Wand.education Brings Learning Content 3.0 to Every Teacher in the UAE
Monday, May 1, 2017
While most teachers create their own learning materials, the field of content creation has barely evolved in the past decade, with most tools being just a more user-friendly version of the traditional PowerPoint.
A recent study showed that nearly 99% of the teachers in K12 education are creating their own teaching resources.
This led to two trends:
- PowerPoint becoming the de-facto tool in education to create and deliver content on the whiteboard;
- Content repositories, where teachers upload their resources.
The current state of learning content reminds us of the first stage of the World Wide Web, the so-called Web 1.0:
- Content is static;
- Presentation-oriented;
- Minimal user interaction;
- One flow of information, from teachers to students.
