EdTech at Tarmac

The Challenge

In our digital age, everyone and anyone can be a content creator. What if educators had engaging and powerful software technology, designed specifically for students, to connect, learn, and even celebrate their success? We know that education is becoming more responsive to market demand and that innovative educational institutions are evaluating how they will enhance the academic experience through the development and implementation of mobile technology solutions.

According to a McGraw-Hill digital trends survey, 60% of students feel that digital learning technology has improved their grades, with a fifth saying it had “significantly” improved their grades. Brookings Institution recommends that as school administrators and educators plan remote learning activities, they must also focus on the future, laying a digital foundation that aligns to their long-term educational goals. Younger generations are engaging with technology and it is the primary platform with which to engage and learn.

To ensure continuity of education now and in the future, agile companies, institutions, and governments must use innovative technology to help achieve their goals and empower their students. However most organisations are constrained by time, the technical skills, and resources to quickly bring to market the necessary software solutions to meet increasingly sophisticated student needs.

Innovative organizations are adopting mobile app technology not only to enhance student outcomes, and also to improve overall staff performance by developing apps for interactive training programs and staff productivity. Sophisticated apps can be developed to achieve any business goal:

Customize learning experiences for students;
Provide actionable business intelligence by gathering data about how digital educational materials are consumed;
Utilize AI and IoT to engage the learner and reduce the workload on educators; and
Reduce their carbon footprint.
