Ed-tech revolutionizes education to meet modern demands

EdTech, in full Education Technology, means the use of technology to further smoothen and individualize the process of education. In fact, many tools like VR are associated with games, although their professional educational uses are new learning opportunities for students, far-flung from their origins of entertainment. They include mobile applications, e-learning platforms, virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence. These tools open up learning and make it more engaging, totally revolutionizing the traditional way of teaching. ‍

Impact on Education

The role of virtual reality in education is to provide an immersive experience that would be fundamentally different from how all other manual trades are currently learned—through repetition. It enables one to practice techniques repeatedly, developing muscle memory and receiving instant feedback that accelerates learning and makes it more effective. Virtual reality allows students to practice various methods without additional risks and costs and helps in the development of highly valued professional competencies. Technologies such as virtual reality in vocational education open a wide area of possibilities for students and provide them with tools for learning and practicing abilities in ways that are both effective and exciting. By removing the constraints of convention—physical limitations and material costs students can be learning skills relevant and in demand in the workforce. ‍

Artificial Intelligence in Education

Artificial intelligence plays a huge role in personalizing the teaching process, providing instruments for the analysis of student learning outcomes and tailoring teaching materials to the needs of every person. This is especially useful with AI in education about monitoring students' learning progress and real-time adjustments of the teaching program, which is very hard to implement in big groups since individual attention by the teachers is very limited due to their size.

It also makes the process of evaluation much more constructive because AI engages students and teachers more effectively through automated assessments with instant feedback. In this regard, AI-based intelligent assistants and tutors can locate gaps in students' knowledge and provide relevant teaching material, which helps eradicate errors at a very nascent stage of learning. In this way, acquired habits can be corrected in real time before they solidify.

Another tool in the EdTech arsenal is Metaverse a parallel digital world to reality which makes it possible to create large and compelling educational environments in which students can communicate with the material at an entirely new level. This becomes very important in the context of a global pandemic that accelerated the digital transformation of education. Edtech makes learning more accessible and more appealing to new generations of students growing up in a technological world. On the other hand, AI, AR, VR, and Metaverse tools may significantly accelerate this process while increasing its efficiency and effectiveness. In the digital age, when technology always will become an integral part of daily life, Edtech shall continue its evolution to change the face of education forever.
