Students were missing their traditional learning spaces, and the economy was sinking with no vaccine.

Indeed, as the negativity surfaced, many positive things also happened due to the pandemic. Especially the new educational innovations that surfed in the world at the time of need.

Traditional to Virtual - The New Educational shift #

Traditional age-old education systems have always shown resistance to change until the COVID pandemic knocked them down with no other options. The teachers who never supported online classes and tutoring have now become a crucial part of E-teaching. Though many companies, like Google, Zoom, Microsoft, etc., provide the necessary resources for a successful online class, little did we know about the technology-based AI learning systems.

This article helps you understand the new innovations that have turned the traditional educational system into a modern advanced mode of learning.

Learning at your Ease #

Research proves that virtual learning provides better memory retention compared to regular classes. With learning at ease, students are inquisitive about all the technologies and applications. The brain being exposed to creative visuals makes learning interesting both for children and their parents.

Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things #

When speaking of innovation, let us not forget the foremost frontrunner of all technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). Students can get customized lessons curated according to their learning speed with this incredible technology. This might not be possible in traditional classes, and it has shown proven benefits, especially in shy and humble kids.

Educational systems like schools and colleges benefitted from using AI platforms. Many schools have incorporated AI into their system. It has helped in the research and analyze the teaching methods’ insights. Technologies like AI now inspire many ways of teaching.

Other Technological Innovations that You Should Look Out in the Near Future #

AI replacing teachers #

During the quarantine period, many got to know about the value of video learning platforms and how they can help students study. Many students searched their lessons’ names on YouTube to see if there was an easy video explaining the topic that they did not understand entirely.

The most shocking thing is that video learning platforms work like a charm when it comes to understanding the topic in an easier way. There might be a possibility that AI can take over the job of teachers.

Persuasive lessons that help the students #

Teachers have always dealt with students from different backgrounds. An experienced teacher knows what to do and when to do it when it comes to handling a class. But one thing that makes AI more favourable is its sense of persuasion, even though it’s just a machine. The attractive images, soothing voice, and engaging content can easily capture students’ and their parent’s attention.

The one common disadvantage that everyone talks about Artificial Intelligence is people will not have a chance to interact with other human beings. They will not learn to socialize with others. Social Virtual Reality offers chat spaces not just for fun and interaction but also for learning and discussing. What is better than having a study buddy online?

Recorded lessons for future reference #

A human’s attention span is 30 minutes maximum. A traditional class takes up to 45- 55 minutes. Even the studious student will get distracted after a while. This, in turn, might make them miss out on lessons. How many days would we all have come to our home after class and try to remember the learning block we missed? But with technology, you get recorded lessons. You can refer to it anytime at your own pace.

Graphics incorporated in the study lessons #

Imagine yourself as a kid in a college library. Obviously, the one with more graphic materials and images. Even though a kid might not read a book, he/she will love to look at the illustrative pages. This will, in turn, make them inclined towards learning.

Cost-saving educational lessons #

There are many parents who spend an enormous amount of money on their children’s education. Apart from the education, you get charged Also for the commute, books, and other services provided by the school/college. But with technology, Virtual Reality & Augmented Reality platforms are affordable and easy to handle.

A better education that is super affordable, with the best quality content that students love, or a costly school education system where you learn the same thing repeatedly.

Now that I have explained all these, the ball is in your court!

Indian Start-up in Educational Innovations #

How wonderful will it be if your children would love to learn and get good grades? This can be possible with adaptive learning technology that provides engaging, fun, and creative content that is easy to learn. Many Indian start-ups now realize the importance of technology in the field of education. With time we will realize what it holds for the student’s future.
