Description
The internet of things, Big Data, or Machine Learning were some of the most popular educational trends in 2022. However, with the arrival of COVID, in 2020, technological trends gave way to needs, making online learning the most popular trend and, now that this year is finally coming to an end, we ask ourselves: what will be the most popular technological educational trends for the next 2022? At this event, experts from MagicLearning will explain the main trends in education in 2022.
10 tech education trends that will transform the future of training
Versatile, user-centric, and connected, here are the 10 education trends that the eLearning Industry forecasts as the future of digital education:
1. E-learning
If there is something new about 2020, it has been the impulse that, by necessity, has been given to digital educational platforms. The possibility of continuing to receive a quality education without going to any institution in person saves time for teachers and students. It highlights the wide range of options that these platforms offer in terms of interactive learning. It is a discovery that will continue to grow this learning in 2021 as well.
2. Video content
If you watched a movie in class was also the best day of the month, you would understand why video content is such a popular trend. This format helps to attract the attention of users and serves to enrich the lessons and make the content more understandable. A way of bringing information closer to users that will continue to develop in the coming year.
3. Blockchain technology
Incredibly beneficial for learning, especially when storing data, blockchain technology allows content blocks to be added to the system, creating a virtually unlimited storage platform that also distributes information in a decentralized and transparent way.
4. Big Data
Personalization is one of the main benefits of online education, but to offer a satisfactory experience, it is essential to know the user. Therefore, technologies such as Big Data, capable of analyzing large amounts of data quickly, are crucial when building specific content for the development of each student.
5. Artificial Intelligence
According to eLearning Industry, this technology is one of the most popular in the US, where experts have predicted a growth of up to 45% in 2021. But why is it so popular? AI can automate basic activities within the education sector, such as grading exams, saving time for teachers who, thanks to it, can devote their efforts to boosting their students.
6. Learning Analytics
'Learning Analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts to understand and optimize learning and the environments in which it occurs,' which allows to understand the development of each learner better and optimize their learning.
7. Gamification
As you can learn in our article 'Gamification: A fun path to learning, gamification is, in short, a playful system designed to encourage the achievement of objectives based on the concept of action-reward. Simply put, it is about having fun while progressing and learning. And if, as we mentioned above, video content enriches the lessons and brings the content closer to the users, games do it even more.
8. Immersive learning
Extended Reality (XR) generates virtual environments capable of reproducing reality so that the user can interact freely without fear of the consequences of the learning process. Within extended reality, we can find completely virtual environments or a combination of virtual reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), or Mixed Reality. Find out more about the benefits of these technologies here.
9. STEAM educational model
A way for students to understand the subject matter, not just learn it, the STEAM educational model promotes curiosity and experimentation by recognizing students as the main actors, promoting cooperative learning, and generating knowledge and motivation strategies, without forgetting emotion, among other advantages. Another point in its favor? The balanced integration of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.
10. Social networks in education
Suppose you have ever heard of the benefits of social learning. In that case, it is probably not surprising that some teachers have opted for social networks as a communication tool so that students can interact with each other by sharing study materials, discussing with others in a group, or quickly commenting on someone else's publication. According to the theory of social learning, people can learn new things and develop new behaviors by observing other individuals. In other words, we learn by imitation.
