Education Sector

The education sector has made a massive digital transformation over the past two years, with the preparation for remote learning. A considerable influence in this sector (as in many others) is cloud technology; it is predicted that within higher education the market growth will increase at a rate of 22% in the forecast period 2022-2027, according to The Bite News.

Check out Climb's top software tools for education that students, educators, and administrators will love.

Cloud Technology in Education

The cloud has become a popular solution for education, whether in primary or higher education and in the workplace.  Some of the benefits of cloud solutions include:  

cloud-education

Online Resources

Online Resources

Educational videos and recorded lessons can be stored for students to use and re-visit. These can be accessed at any time by the student, allowing them to catch up on work easily.

Up-to-date materials

Up-to-date materials

The cost of textbooks often means they are inaccessible for some students. By uploading resources to the cloud, students work with the same, up-to-date information.

Accessibility

Accessibility

For some, attending school is not an option for several reasons. Having resources and classes available online means schools, colleges, or universities can take on more students.

Paperless

Paperless

Many education facilities and workplaces are trying to move to a more sustainable way of teaching. Having one space online for all the resources and an area to submit work helps them to become more environmentally friendly.

Collaboration

Collaboration

Cloud technology allows students and staff to access files simultaneously. This means collaboration on projects can happen wherever the user is based, which creates a more efficient process.

Growth

Growth

Cloud solutions allow education facilities to give access to as many students as they want. Whether your customers have 1 or 1000 users, it is easy to access the cloud and grant access to those who need it, which can significantly reduce costs for educators.

video-assisted-learning

Video Assisted Learning

A new trend in the education sector is video-assisted learning. This way of teaching allows students to learn at their own pace, at any time. This creates a more personalised learning experience, increases motivation and engagement. In other sectors, this could eliminate the need for staff to travel for training days and allow them to do this virtually.

Remote learning

Thanks to online-only universities and the increase of popularity of remote working, elearning was already increasing as a method of training staff and completing courses. During the pandemic, educators and organisations alike were forced to implement universal elearning software, processes and content to ensure the wheels kept turning, even when students could not physically be in a classroom.

This was a pivotal time for elearning and a lot of organisations have chosen to continue with working and learning remotely, whether full or part time.

Therefore, there has never been a better time to introduce your customers to state-of-the-art training software and elearning solutions.
