Amidst the COVID-19 unrest, it became apparent that EdTech (Education Technologies) came to the rescue of the education industry. It is beyond doubt that initially, the rife pandemic created doldrums for the industry. Still, it triggered a much-needed revolution for the old traditional educational architecture worldwide.

However, the revolution gained momentum mainly when the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the learning of approximately 1.6 billion students in over 150 countries. The school-based learning, the traditional education system, was completely disrupted.

Thankfully, EdTech solutions held hands with the industry and helped rethink the education model. As education software solutions appear to be promising for many educators and help them open the opportunity door in the new world, education start-ups sprouted everywhere. It is the trending education technologies that help ensure business continuity for education services providers worldwide.

According to a report, 2021 broke all records concerning investments in EdTech start-ups, which reached 20 Billion in valuation from 12.58 Billion in 2020. Therefore, it becomes imperative to learn about the top educational technology trends that will shape and accelerate innovation throughout 2022.

Exploring the top 5 education technology trends in 2022 

Education in 2022 and onwards is sure to see a digital future. The importance of educational technologies is known, and education service providers look to implement a hybrid model, where the offline education system is powered by digital learning or eLearning. When schools and colleges open up, things are not the same. So let’s explore the significant disruptive education technology forces that will accelerate innovation in 2022 and help create innovative EdTech solutions.

  1. Extended Reality (XR) — Benefiting from immersive and simulative learning

  2. Extended Reality (XR) is probably the best thing that happened to the education industry. Technologies such as AR (Augmented Reality), VR (Virtual Reality), and MR (Mixed Reality) enable the virtual world to integrate with the physical world and deliver life-size experiences to students, scholars, teachers, and other stakeholders.

    XR opens the door to endless innovation. Teachers and lecturers can package learning materials and other content in the best interest of the students. They can even prepare educational lessons through gaming, which might help students learn things better and quickly. With its ability to transport students virtually anywhere, XR accelerates their learning ability. When education and learning are desperate to break traditional boundaries, AR and VR are critical in offering self-paced, interactive, and individualized learning experiences.

  3. Gamification of education — An EduTech trend that is critical for digital learning

  4. Gaming has always been an exciting aspect when it comes to learning. However, the gamification of education is among the latest EdTech trend. According to an article in Forbes, the global gamification market is expected to reach $30.7 Billion by 2025, and the global market for game-based learning to $24 Billion by 2024.

    Developers use education technologies to design video games and other engaging and interactive approaches to immersive learning. Plots and stories are created to make learning easy and interesting for students. Gamification of education transforms the traditional education environment and improves learners’ experiences. When learners spend much of their time using their smart devices — connected to the internet — gamification motivates and excites them to pursue focused self-paced learning. In the coming years, geographies, including North America, Europe, and APAC, are expected to drive massive demand for the gamification of education.

  5. Artificial Intelligence — Converging intelligent technologies to deliver personalized learning experiences

  6. AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the technology that makes perfect use of advancing technologies. When the digital age witnesses constant data flow, AI technology uses computational methodologies, analytics, automation, and algorithms to generate meaningful insights from end-to-end data. Including big data, ML (Machine Learning), analytics, and more to offer improved earning, underpinned by sheer intelligence.

    AI helps create intelligent tutorial systems and performance-based grouping. It analyses learners’ demand, learns from their behavior, and evolve with their need to offer hyper-personalized learning experiences. Possibilities with AI in education are being explored worldwide, and it is attracting heavy investments. According to verified market research, the global market value for AI in education is forecast to grow at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 45.21% from 2021 to 2028 to reach $21.52 Billion.

  7. Mobility — Delivering asynchronous learning

  8. The ubiquitous influence of smart devices, including laptops, mobiles, tablets, and more, has impacted the way educationists interact and engage with students. According to a report, such smart devices' inflow has doubled during the pandemic. And technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things) enable connectivity, helping education service providers build a connected education system and deliver remote learning experiences to students.

    Mobility is among the top educational technology trends in 2022. It encourages students to access data in real time and pursue asynchronous learning, which means learning at the convenience of students. Besides, mobility enables nano-learning too. Students can learn and revisit educational content in small, packaged form and also learn through social media platforms and even share it as and when required.

  9. Blockchain — Integrating security, transparency, and reliability

  10. Blockchain technology helps educational institutions ensure the free flow of data in a secure and stable environment. Blockchain is nascent in the education industry but has helped find viable use cases. Possibilities with Blockchain in education are being vehemently explored by educators worldwide. Blockchain service providers help them build blockchain-based educational applications and platforms that run on its decentralization feature.

    Right from maintaining students’ records, authenticating identity, and reducing dependency on intermediaries to enabling researchers, scholars, and practitioners to benefit from high-end data storage and processing system, Blockchain offers speed and accuracy. Besides, it plays a critical role in establishing a transparent and accountable exams and evaluations system and enables secure payment mechanisms and verifiable transactions.

EdTech is critical to achieving sustained education system transformation and rapid innovation

Though many educational institutions mulled digital transformation in the pre-pandemic days, the outbreak of COVID-19 pushed the need for one and all. Schools and colleges were shut, classes were suspended, and measures such as social distancing and isolation were implemented. Thus, The education services providers started the quest to explore ways and ensure educational continuity while surrounded by a volley of COVID-19-led challenges across endpoints.

According to an article in Forbes, by 2027, the EdTech industry is expected to reach $680 Million. Educational institutions worldwide now realize the importance of EdTech solutions and are keen on pursuing Education Software Development Services to create the right mix of education technologies, upgrade their digital capabilities, and attain sustainable transformation.
