siliconindia | | SEPTEMBER 20248The model of learning has drastically shifted in the past few years. The mode of teaching at present is pretty different compared to what it was some decades back. New technologies have come up and have changed the way of teaching as well as learning entirely. The innovations brought in like self-learning and flipped classrooms have transformed the concept of education itself; digital learning forms an intrinsic and a very beneficial part of today's model of education. Looking forward to the key EdTech trends moving into 2024, educators will get insight into exactly ways through which these innovations are changing the way of learning.Prakash Rengarajan, Co-Founder & CEO, Hello Class, says, "Technology is improving every aspect of our life. It has changed the way we communicate, work, and learn. The rise of the internet and smart phones has transformed the education system, and hand-held devices have now become an integral part of learning, whether in a classroom environment or online. Technology is being used to disseminate learning right from the pre-primary stage to higher education as it is effective, engaging, and personalized".Digital TwinsAs a virtual model of physical objects, systems, or processes, Digital Twins make a difference in educational environments by creating digital twins of classrooms and campuses. Such models use real-time data and analytics so that one might replicate. They optimize the entire life cycle of educational facilities mitigating traditional challenges in the design and management of the classrooms, as well as high costs and inefficiencies. As it matures, the technology could further reach out to the entire campus for enhanced resource management and sustainability. Moreover, Digital Twins could be applied to make a sea change in curriculum delivery, making abstract concepts interactive and engaging, particularly in STEM education, to improve comprehension and retention.Welcoming the new age where technology and education move hand-in-hand, Digital Twins are going to capture the teaching-learning-educational-management world quite easily by bridging the gap between the physical and digital worlds. Though at the outset, the costs would matter, the investment is worth looking from a long-term perspective for the stakeholders: students, educators, and institutions. Embrace this transformative potential now and opt for Digital Twin technology for your classroom or institution Invent Your Education Today.Mobile LearningM-learning has been regarded as a new revolution in learning, for working with the simple aspect of using smartphones, tablets, or even laptops to acquire educational content and become involved in academic activities anywhere and anytime within the Sodium clock. Thus, flexibility from this traditional classroom setting offers ease of access: The learner is able to structure learning by themselves within their freedoms of time and likings. M-learning supports multiple multimedia formats and interactive tools that fit different learning styles and create a better educational experience. It proves especially valuable in distance learning and underserved areas, bridging gaps in traditional educational access.One aspect in which m-Learning truly excels is accessibility it means that students easily gain access to learning materials from anywhere with an internet connection using any mobile device, which brings learning beyond the confines of a classroom. Its flexibility also allows learners to participate at their own pace, thus capturing diverse styles. Interactive features such as quizzes and simulations enhance learner engagement, while collaborative tools foster peer learning. The integration of multimedia caters to individual differences in preferences. M-Learning supports these four unique advantages: just-in-time learning, content tailoring through personalized technology, sustained support during continuous assessment, and seamless experiences across devices, all making education more cost-effective and scalable. The more advanced the technology, the greater is its impact and reach, hence it enhances traditional education and lifelong learning opportunities by seamlessly integrating education into day-to-day life.Voice Assistants & ChatbotsIn other words, the arrival of the age of voice assistants and chatbots makes it a definitive milestone for education in terms of personalization through AI-driven and NLP-based learning experiences. Such digital companions, at the very instance, Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant create personalized learning profiles on preferences and proficiency levels with customized guidance and relevant content recommendations.
