How Mobile Apps Are Transforming the Education Industry

The education professionals: Teachers, principals and other administrators.  The education field has changed drastically over the past few years, with the increasing influence of technology in the classroom. One of the most significant trends is mobile apps for education that transform the way students learn, teachers instruct, and schools or universities function.

The classroom is no more an epitome of education! Whether with personalized learning or immediate access to materials, mobile apps are building an environment of more adaptable, interactive and grasping education.

Key Benefits of Mobile Apps in Education

The popularity of educational mobile applications is more than a tendency, it signals a shift in the way knowledge is processed and delivered. Here are some of the ways mobile apps in education are transforming the industry:

• 24/7 Learning Access
  Lectures, Assignments, Notes and Quizzes are available to students anytime, anywhere. This ease is especially good news for people dedicated to distance education and also working adult learners.
• Interactive and Engaging Learning
  Through gamification, videos, interative quizzes, AR/VR and the like, mobile apps ensures that learning on mobile is fun and engagning. This is an enhancement to retention and promotes step-by-step studying.
• Personalized Learning Paths
  Apps can customize pace and style of learning to each student. With performances and preference, apps can recommend topics to review or practice further, thus making education more personalized.

• Efficient Communication
  The teachers and the students are also connected to the application by mobile apps. Updates on assignments, grades and school events keep everyone in the loop.
• Instant Feedback and Performance Tracking
  Students can easily monitor their level of preparation, with live analytics and performance reports. Teachers also gain the ability to closely track the performance of classes.
• Digital Resource Libraries
  Rather than lugging heavy textbooks, apps allow students to access e-books, journals, past papers and multimedia content — all within the one platform.

How Institutions Are Benefiting

It’s not only students and teachers that are profiting from mobile apps in education, but institutions themselves are benefiting too, by becoming more efficient, scalable:

• Reduced Administrative Load
  Apps simplify the admissions, attendance, grading and communication processes — and free staff from rote work to perform more high-value tasks.
• Scalable Education Models
  Apps enable schools and colleges to scale their influence beyond physical infrastructure. And online-only courses stand to reach thousands of students across the world.
• Data-Driven Improvements
  Correlating student engagement, feedback and outcome will help institutions and teacher to improve on the course content and teaching pedagogies and academic strategies.

Popular Use Cases

• Learning Management Systems (LMS): Moodle and Canvas are user-friendly in their mobile versions, as students can access their coursework on the run.
• Skill-based Learning Apps: Apps such as Duolingo or coding apps like SoloLearn focus on microlearning with immediate feedback.
• Virtual Classrooms: Apps with live classes, whiteboards, and recording features offer a near-classroom experience remotely.
