Since the advent of personal computing, education has been powerfully transformed. EdTech is the new emerging frontier with unlimited possibilities. EdTech, short for “education technology” refers to the use of computers, educational material and tools, online courses and computer programs to provide a method of learning and training for students and faculty members. In a corporate environment, the same concept is used for training employees at various levels and in different functions.
Grhombustech, a leading software development company in UK, is a leading player in the edtech sector in UK. The below are some of the key advantages of EdTech for students per our analysis.
1. Student Engagement
Students need to be actively engaged in classroom sessions to facilitate learning. When there is a distraction in class, the attention span reduces and learning is affected. With the use of EdTech tools learning can be made more immersive with more interactive and collaborative sessions. Further, IR and VR tools can be integrated to deliver a complete learning solution.
2. Breaks Barriers
EdTech because of its online nature has a universal appeal and can break barriers. Imagine a student in Africa wanting to learn the latest in a course or undertaking some distance education courses in a university. EdTech ensures that no lesson or concept is missed out and that students gain a complete understanding. Further, there is 24 × 7 × 365 access to learning meaning that time zone are also not a constraint. Digital literacy is promoted by the use of EdTech and this is a key skill for individuals as they move on to work.
3. Resource Availability
EdTech is not about video or audio lectures alone. It is an integrated platform with notes, animations and anything in between. Thus, the possibilities and features of an EdTech platform are numerous. Thus, every student can choose what resource helps them to understand the concepts best. This means that whatever be the learning curve or capacity of the student, there is always a tool available to help them climb the ladder of success.
4. Economic Benefit
By shifting online, the cost of gaining knowledge is reduced to a fraction of what it is to attend a university for the same course. Further, there is no travel involved and all the study materials are available and so are the staff. Thus, anyone can afford to gain knowledge and the required certifications without burning a hole in the pocket!
5. Progress Tracking
With EdTech, it is now possible to the track progress of students across various domains. Thus, the individual strength and weaknesses of students can be more easily analysed and quantified. This can then be led to tailoring the course, offering counseling in the weak areas or even undertaking specialization, as the case may be. All this is now facilitated by data and real-time analysis.
