What are the biggest educational technology trends we’ll see heading into the next decade? From artificial intelligence to video based learning to wellness tech, the emerging edtech trends have a lot in store for teachers and students alike. Here are some top EdTech Trends for 2020.

AI

AI will increasingly be used to personalize learning. For instance, Querium is using AI to deliver customizable STEM tutoring lessons to high school students. The software works by analyzing answers and length of time it took to complete the tutoring sessions, thereby giving teachers insights into areas of weakness for students. Kidaptive’s Adaptive Learning Platform in California uses AI algorithms to help schools collect data and boost student engagement. New challenges are introduced to students based on their strengths and weaknesses.

Video based learning

Video-based learning is becoming increasingly popular with younger generations. Teachers can use not only Youtube but Teachertube and BrainPop to use or create instructional videos on various subjects, either to supplement or present new material. Video-based learning can be especially useful for background information or material that normally would take a lot of time to learn by reading a textbook.

Collaborative (协作式) technology

Collaborative edtech tools are supporting online learning through chatbots; platforms and apps that promote peer-to-peer engagement. Students can use chat tools they already know like Facebook, WhatsApp, or Skype, or they can use chatbots like Google Allo for a more personalized online learning experience, as a source of social learning, to save teachers time, and for online assessments.

Mixed reality

Seattle-based Doghead Simulations has created a social virtual reality (虚拟现实) software called rumii that works with Oculus Go VR headsets to transport students to East China or Northern Africa to learn about the Pyramids or the Great Wall. A Penn State University study found that “students who used immersive virtual reality to accomplish a task did so more than twice as fast as students who used traditional computer programs.”

Edtech is developing rapidly. Fortunately for teachers and students, this means better education delivered more efficiently.

Winter coming, homeless Soapy decided to go to the jail on the Island, where he would not be frozen or starved to death. He must set about accomplishing this right now.
