How technology is changing in the education sector
Classrooms today are packed with technology – from computers, mobile devices, interactive screens, and online learning. As education technology continues to change, one of the sector’s big players is looking to keep pace with developments and encourage innovation. “The digital medium gives us the opportunity to really take the education and learning experience to the next level,” said Albert Hitchcock, chief technology and operations officer for Pearson Education. In the last few years, massive open online courses (MOOCS) have gained popularity. Companies like Pearson have the ability to deliver learning at any time and in any place around the world. Machine-learning and artificial intelligence (AI) are at the core of the platform. It allows a personalized experience tailored to the student, and allows teaching faculty, access to how the student is responding to that experience.
