin in 2022 and beyond. Education service providers are implementing a hybrid approach where the offline educational system is fueled by digital learning or eLearning because it is well-understood how important educational technology is. Things change as new schools and colleges are founded.
Extended Reality (XR)—Benefiting From Immersive and Simulative Learning
The educational sector has arguably benefited most from Extended Reality (XR). Students, researchers, teachers, and other stakeholders can experience the virtual world in real-size thanks to technologies like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR).
XR provides access to countless innovations. Teachers and lecturers can organise lessons and other content to serve the students' interests. They can even create educational lessons using video games, which could speed up and improve student learning. Student's ability to learn is accelerated by XR thanks to its ability to transport them almost anywhere. Technologies like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) play a crucial role when education and learning are yearnings to break the old bounds.
Gamification of Education—An EduTech Trend That is Critical for Digital Learning
Playing video games while learning has always been a fun experience. But one of the most recent EdTech trends is the gamification of education. The global market for game-based learning is predicted to reach USD 24 billion by 2024, and the market for gamification is predicted to reach USD 30.7 billion by 2025.
Developers create video games and other fun and interactive, immersive learning methods using educational technologies. In order to make learning fun and engaging for kids, plots and storylines are devised. Gamification of education increases student experiences while transforming the setting of conventional education. Gamification inspires and stimulates students to pursue concentrated self-paced learning when they spend a lot of time using smart gadgets that are connected to the internet. Geographical areas, demographics, and
including North America, Europe, and APAC, are expected to drive massive demand for the gamification of education.
