Definition, categories, ecosystem players and why it matters for your institution.
EdTech, short for educational technology, is the set of tools, platforms, devices and methods that apply technology to improve teaching and learning. It spans from classroom hardware to software, digital content and training services.
EdTech is the field that joins education and technology. It covers a whole sector that designs solutions to make teaching and learning more effective, accessible and measurable.
The EdTech ecosystem brings together hardware manufacturers, software developers, content creators, integrators, educational institutions and public bodies. AVACOM is one of the few Latin American players that designs hardware, software and content in an integrated way and with proprietary patents.
Understanding the EdTech landscape lets a decision-maker evaluate proposals with their own judgment, tell real solutions apart from sales promises, and make purchasing decisions aligned with their context and budget.
No. E-learning, online learning, is just one part of EdTech. EdTech also covers hardware, content, in-person platforms and training services beyond distance courses.
No. There are offline-first EdTech solutions, designed to work without a permanent connection. They are especially important in regions with limited connectivity.
It is worth reviewing its real pedagogical usefulness, how it works with and without internet, the support and training it includes, and its total cost of ownership, not just the upfront price.
