The e-Learning industry is expanding with the advent of technology, and it continues to grow further with better accessibility. The education app caters to the requirements of today’s world. Students have also shown willingness to embrace digital learning technologies (DLT) and practices. About 95% of students worldwide are interested in personalized support and information on degree progress.
The Education App
Category might be a popular one, but it can further be sub-categorized into a
number of heads including the ones that are targeted to cater to children at
the pre-school or elementary school level. Apart from the age-based categories
there are app sub-categories like language learning apps, remote tuition
platforms, learning apps for adults, learning apps for the disabled, apps for
specialized test preparation, and educational
mobile apps for kids.
Benefits of Using
Education Mobile Apps
1 Students Love Apps
This is nothing new, we all know it! Children of all ages are
almost inseparable from their (or their parents’) smartphones. Any new app,
whether it is game, shopping, entertainment, or even a learning-based app is
the coolest or hottest thing for them and they tend to explore it a lot more
than their coursebooks. However, it is important that they dedicate enough time
studying, completing their school work, and preparing for their exams. It is
only natural that when this learning is combined intelligently with mobile
apps, the students become a lot more responsive and their will and enthusiasm
to learn is heightened exponentially. The concept of mobile learning is
currently experiencing a great interest and enthusiasm among the students, teachers,
parents, and the teaching institutions equally.
2 Smart &
Systematic Learning
Education apps have the capability to impart to all users,
smart & systematic learning. All the content on an education app would be
organized and arranged neatly. This arrangement not only increases, among the
students or any app users, a craving to learn more and more through the app but
a craving to learn in a systematic manner. A well-designed app has a systematic
arrangement that take the students through the app, and the content on it in a
smooth, logical flow without the students consciously making any special
efforts for the same. This inculcates in the students an urge and a habit to
learn systematically.
Mobile phones are just that – mobile & portable. You can
carry them anywhere you go and can use them even on the go. The students or
their parents can carry them in the pockets and use the education apps in any
setting that the child feels comfortable in. hence, with education apps, learning
is not confined to classroom spaces, homes, or any defined space, it goes with
you wherever you go!
4 Easy Tracking of
Progress
Some education apps are enabled with features to track the
children’s progress, which is something that every parent wants. The parents
can keep a track on the way the app is helping their child better themselves as
they learn and enhance their math, reading, or comprehension skills.
4 Novel Methods of
Learning
As children move from the traditional classroom setups to the
wonders of mobile learning and education apps, they are exposed to new learning
methods. There is a healthy gamification of course content which indulges the
students in new ways of learning and helps them understand things from a whole
new perspective.
Features of A Good
Educational App
One of the main features of an educational app is Live
Tutorials & Interactive Sessions, which allow the students to join live
lectures and teaching sessions of their respective teachers/ professors if they
have skipped any.
This feature allows us to have a back and forth of ideas and
information between the students and the teachers. Additionally, one can also add a feature of
the private teaching sessions and allow the users to be able to book a private
teaching session with their tutors where they can ask their personal doubts.
2 Regular Practice
& Mock Tests:
Another important feature of the educational app is Regular
Practice & Mock Tests. It is vital to include weekly mock test assessments
in the e-Learning app to conduct timely tests and understand the student’s
level of understanding as well as to make them understand their own level of
preparation and their weaknesses.
3 Push Notifications
& Course Activities:
Push notifications are the necessity of mobile applications.
It helps you stay connected to the users in a non-intrusive manner. Push
Notifications are a very effective and powerful feature. They allow you to
interact with your users without doing so. It is also a must-have feature as
far as the educational app is concerned.
It offers important notifications to the students and teachers specifically, if there is a change in the course and also can be used to send users reminders of their upcoming plans, they can be used to send small motivational quotes, and to send them reminders about revision, etc.
When your app is limited to providing content only in one
language, understand how limited your audience becomes. Hence, providing
learning content in multiple languages can effectively open new worlds for the
proliferation of your app.
Progress Tracking & Achievements is the must-have feature
of an educational app. One of the motivational tools for a student, as well as
the parents, is being able to see the student’s achievements and to be able to
track the progress.
6 Attendance
Management:
Another important feature of an educational app is Attendance
Management that makes managing & marking attendance of both the students as
well as teachers a hassle-free task.
With the help of this feature, the teacher can see the
attendance of the whole class in one go or the attendance of a specific student
for a particular month. Teachers can also mark attendance with an app in less
than 60 seconds.
Creating an app for a school, college, or university is not
really just a fancy thing anymore, it is a necessity. Not only does it help the
educational institutes reach out to the students and indicate that they are
aware of their requirements and preferences, but also simplifies the operations
of their various departments. Hire us for your education app development.
