Organizations are ramping up their education technology efforts like we’ve never seen before. In 2021, EdTech investments hit $20 billion, three times the pre-pandemic amount. EdTech became a necessity when the world locked down, but as we make the return to face-to-face interactions and instruction, it’s clear that EdTech isn’t relinquishing its seat at the table any time soon.

Not everyone wants to (or can afford to!) join a full-time program or enroll in a degree that will take them at least three years to complete. Demand from today’s learners is shifting towards a shorter, more precise, and skill-based learning experience: microcredentials.
Online teachers should be open to learning new technology and be excited to provide individualized feedback to students.

This article looks at the benefits of open-source eLearning and how and why institutions choose to migrate to new providers in this space.
