Madrid, November 15, 2023 – Digital transformation is one of the keys for the education system to take a step forward towards the learning of the future. This is stated in the European Commission’s (EC) Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027, an initiative that seeks to promote “high quality, inclusive and accessible digital education in Europe” and that “aims to support the adaptation of Member States’ education and training systems to the digital age”.
Edtech is an ideal partner for educational institutions to advance in their digital objectives, since it provides teachers, students and families with technological tools and resources that, in addition to facilitating access to a greater range of educational content, encourage a better understanding and assimilation of new information.
With the aim of making digital transformation a reality for a growing number of schools, ‘SIMO Education 2023’, the International Exhibition of Technology and Educational Innovation held between 14 and 16 November at IFEMA, has been attended by several experts who have shared about the value offered by edtech in achieving the digital purposes of schools, colleges, vocational training center, and universities.
Among the firms participating in the congress was ODILO, the Spanish edtech company that allows all types of organizations and institutions to create their own Unlimited Learning Ecosystem. It has had a space in which some of the leading voices in the sector have participated to expose the benefits offered to the educational system by the implementation of the latest advances in AI, machine learning, virtual and augmented reality, as well as smart devices.
Among these personalities was Luis Domingo González Núñez, general director of Innovation and Teacher Training of the Junta de Castilla y León, who presented the specific benefits offered by the implementation of ODILO learning ecosystems, the Spanish edtech solution for a more personalized education, sharing some of the main results of its application in the community of Castile and Leon.
“ODILO, with its personalized ecosystem Digital School Library for Castilla y León, LEOCYL, helps to improve the communicative and digital competence of our educational community with a bank of digital resources of great pedagogical quality and linked to the best safeguard for the future success of any young person such as reading,” said the representative of the Junta de Castilla y León.
The event was also attended by David Álvarez Jiménez, CEO of Conecta13, and Fernando Trujillo Sáez, professor at the University of Granada and scientific-pedagogical advisor of Conecta13, who commented on the need for schools to address the challenge of digital transformation as a lever to move towards an education of the future.
According to David Álvarez: “digital transformation is not a proposal for the future. It is a reality that, to a greater or lesser extent, is experienced in all educational centers. Incorporating the latest technological and digital innovations allows students to have a more personalized learning, while enabling them to have a more effective development of digital skills that will be essential in the jobs of the future”.
Fernando Trujillo said: “Technology will play a fundamental role in the education of the next generations. Above all, artificial intelligence, an innovation that opens the door to personalized learning for each student and tailored to the needs, motivations and abilities of each one. It is an innovative way of understanding education that breaks down the gaps between students and fosters their motivation by improving retention and understanding of content, making them more autonomous and more satisfied and self-confident”.
In addition, Ainhoa Marcos, Global Director of K-12 Sales at ODILO, took advantage of her presence at the event to comment that: “we firmly believe that technology and digital transformation are the engine that drives personalized learning and academic excellence, empowering our students to face the challenges of the future and providing them with endless opportunities to learn, grow and succeed in an increasingly digital world”.
