Following a year of unprecedented change in 2020, education institutions continued to evolve and adapt in 2021. By leveraging new digital tools and capabilities to improve online learning experiences, many highly dedicated and resilient education leaders have pulled off incredible transformations. Now, after nearly two years of trying, failing, and succeeding in many areas, institutional leaders have set the foundation for a digital-first world and are beginning to make more strategic investments in technology to change how teachers teach, how students learn, and how institutions operate for the better. The next five years will be a time of continuous and exciting change in education, as institutions seek to redefine themselves and adapt to a new era in education. In this session we will illustrate how some new technology implementations like digital twins and Extended Reality and how strategic partnering can help moving towards closing the homework gap.
