4. Freedom of expressing

It is also one of the popular educational trends of the education system which introduced in 2020, well it is not some kind of technological up-gradation or modification. In classroom study, there is always the norm that only first benchers are more expressive and creative and it is pre-assumed that last benchers are usually passive in classroom interaction but online classes provide a great opportunity to every student to participate equally in classroom interaction without hesitation and it is fact that in online classes students are more active because they are comfortable in their homes and there is no seating plan like a physical classroom in which half students sit in front rows and other sit in back rows which contribute personality developments of students in the wider picture.

We all know the exam pattern which has been used for so long before pandemic, traditional and hectic exam pattern in which students has to give exams in the school environment and they feel intense pressure but now, exam pattern has completely changed and students don’t have to travel exam centers for their exams and can give exams in their own personal space with more confidence without feeling any kind of pressure.

6. Introduction of VR technology

VR stands for virtual technology and in my point of view, it is one of the major trends of educational technology. VR technology is one of the emerging technology which is currently using in top educational institutes around the globe which included MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Wisconsin, Yale and all IITs and IIMs of India. In simple words VR technology is meant to use virtual headsets which produce realistic images of ongoing topic and issue, it also produces realistic sounds, graphics, and motions of people. VR technology is primarily used for giving practical exposure to students so they have a better understanding and knowledge about the topic and can apply it successfully on their own. VR technology is the best tool for engineering students and students who are studying in the space field because practical exposure is definitely needed in these fields.

7. Online data saving

In the covid -19 pandemic, the entire education system changes and goes to online which brought many significant changes like the introduction of the online classroom, online test, exams conducted through text sheets instead of physical sheets, online submission of exams, virtual assessment of students, digital quizzes, events, competitions, and other functions. We all know very well that before the pandemic everything was handy and physical, I was talking about data related to students but now every detail of student from their names to their annual report cards available digitally and can be access by school authorities and students whenever they want and in my opinion, it is a great advantage of education technology because recording data physically could be a problem sometimes because firstly it requires large manpower for large educational institutions and there is a chance of error because humans are not ought to make data completely flawless but technology made it far easier because technology cannot make an error in recording. Recording data digitally is also good because it is saved on the internet and cannot be misplaced and use for different purposes at any time which is really a positive indicator of education technology.
