    Technologies to invest in boosting higher education learning

    By Antara Harve | Higher Ed & K-12 Solutions | Comments are Closed | 3 February, 2023 | 0

    The learning and education sector has seen drastic developments and unprecedented changes in the post-COVID-19 world. Online education is growing rapidly across the globe, and technological innovations are changing how education is imparted every day.

     In such a dynamic environment, every education technology company must constantly update the technologies used to design, develop, and implement different educational programs. 

    According to a study by Holon IQ, education technology is slated to grow 2.5 times from 2019 to 2025 and is expected to reach $404B in total global expenditure. Therefore, investing in the right kind of higher education technology is pertinent for companies to reap the benefits of technology in higher education. 

    Ideal Technological Investments for an Education Technology Company

     In the current educational landscape, utilizing learning technologies across different digital platforms is pretty much the norm and is a critical factor for e-learning modules.

     As the various methods of imparting education continue to evolve, every education technology company needs to update itself continually. Here are some emerging technological practices that will support the growth of higher education in the near future.

    Digital Learning Technologies 

    Digital learning technologies are constantly evolving, and every education technology company needs to invest in newer avenues of digital learning and teaching solutions.

     These investments may involve significant expenses in infrastructure to support emerging technologies. Here are some common digital learning technologies.

    Learning management system (LMS)

    An LMS integrates all course materials, learning modules, exercises, and activities. In addition, it allows for online discussions, group activities, grading assignments, etc. 

    Multimedia 

    Multimedia can include video, audio, and other kinds of interactive content. Some multimedia apps can also be embedded in the LMS for more convenient usage. 

    Collaborative Applications

    Cloud-based or online applications that allow students to collaborate with their instructors and peers are essential elements that every education technology company should invest in.

    Synchronized Technologies 

    Synchronization between different applications and media is necessary to conduct real-time online sessions. In addition, this synchronization helps maintain interactivity in online classes.

    Emerging Technologies 

    Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), extended reality (XR), and virtual reality (VR), are expected to enable more engaging teaching methodologies in the coming years.

    Modes of Instruction 

    Online education and e-learning modules can be imparted through various instructional modalities. If a course is available in several modalities, students can choose whichever methodology suits them the best. 

    Classroom Teaching 

    In this method, the teaching occurs in a classroom, where in-person interaction between the students and the instructors is held. In addition, the use of technology enhances teaching.

    Online Teaching

    The entire teaching process occurs online in this modality and is imparted using various technologies. 

    Hybrid

    This is a blend of the classroom teaching method and online teaching. Students have the flexibility to choose either option. Sometimes, they may even have the option of choosing both. 

    Support Services 

    When an education technology company invests in technological innovations, it must also make additional investments in support services.

    Some support services are essential for the successful digital transformation of the educational landscape.

    Technology Support Staff 

    Additional technology support staff members must be hired whenever an institution updates its educational technologies. The increase in online education has made 24/7 technology support for students and instructors mandatory.

    Instructional Designers

    Every education technology company needs to hire instructional designers to support the instructors in effectively implementing e-learning modules.

    Student Support Services 

    Students need dedicated academic support to access online libraries and other resources. They also need support for registration, course advice, and consultations. 

    Instructor Development 

    Teachers and instructors must undergo regular training and development to keep up with the changing educational landscape. 

    When instructors had to quickly move to online teaching from classroom teaching during the pandemic, many didn’t have adequate training to make a smooth transition. 

    Providing adequate training opportunities and resources to the faculty is essential to help them improve their technological skills. 

    Learner Development 

    Students and learners across age groups and social classes have had to quickly adapt to the rapidly changing world of education in the past few years since the pandemic hit. 

    While contemporary learners have access to opportunities and resources that were inconceivable just a few years ago, they also face various challenges in a highly digitized world.

    Learners should ideally be trained in basic technology and life skills, including computer and internet skills, self-discipline, time management, teamwork and collaboration, stress management, self-motivation, community building, etc. It is also important to provide students with adequate mental health support. 

    Organizational Policies 

    More organizational policies must be developed and implemented to support online teaching and e-learning modules. 

    Responsibilities of teachers, teaching load, enrolment criteria for students, evaluation criteria, and many other factors must be considered while formulating new organizational policies. 

    Organizations should also examine the funding models for different instructional modalities. Another important issue to be considered is the inequalities in students’ ability to access technological resources.

    Benefits of Technology in Higher Education

    In the modern world, technology is indispensable in higher education. The use of technology has enhanced the education and learning processes in numerous ways. Here are a few benefits of technology in higher education.

    • Personalized learning opportunities
    • Increased collaboration among peers
    • Improved levels of learner engagement
    • Incorporates different learning styles
    • Improved teacher productivity
    • Access to unlimited resources
    • Better accessibility and inclusion 
    • Enhanced creativity in learners
    • Automation and online assessment
