What’s next for education? Wearable technologies!

Fitbit for learning, anyone? Imagine a targeted alert system where the student is personally notified when an assignment is due, or when grades have been posted, or when the next big game is scheduled? Imagine a targeted notification system when, for example, the balance on student’s meal plan is under threshold?

SaaSification of education

Most edtech companies will be working on plans to convert?their on-premise/hosted solution to a SaaS model during the year 2016. This trend will continue this year and probably reach a feverish pace during the year 2017.

Personalized learning pathways

Competency Based Education, Game Based Learning and other personalized learning pathways will become mainstream and will continue to transform learning technologies this year.

Future of education, powered by?Integration

At N2N, we are committed to transforming education by solving the systemic integration issues at the core of administrative information systems. N2N’s Integration Platform (now called “Illuminate“) is at the core of our offering to support the future of education. During year 2015, we have entered into?following strategic collaborations to support educational institutions and leading edtech companies

During the year 2016, we are looking to transform learning by deploying our real-time, bi-directional APIs (http://illuminateapp.com/web/apis/sdoc.jsp) at educational institutions.

Powered by N2N’s API Management platform, N2N’s standardized, student information APIs can be used by educational institutions to achieve the following strategic objectives

  1. Share?Student Data with SaaS providers in a secure fashion using turnkey APIs
  2. Expose Student Data to Wearable, mobile and other devices to send targeted alerts and notifications
  3. Synchronize Student Data between SIS and other third-party applications in a real-time fashion

Summary

N2N has been a strong proponent of collaboration and we have partnered with over 60 educational institutions and several edtech vendors over the years. We will continue this pursuit during the year 2016 to support the future of learning.

Join us to reimagine education during the year 2016.?
