Top 5 Principles of EdTech Design

Modern education is merging with design and digital technology, especially after the coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic has been a watershed moment for the EdTech sector that has seen an exponential rise in the number of relevant apps and users. In 2020, it was reported that India saw a rise in the user base of EdTech apps that doubled from 45 million to 90 million. Also, the EdTech market in the country is going to be worth $3.5 billion by the year 2022. If you still haven’t jumped on the bandwagon, you might want to start considering the possibilities.

When it is about great UX design in education, the focus is not on futuristic, innovative interfaces. You don’t need an app to make it look like a scene from Matrix. Even though cutting-edge technology is available that can provide kids an immersive experience (for instance, AR and VR technology) where they will virtually explore historical events or learn about underwater creatures while swimming with the kids. This way, kids will be able to interact with a new world without leaving their seats.

The five must-have principles of EdTech design are given below:

1. Aligning technology with pedagogy

2. Focusing on how students will utilize the technology

3. The teacher is at the heart of EdTech design

4. Emphasis on personalization

5. Flexibility and accessibility for all

In education, technology is a tool that supports effective and engaging learning. While you might be tempted to make use of all the latest technology to make your app appear futuristic; you should not forget that the purpose of your app is to spread education. The EdTech UI UX design should not be overly complicated because then, students will not be able to navigate the app. Think about a simple user journey that aligns with your business goals and user motives to deliver an app that teachers and students will have fun using.

So, these are a few of the UX design principles that you need to keep in mind if you’re thinking of designing an ed-tech application. For more information, you can contact Divami. Also, check out our portfolio to get an idea of our UX expertise and capabilities.
