Edtech startups are changing the way the world perceives education. Technology is fast becoming an intrinsic part of training and education. This blog summarizes how modern technology is used in education and what advantages it offers to the students, teachers, and administrators alike.
2. Simply put, Edtech is educational technology, the process of using technology to
provide education and help educators streamline their work. Concepts like artificial
intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality, and augmented reality are used in
teaching and non-teaching processes.
What is EdTech?
4. Personalization of courses to help students, using NLP-based question generation
platform to prepare assessments, automating recurring work for teachers and the
administrative staff, etc., are some ways AI is used in educational institutions.
Artificial Intelligence
Learning Analytics
Learning analytics is more of a future trend in education. However, we can already
see the traces in online certification programs where courses are recommended
based on the student’s syllabus at school/ college, their learning abilities, and
interest areas.
5. The use of affordable AR tools makes it easier to teach STEM subjects and helps
students understand the concepts clearly. The aim is to strengthen the basics for
students to build upon later.
Augmented Reality in STEM
Blockchain Technology
Massive Open Online Courses(MOOCs) are now using blockchain technology to
increase data security and verify the skill level of the students.
7. Be it the BandBlast free app by Music Lifeboat or the CreatorUp Company that’s
teaching people how to become a videographer, online learning is taking over the
art facilities as well. Many freelance dance and music teachers provide online
classes to students from other locations.
Online Learning of Arts
8. Edtech startups provide students with an opportunity to access resources that’ll
help them excel at studies and develop their personalities. The combination of
high-quality education and personality development will give them equal
opportunities in the competitive world and become successful in their choice of
careers.
Boost Careers
9. Gamification is not a new trend but is fast becoming a popular one in the market.
Microlearning is possible through gamification. The process of using the concepts
behind games to promote user engagement is known as gamification. It’s used in
digital marketing and education to retain the user’s interest and explain things
attractively and uniquely. While gamification is currently used to teach kids aged
5-8 years, it’s also used to train teens and adults. eLearning apps such as Duolingo
and Babbel are perfect examples of gamification in education.
Gamification
10. Education is not limited to a subject or a class. It encompasses a whole lot of
attributes that inspire students to become better and successful individuals.
Technology helps teachers instill a range of skills in students and help them give
back to the community. For example, LA Makerspace teaches rubric STEM skills to
disadvantaged youth and helps them with holistic development, which is not
possible with regular teaching facilities.
Complete Learning Experience
12. Digital learning enables students to learn at their own pace. eLearning platforms
collect user information based on how students work on the assignments and use
this data to make changes to the teaching module. Students can watch a tutorial
video multiple times and ask questions directly through the app.
1. Customization for Students
13. One of the biggest advantages of Edtech startups is the development of platforms
like PrepAI, an AI-based question-answer generator solution. The platform utilizes
machine learning and natural language processing to read the input data and
convert it into a set of questions in varying formats. Teachers can decide which
questions to retain, edit the questions, add new ones, change the order, and save
the test paper.
PrepAI has been helping teachers, educational professionals, and trainers to test
their pupils more often and understand their strengths and weaknesses. With
multiple input and output formats, the AI-based platform is a perfect example of
how Edtech startups are helping educators and educational institutions by
reducing their workload without compromising the quality.
2. AI Question Generator
14. Technology has brought a lot of resources closer to the teachers and students. It
takes less time for teachers to look up extra material and add to their classes.
Students are also making the most of the internet to know more and ensure that
their assignments stand out. Research papers, online magazines, guest blogs,
webinars, online lectures, etc., are helping educators and students to expand their
knowledge.
3. Resources in Abundance
15. How do teachers ensure that students are paying attention in the class? Though it’s
still not extensively used, immersive learning is fast gaining fame for providing
students with a greater learning experience. By using AR and VR technology,
students can feel themselves in the scenarios and virtually experience the topic at
hand.
For example, teachers use 3D stimulators to create 3D images of molecules to
‘show’ how a chemical is formed. Students can ‘touch’ and ‘feel’ the molecules as
they learn. This helps them stay attentive in class and retain more information.
4. Immersive Learning
16. Group studies and assignments have been a part of training for a long time.
Technology has made it simple for students from even far-off locations to
collaborate and form teams to work together on an assignment. They don’t have to
travel from one place to another to meet and complete the project. The information
is exchanged online, and the project is completed within the deadline.
5. Easy Collaboration
18. The standard methods of teaching emphasized more on passiveness from the
student and activeness from the teacher. Though things have undergone changes
over the years, the true meaning of interactivity is being explored using technology.
With different interactive tools available in the market, students can learn and
retain additional information. These tools also spark an interest in the subject and
urge students to research more. An example is Seterra, a tool that helps memorize
countries from around the world.
Interactivity
19. It’s not easy for the teacher to alter the teaching process to suit tens of students at
once. It’s too stressful and doesn’t guarantee results in classroom teaching.
However, technology has made it possible. Teachers can customize the lessons for
students based on their learning abilities, that too without feeling the pressure of it.
Adaptability
20. Using AI software that can generate questions from text for assessments and
conducting online tests have become common, thanks to technology. It has made
it possible to conduct assessments at any time and from any location. Platforms
like PrepAI assist teachers in ensuring that students become successful in learning
the subjects and retaining vital information.
