7 Examples of EdTech Changing How We Teach

Published on

Gone are the days when the only way students and adult learning professionals could expand their education required them to sit in a classroom. Now, thanks to advancements in EdTech, (education technology), teaching and learning have been transformed.

From higher education to workforce training, learning technology is now the backbone of scalable digital solutions for academics. Professionals needing continuing education and students looking to complete certificates and degrees can go online and still work with highly respected academic institutions.

MedCerts Partner Solutions is a leader in the revolution of online learning. We help higher ed institutions and businesses seeking workforce training solutions to build flex learning technology with advanced EdTech. These scalable systems make it easier to create the workforce of the future. Consider these seven ways that MedCerts uses the latest in EdTech to facilitate the results businesses and academic institutions need.

7 Ways EdTech is Changing Academics

1. Virtual Simulations and Labs 

Whether your organization is focused on healthcare or information technology, effective training often requires hands-on learning. This is where MedCerts provides opportunities not always accessible in virtual learning. Virtual simulations and labs give students practical skills while allowing for flexibility.

2. Learning Management Systems 

A Learning Management System, or LMS, can make or break an online learning experience for students. Ensuring that the technology is up to date and engaging, interactive and user-friendly is essential to how we teach online. MedCerts’ EdTech systems offer data dashboards, learning schedules and adaptive, gamified course modules that help keep students organized and on track throughout their programs.

3. Online Certification Training Programs 

Every employer and higher ed institution has different objectives and goals for student and their professional learning. MedCerts lets you customize programs based on these aligned outcomes. 

As part of our instructional design, we use award-winning artificial intelligence to craft scenario-based learning. This creates a safe, engaging experience that relates directly to the work-related outcomes you need from your learners.

4. Self-Paced Course Design

Not all learners work at the same pace, yet traditional academic institutions penalize those whose lives may interfere with the course structure. This is where EdTech truly excels. Your employees or students can complete their work when it’s best for them. 

They can even practice micro-learning, which breaks down courses into bite-sized lessons. Flexibility and convenience can be the keys to success.

5. Immersive Learning

Immersive learning – which involves using EdTech to engage students through interactive and realistic learning experiences – is a popular trend in academics, and for good reason. This cutting-edge technology enhances knowledge retention, improves exam performance and makes for a more enjoyable educational journey. 

6. 3D Learning Environments

Beyond the virtual and augmented reality of immersive learning, MedCerts also integrates the EdTech of 3D learning environments. This creates both real-world simulation and gamification, making the educational process more memorable and fun for students. 

3D learning is also especially powerful for those careers where mistakes are too costly to make. When professionals and students can experience 3D learning, they will be better prepared for important work in the future.

7. Mobile-First Platforms 

Finally, EdTech makes learning possible regardless of a student’s location or life situation. Your employees and higher-ed students can access their courses remotely, removing the hurdle of transportation and required technology. Most people have smartphones, which means that even the most high-tech MedCerts programs can be available to a diverse population.

EdTech Can Work for Your Organization

By integrating the latest EdTech, your organization can take advantage of the latest trends in learning. This can benefit anyone who needs specific training, certifications or other courses to get ahead professionally.
