Edtech Trends In 2023
This high-yielding year is a harbinger of a future where the intermingling of education with technology can bring forth developments that people saw only in sci-fi movies years back. 2022 nurtured a propitious ground for players in the EdTech field to keep innovating ways that can make learning fun, interactive and easy to absorb.
As we stand at the threshold of 2023, expecting a grand year of new possibilities, it is important to tap into the upcoming trends that can continue to expand the EdTech Industry to the zenith of its culmination.
Student-centric learning in the era of hybrid learning
The shift from offline to online to hybrid mode of facilitation has given birth to something called, ‘Asynchronous Learning’, allowing students greater flexibility and freedom, removing the air of compulsion. This makes knowledge fun, as the autonomy that the students have in this mode makes them better performers. The most engaging part here is that the level of personalisation is really heightened, especially with a dashboard specifically dedicated to the individual student that reflects the information with respect to the individual needs. Hybrid learning will also widen the scope for students to get an education from overseas universities without the compulsion to attend classes physically; making such learning very affordable.
Gamification
A very interesting and fun addition to the way education and information is presented to the students is gamification and we can see a big uptick in its adoption. Gamification makes learning really enjoyable as games are intertwined with education, therefore enhancing the same interest, curiosity and impression that a gamer often experiences while playing games. This mode of instruction and learning also helps the student to remember facts with accuracy, and apply them in a real-life context.
Adoption of blockchain technology
2023 will see adoption of blockchain technology in various formats. The most common adoption is expected to be in the domain of record keeping both for educational institutes and students. We can also expect universities to rely on blockchain technology for secure storage of their digital coursework and syllabus. As per reports blockchain technology market is expected to grow at CAGR of 85.9 per cent in the next few years.
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
The technology landscape is booming like never before in all sectors and industries and the education sector is no exception. Students today are exposed to learning scenarios where learning is facilitated based on individual learning style and an automated technology that senses each student’s educational requirements. Technologies like Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, are opening doors for inculcating newer means of experiencing education and procuring better outcomes. With these simulated realities, the students can enter into a new dimension of learning, not just living and witnessing the lessons, but also imbibing them quicker for practical use in professional settings.
Social inclusion
In today’s world education is not a luxury but a necessity which is important for sustenance. Hence, education must be accessible to all if we want to see a generation that is willing to upskill themselves for new means of income and financial stability. With technology empowering the education sector, it has opened up a platform that will be inclusive of everyone, irrespective of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, paving a path for a diverse group of workforce that are not privileged but skilled in the truest essence. With technology and infrastructural advancement, we can expect connectivity to reach the remotest place and brighten everyone’s lives with the hopes of living a more evolved and healthy life.
These are the primary points of what trends we can expect to manifest in the year 2023, a year believed to be filled with possibilities and developments. But technology and its amalgamation with education can open more future possibilities that are not just limited within the premises of these 5 points.
