Where is classroom technology headed in 2022?

Adaptable, digital, and future-focused, ahead are edtech trends experts foresee as essential to the modern classroom.

Personalised learning

As the centre of the learning day, the student experience continues to be a major focus going forward. Edtech makes it possible for educators to tailor their teaching and share information while keeping with the pace and methodology that best matches the individual learner.

Big data

The more data an educator has about their classroom, the more effectively they can teach. Of course, simply collecting mountains of student attendance records, engagement with online coursework, or graded assignments throughout one’s educational career won’t do teachers much good if they don’t have an efficient way to analyse it. That’s where big data comes in. It can help schools plan and personalise better lessons for the year ahead and spot potential outcomes for individual learners.

Artificial intelligence

AI benefits both learner and educator in different ways. On the student side, it can take hard to grasp lessons in difficult subjects like trigonometry and transform them into a tangible experience that engages all their senses. Teachers can say goodbye to remedial, timeconsuming tasks like grading and other administrative activities, something they spend approximately 31% of their time doing according to one Telegraph survey.

Learning analytics

Whether teachers are looking for a tool to help them give more targeted feedback or want to empower students to keep track of their own class prep, learning analytics is a deeply resourced tool used for a wide range of class activities and educational stakeholders. The goal is to optimise learning from every angle, be it testing an individual lesson’s efficacy or evaluating an institution’s org-wide approach to lesson planning.
