5 EDTECH TRENDS FOR 2024 AND BEYOND

According to a report by the World Economic Forum, by 2030, over 1 billion people will need to be reskilled due to technological advancements. This skills crisis in the workplace is a reality we are already facing, and it’s becoming increasingly urgent to find solutions. To navigate this crisis as smoothly and stress-free as possible, I'm exploring various methodologies and how new technologies can help.

As we move into 2024, it’s exciting to see how much the world of education is changing, all thanks to incredible technological advancements. There are some really big trends on the horizon that are going to completely reshape the way we learn and teach. Here’s what’s coming our way in the world of edtech:

• AI and Machine Learning: The integration of AI in education is creating personalized learning experiences like never before. Adaptive learning technologies and intelligent tutoring systems are making education more tailored to individual needs. This innovation ensures that personalized learning is accessible to students worldwide.
• Gamification and Interactive Learning: Engaging and interactive learning environments are becoming the norm, with gamification leading the charge. The localization of these interactive experiences into multiple languages breaks down language barriers and makes learning more inclusive.
• Immersive Learning with AR/VR: Augmented and Virtual Reality are revolutionizing education by creating immersive learning environments. Lip-syncing and voice cloning technologies add a new dimension to these experiences, offering accurate translations and voiceovers that enhance the realism and accessibility of AR/VR learning.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: The power of Big Data is helping educators make informed decisions to improve student outcomes. Prioritizing data security ensures that educational data is handled with the utmost care during localization processes.
• Global Learning Platforms: As global learning platforms rise, the need for multilingual accessibility becomes paramount. Supporting learning in over 130 languages makes quality education accessible to all.

At the same time, most edtech startups often fail due to several key factors: poor market research, lack of patience, unclear distinction between consumers and customers, unnecessary technology integration, lack of transparency and instructor collaboration, overly complex app features, and insufficient user training.
