An End-to-End Solution for Education Technology 2 | Educators have different motivations when it comes to their purchasing decisions. Their primary concern is naturally delivering on their teaching and learning goals. They are also acutely aware of the fact that every penny that is spent on technology is a penny that can’t be spent on other valuable resources. As such they look for certain properties in the technologies they select for the classroom. First and foremost IT must be efficient from a learning perspective. Moreover technology must make the lives of these teachers easier and facilitate their classroom objectives through providing new platforms and mediums for learning, as well as making access to resources easier. It is often said that standing still is a great way of moving backwards. This is especially true in the education channel which faces a rapidly changing landscape: School governors talk of a catastrophic squeeze on budgets, the national audit office forecasts a £3bn annual shortfall in education funding by 2020, yet annual spending is at record levels with the dedicated schools grant sitting at £40bn per year. The new funding formula delivers financial winners and losers but whichever category an educational establishment may find itself in, the same priorities apply: deliver the curriculum, enhance the learning experience, drive results, comply with regulation, perform well in inspection, improve student acquisition… and deliver more for less. Technical innovation in schools and classrooms is the only way to meet these demands. Of course, Exertis is used to change.
