Digital learning tools and technologies have dismantled geographical barriers, offering educational resources to students regardless of their background or location. Today, technology supports personalised, student-focused learning, reduces teachers' time on administrative tasks, and helps students develop essential digital skills for their careers. 📌 Although online learning is an inevitable part of our routine, a study by Pew Research reveals that 65% of teenagers still prefer to have in-person contact during their studies. At the same time, studies have demonstrated significant gains in business operations through personalised blended learning approaches. 📌 For example, the American Heart Association found that e-learning can increase employee productivity by up to 25%. 📌 Also, e-learning improves staff retention rates in businesses by between 25% and 60%. So, no wonder 40% of Fortune 500 companies have integrated e-learning into their operations, as per Skill Scouter's research. Technology enables people of all ages to take charge of their education, enhancing self-directed and customised learning opportunities.

Did you know that before the pandemic, investments in educational technology rose from $1.3 billion in 2015 to $4 billion in 2018.  During the pandemic, global investment in EdTech further increased, reaching $4.1 billion in 2020—a year-over-year increase of $1.5 billion. In 2023, the global education technology market was valued at approximately $142.37 billion. It is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4% from 2024 to 2030. So, technology and education seem to go hand in hand, as reflected by the recent advancements that consistently facilitate communication between students and teachers.  Educational technology or EdTech offers significant advantages over traditional learning methods by addressing numerous downsides in current educational systems.   Our school system often fails to acknowledge the uniqueness of each student. For example, some students grasp concepts rapidly, while others require a slower pace. To cap it all, EdTech enhances the usability, efficiency, affordability, and accessibility of learning for all students, regardless of their preferred learning styles.   As you can see, full-time, traditional schooling is becoming less attractive to parents. As times change, so do lifestyle choices, reflecting a significant shift in future planning. Modern learners focus on minimal in-person interaction, extensive use of digital solutions, online connectivity, and the integration of online learning with play.  Discover the top EdTech app features you must have to succeed.

What is the real cost of Artificial Intelligence? Unfortunately, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. The development and further support of a custom intelligent system depend on numerous factors, making the cost of AI projects uniquely estimated for each case: Cooperation model you choose impacts the cost: 📌 Outstaffing: External vendor offers niche expertise in the AI domain, qualified resources, and access to advanced technologies. 📌 In-house software development: This initiative requires substantial investments in sourcing, recruiting, training, and retaining. 📌 Hybrid model: Combining in-house development process with outstaffing enables you to use internal knowledge while compensating skill gaps with vendor’s resources. AI solution functionality 📌 Custom-made AI solutions incur higher development costs compared to off-the-shelf options, which are faster to implement and potentially cheaper but may not fully comply with your business requirements.
