Among the several technologies available, it is Artificial Intelligence that has made a major impact in completely transforming the education sector globally. It is doing so by providing for a customized learning experience. Furthermore, it is using a pedagogical model, which consists of algorithms that not only personalize the content but also encourage adaptive learning. More importantly, this technology helps colleges and universities to use available data to analyze retention rates, program's performance, and intervention needs. 

The availability of cheap smartphones in the world market has enabled many schools to encourage their students to use them in class, especially during quizzes, polls, and other collaborative projects. This trend of having a smart mobile has also extended to corporates, who are preferring employees who can use the latest applications on it to get work done quickly. Since the use of smartphones has dramatically impacted employment opportunities, more and more educational institutions around the globe have begun making mobile or 'e-Learning' a part of their syllabus. 

Some of the latest tech trends that education institutes have begun exploring include advanced analytics and big data. These technological advancements according to McKinsey & Company can help promote personalized learning among students, encourage the use of different teaching style to suit an individual student's need, and also enhance customized learning. The analytics technology also enables teachers to be flexible in their teaching strategy by targeting specific student populations struggling with metrics at advanced levels, and who need help. Above all else, these analytical tools also help teachers to evaluate students and group them according to their understanding levels and thereby giving every single student shine in their style. 

The term 'Mixed Reality' essentially is a healthy mixture of virtual and augmented reality. Augmented reality is smartphone technology which is been increasingly used by educational institutes to educate students through the use of images. On the other hand, virtual reality is a tech tool used to convert the imagination of the student into virtual simulations as a form of learning. 

Students just like customers require their needs must be met to their full potential. As a result, upcoming technologies introduced into the education sector have been developed to focus on meeting the needs of every type of student. This personalization tech trend has so far not only proved to be a standout invention but, in the future will certainly become that goose which lays the golden egg for the Education industry. 

The great Charles Darwin rightly proclaimed "It is not the strongest, nor most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change that will survive", and this is also the reason why you see today technology rapidly making way into the field of education.
