Major Ed Tech Trends for 2021
April 2, 2021
In 2021, the Ed Tech sector will see massive growth. Because of a major shift online due to the pandemic, changes in Ed Tech are happening fast. It will be important for businesses to pay attention to these trends to ensure success in their upskilling efforts. So, what are the major Ed Tech trends for 2021?
Fully online learning or eLearning is the largest trend in Ed Tech for 2021. Overnight, the pandemic moved school and work remote. This caused some major issues because the infrastructure could not handle a fully remote experience smoothly and effectively. After over a year, the kinks are starting to get straightened out, and it is clear that learning and upskilling workers and students online is here to stay. "79 of CEOs are concerned about employees' lack of essential skills," and "46% of CEOs cite significant retraining/upskilling as the top strategy to close the potential skills gap in their organization" [1]. Companies will do this retraining and upskilling online.
Learning online in small manageable bites is the future of Ed Tech. Micro courses curated on specific and relevant information that busy professionals need to learn quickly and efficiently is how professional development will look in 2021 and beyond.
The future of learning online is with AI integration. This will separate the learning experiences that provide the most value and impact from the one size fits all model, which in actuality, serve none. AI Integration into learning will benefit every learning sector from K-12 and Higher Ed to Enterprise learning. AI will be responsible for creating outstanding learning experiences for students of any age, catering to the way they learn best.
The final trend in Ed Tech is the use of analytics to improve learning. AI and IoT provide an unprecedented collection of data. Online learning platforms that can analyze data and create insights for learners, educators, and businesses about the learning journey and will be seen gaining popularity in 2021. In 2020 there were 4.4 zettabytes of data collected on people [2]. When this data collection can be used to improve learning, the game changes, and we all become smarter, faster.
