Today things are different and EdTech is one of the fastest growing area within IT. Higher production values, interactive systems the ability to collect empirical data for the teacher. A lot of this growth, has come out of the demands of global audience that demands more from their online experience. We dont just want to be educated we want to be entertained, we want Edutainment. 

Of course we would make a disservice if we didn’t acknowledge the CoViD-19 pandemic and its subsequent global “lockdowns”, as a large contributing factor for the meteoric rise of EdTech. Literally millions all of a sudden needed the ability to study and be certified online from home.

So now, we just expect that this tool should be accessible 24/7.  On-demand e-learning.

But EdTech is not limited to just online courses, it encompasses things like digital instruction manuals. Its Video tutorials on open platforms like YouTube. It’s VR and AR. Its promotional material with the aim to educate. Today its hard to throw a stone and and not hit something that is not connected to e-learning or EdTech in some way.
