The education industry is one of the most adaptable and enduring industries in the world. This has been the case for the longest time and it will continue to be the case for the foreseeable future (if not forever). Arguably more than any other industry, the education industry has been a testament of the stability and reliance that comes into play when an industry not only says it will perform, but does the work to perform. Above all else, the education industry has continuously and exceptionally performed time and again.

Today, the education industry is adapting more than ever, proving time and again that this is an industry that is willing and able to not only work with what has worked so well in the past, but to branch out and figure out what is going to be possible heading into the future. Whether a student wants to build a career by starting their own dental clinic or working as an author (to name two examples among the many that are out there), the point is always that there is more possibility to do this than there has ever been – and a lot of that possibility comes from technological advancement and enhancement in the education industry.

The introduction and ongoing advancement of EdTech 

When technological advancement first started to influence the education industry, it became exceedingly obvious that this was the way that the world is moving. Practically every field of education has been impacted by the rise of education technology. After all, modern students respond best to modern approaches to education – so, naturally, the rise of online education makes more sense than it ever has. Take the influence of EdTech (education technology) in the field of oral health (and more specifically, in the field of oral health education).

The influence of online education on oral health education

The influence of online education on the oral health education field has been, to say the least, exceptional. Not only can oral health students finally achieve success in their studies through online learning, but they can do so with the most readily accessible content and materials – not to mention the most relevant, up-to-date content and materials. More than ever, the influence of online education and other EdTech principles on oral health education is making a decidedly positive impact across the board and around the globe.

What we can expect going forward into the future

More than ever, EdTech interest and investments are becoming more important and more pronounced. What we can expect from EdTech and its influence on the oral health industry (and every industry, for that matter), is more of the same, and then some. There is a whole lot more where all this came from, and it is an incredibly exciting time for the rise of EdTech and everything that is going to come with it. The future of education – and oral health as an industry – has never looked brighter and that is something to be excited about.
