Why using multiple technologies for academic or K12 content development makes sense?

Suppose if a child has to be taught chemistry using the conventional textbook. In such a case, there is a high possibility that the child may lose his interest at the very beginning of the chapter as a lot of scientific terminologies, definitions, and equations will be used to explain a concept. The primary reason for the loss of concentration of the child is his inability to grasp the complex information provided in the textbook and visualisation of the concepts. Similarly, in the case of subjects like history, a child may not show interest as the learners feel that a swarm of incidents that happened in a span of 50 to 100 years is taught to him in a few days. In the case of geography, the scenario is the same, and hence, some children find it difficult to understand what has been taught in school.

What stats say about the benefits of utilization of multiple technologies in eLearning platforms?

When one checks various statistical studies related to the growth of the eLearning companies in India or the e-learning industry as a whole with the use of the latest technologies, one striking aspect that prominently stands out is that when eLearning companies in India incorporated the latest technologies in the e-learning platform, students showed a substantial increase in the interest towards learning.

The appealing technologies were identified as an amalgamation of various e-learning tools like rapid authoring tools, virtual and augmented reality devices and e-learning solutions, cloud-based platforms, online assessment tools, etc. Further, many studies suggest that the utilization of various technologies with artificial intelligence in the e-learning platform may not only help to improve the class concentration and attendance significantly but also increase the participation of the students in answering the question by more than 70%. Hence, technology is slowly turning out to be an indispensable factor when it comes to academic or K12 content development, as it brings along a multitude of benefits, especially in enriching the learner’s knowledge.

Making learning engrossing and enjoyable through the introduction of various technologies in K-12 content development

Learning can be made more interesting when various technologies are incorporated smartly in such a way that the content becomes engrossing and fun. This is because when appealing technologies like three-dimensional animations, videos, and simulations are implemented in K12 content development, chapters can be taught in an altogether different manner to simplify the content and make it easily understandable. In other words, through the introduction of different technologies, positive sentiment towards education can be inculcated within the children. The K12 content development should be such that it should give a feeling to them as if they are participating in an event held in front of them.

Experiential learning

It has been shown by various scientific reports that personalised or tailor-made content helps to enhance the learning capabilities of the individuals. It has also been witnessed that students enhance their knowledge and skills, and excel in studies when experiential learning and personalised content are smartly woven into the learning process. These are the main reasons why e-learning companies in India give extra attention to both customised and experiential learning during K12 content development so that learning is adjusted to the learning pace of the children.
