How has the current pandemic affected how you operate / what have you had to change? What lessons did you learn?  
 
One thing has become clear over the past year: work has changed for most businesses, forever. Businesses and professionals have been tested and forced to adapt to stay relevant, and to survive challenging conditions. Remote working has become an essential aspect of any business model for both, businesses and educational institutions. As challenging as it has been, businesses have also experienced the benefits of operating remotely.  We’ve learned that we can live and work from anywhere and still maintain efficiency.  

This pandemic has not affected how we operate as a company. Lessons For Life International was one of the very early adopters of remote working since 2007.  When started our journey, our goal was to provide the best global educational software products – so we’ve set our sites on global talent from the outset. Tracking down the best talent from around the globe was challenging. These professionals include educational researchers, academics, teachers, content writers, translators, programmers, editors, voice overs, animators, testers, and many more. We have always thought outside of the box, to empower our employees to work strategically and efficiently to produce content of the highest standard. We have been successfully operating remotely since the beginning, and continue to produce the best English language software to assist students, schools, and businesses around the world to learn English. 
 
This pandemic solidified our beliefs and principles … that embracing technology and setting a vision for the future allows us to prosper and serve our clients more effectively.  

What do you think the top Edtech trends do you see emerging this year 
 
DISTANCE LEARNING is the biggest trend emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic.  Distance learning will stay with us. Students now have to get used to distance learning via digital platforms. There will be a strong focus on connectivity, versatility, and student-centered learning going forward.  
 
Strong and reliable Internet connectivity around the world still poses challenges for many learners. There’s a demand for digital download products to enable students to have a copy of the program on their own device allowing for offline use any time, anywhere. 
 
Customizable learning products will be in demand in the new environment of distance learning. Students are no longer passive learners, they are able to choose what they need to learn as well as when and where they do so. Customizable learning products and platforms put the student at the center of their learning will be the future of education.   

IMMERSIVE LEARNING using Virtual and Augmented reality (VR/AR) makes education more engaging, and exciting, by changing the role of the student.  The student turns from passive observer to an active participant who can interact within the immersive learning environment.  
 
GAMIFICATION keeps students actively engaged in the learning process, by making it exciting. Some students struggle with traditional study methods, whereas playing a game is easy and interesting and can access learners in a new way. Gamification is not a game pattern only, but a new set of exciting tools that allow the education process to be more diverse, entertaining, and motivating.
