A Wide Range of Software to Enhance Learning and Improve Education’s Cost-Effectiveness Is Offered by Large Firms and Startups Alike, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

Technology-based education solutions are gathering tremendous momentum, and in many cases being carefully tested and applied in real school situations. This movement toward the use of more technology has many precedents. For example, technology has completely revolutionized American business and industry since the end of World War II, boosting productivity, increasing quality, and enhancing information flow in a manner that has created better transparency, accountability and teamwork. Advanced technologies have the potential to do the same in education. 
The relationship between public education and technology is very analogous to that of health care and technology. In health care, much of the day-to-day costs are paid for by federal and state governments, while the entrenched habits of the various people working in health care have long been resistant to the application of efficiency-generating software. Today, the vast American health care industry has finally invested heavily in digital patient health records along with related staff training, as part of a larger struggle to find ways to speed care, reduce costs and improve outcomes. This trend is being boosted partly by government grants and incentives, and partly by the fact that technology costs are dropping while the quality and variety of software is improving. In the same way, education is becoming a major user of the latest hardware, software and Internet tools.
