Hi everyone! I’m a student at EKA University of Applied Sciences, and I’m working on my thesis about the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) in education. I’m exploring how these technologies can make learning more engaging, inclusive, and accessible.

I’ve created a short survey (takes about 5–10 minutes) to gather insights and perspectives. Your feedback will help shape my research and contribute to the growing conversation about VR/AR in modern education.

Hi Creators!

I’m exploring an idea for an app designed to help video creators like you reach global audiences effortlessly. The goal is to simplify the process of making your videos accessible in multiple languages without breaking the bank or spending hours on localization.

Here’s what I’d love to know from you:

1. What’s your biggest challenge when it comes to creating multilingual content?
2. How do you currently handle translating or dubbing your videos?
3. If there was an app to simplify this process, what features would be a must-have for you?

Whether you’re a YouTuber, educator, or small business owner, your insights would mean the world to me. I’m gathering feedback to better understand the needs of creators like you before building out the tool.

Feel free to share your thoughts or pain points in the comments. Let’s make global content creation easier together!

I always found it difficult to absorb knowledge when reading papers / textbooks.

If you're the same, you might like Audium - a platform my team and I have built that turns learning into a podcast-style experience. Instead of struggling through dense materials, you can listen to engaging lessons hosted by two experts who discuss each topic in an easy-to-follow and conversational format.

Right now, Audium covers a range of subjects, from traditional topics like business, biology, psychology, history and more, to practical skills like personal finance, critical thinking and even customer service. We're adding new courses and features every week as the platform grows, which is where I’d love your input.

What would you like to see on Audium?
Are there specific courses, features, or tools that would make this even more useful for you? I want to make this platform as valuable as possible, and your feedback as members of the edtech community would be hugely appreciated!

Hi there! Currently interviewing for high ed ed tech role and coming from K-12 Ed sales space. Any recommendations on good discovery questions to lead with as it relates to working with professors (vs curric coords). TY! Also, new to tech space- any tech forward questions would be helpful!

I’ve found that my students focus way better when I use visuals to break up the material. But designing those visuals takes a lot of effort, and sometimes I wonder if there’s a more efficient way.

What tools or strategies do you use to create visuals that actually hold student attention? I’m looking for anything that helps make this process smoother.

update: I just found a few good places for the visuals: Canva, Adobe Express, ChatSlide.

Hi all. I'm teaching a university course in the spring that introduces pre-teachers to a variety of technologies. What are some popular websites, games, tools, etc. that I should include in the course for these potential teachers to use in the future? So far I've included Canva/PowerPoint, Kahoot, Quizlet, Padlet, Popplet, Book Creator, and Prodigy.

What is the minimum cost for enterprise technology in higher education? Assuming a small college of 1,000 undergrads with and without residence hall. You need an SIS, Finance and HRIS. You need a cloud email and collaboration suite and an LMS. You need a network and tech in your classrooms. Plus staff to manage all this. What’s the minimum “buy in” to run tech at a small college?

As a teacher, I’ve noticed that students often struggle to stay engaged when reading dense textbooks or complex materials. One approach I’ve been experimenting with is giving them a quick, engaging summary of what the content is about before they dive in.

It seems to help them focus better and retain more information since they have a framework in mind before tackling the details. What’s your approach to helping students stay focused and absorb information more effectively?

Has anyone else experienced this exploit in their CB fleet and if so was there anyway you found to stop the students from using it? Reading through other posts about this type of Sh1mmer exploit I haven’t found a way but maybe we’ve missed something?

If i use Linkedin and filter by industry.(E-learning, Higher education) you can miss out on companies like Duolingo. They go by the Software Development filter. One thing I tried to do is go on HolonIQ, go to Chatgpt copy a screenshot of the list of companies, then say create me a boolean search with these companies. I need an easier way to find jobs at Edtech companies .

Hi everyone! I'm exploring different ways to make online learning more engaging through interactive content. I've been experimenting with various formats like knowledge check quizzes and branching scenarios, but I'd love to hear what works best in your experience.

What's your preferred method of adding interactivity to your courses? Do you find quizzes more effective for knowledge retention, or do branching scenarios better engage your learners? Have you discovered any unique approaches that delivered great results?

Also, I'd appreciate recommendations for tools and platforms you use to create interactive content. Always looking to expand my toolkit!

I’m looking to pivot in my career and wondering what roles I may be qualified for. My bachelors is in Speech Pathology and my Masters is in Applied Behavior Analysis. I have 1 year of leadership and management experience. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I understand that the WiFi standard chosen is very much dependent on what type of devices students are using and what the schools device refresh cycle is. I’m curious to get opinions on what people are typically seeing when it comes to picking a WiFi standard in K12 Education.

Typically, schools aren’t purchasing the high end devices that have these new radios. Does it really make sense to upgrade wireless to WiFi 6E or even WiFi 7 at this time? In my opinion, you shouldn’t have to upgrade your wireless infrastructure for 5-7 years.

Thoughts?

Thank You!

As the title suggests, I’m curious as to what this community thinks in terms of good advice (or even advice to stay away from) with edtech and school technology.

Our district is looking at SchoolMint as an enrollment or online registration solution. To those who use it, what are your pros and cons of SchoolMint? Bonus if you use it with PowerSchool.

We currently use PowerSchool Enrollment aka Infosnap and are looking for a better solution for multiple reasons.

Any feedback is welcome!

Hi everyone,

I’m a student currently working on a project for my Opportunity Recognition and Business Model Development course. Our team has come up with a social entrepreneurship idea: a Skill Sharing Platform where people can exchange skills and knowledge for free!

Here’s the concept:

You offer what you know (e.g., photography) and, in return, learn something you’re curious about (e.g., programming). It’s all about creating a direct value exchange between users, making learning accessible and empowering for everyone.

Think of it as Tinder for skill sharing—you’ll be matched with people based on the skills you want to learn and those you can teach.

We’d love your feedback and input! Does this idea resonate with you? Would you be interested in participating in such a platform?

Looking forward to your thoughts and ideas.

Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for academic literature or studies focused on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED), particularly ones that explore its implementation and teacher acceptance. I’m especially interested in research grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) but would also appreciate recommendations on studies discussing practical implementation or teacher perspectives.

Hi,

I’m here to share my recent frustrating experience with Course Hero, where I have worked as a contributor for over 10 years. My account was abruptly terminated, citing “repeated violations” of their Terms of Use. However, this claim is inaccurate. In the past 5 years, I’ve only had one minor issue (an incomplete answer flagged in June 2024), and the last issue before that was in 2019—clearly not a pattern of repeated violations.

The content they flagged this time was a statistical question I authored to help students. It was my original work, created with the goal of fostering learning. Despite submitting a formal appeal explaining my situation, I haven’t received any response. What’s worse, my account balance of around $300 remains locked, and I can’t withdraw my earnings.

After some online research, I’ve discovered that many other contributors have faced similar issues, with some waiting months for a response—or never hearing back at all. It seems Course Hero may block emails associated with terminated accounts, further preventing communication and resolution.

I’m posting this here to expose Course Hero’s unfair practices and to ask:

Have any of you experienced something similar with Course Hero or another platform?

What steps would you recommend to resolve this?

This situation has severely impacted my livelihood, and I feel it’s important to spread awareness about how contributors are treated. Thank you for reading, and any advice or support would mean a lot!

If you’d like to help, please PM me, and I’ll share my contact details

This article is generating a lot of buzz amongst the higher ups in my school: https://www.afterbabel.com/p/false-promise-of-device-based-ed

What are you thoughts on the points that it raises?

As a designer selling courses, I was blown away by how bad current LMS platforms are. Seriously, even top solutions feel stuck in 2010 — endless forms and clicks just to publish basic content. IDK about you, but educational software seems way behind in UX compared to modern tech tools. With my dev friends, we built as a side-project a platform for hosting courses, guides, and educational content. No endless forms or complex setups. Just easy sharing of knowledge.

Curious: does anyone here know how universities/colleges pick new learning tools? Who makes these decisions?

For context: several teachers are already using our platform, some making $20k+/month. Would love to make it work for educational institutions too.
