Digitalization is transforming all areas of life, both in everyday life and in professional settings. However, when it comes to education, digitalization has made limited progress. The COVID-19 crisis has revealed this harshly. Schools and universities are not yet adequately prepared for digital education. However, there are already many digital solutions available that can support learning and go beyond mere distance learning. These include the visual immersion of virtual reality, artificial intelligence-driven learning programs, gamification, and various combinations thereof.<\/p>\n
Education Technologies, or EdTech, have the potential to make learning more engaging, personalize it, improve success rates, support educators, and develop new skills in learners. They also facilitate access to education that would otherwise be inaccessible, whether it be in terms of content, instructors, or quality. Geographical boundaries become less relevant. When students engage with digital media, they acquire skills demanded in the modern workforce, such as creativity, digital literacy, problem-solving, and collaboration. EdTech thus tackles multiple challenges at once.<\/p>\n
