A recent report by Global Online Education Market estimated that by 2025, the online education market’s value would grow to more than $319 billion by 2025. For some context, the market’s worth was pegged at around $188 billion in 2019. So, even if you have somehow managed to miss the market’s growing penchant for digital learning, that fact alone is a tangible demonstration of the market’s potential. While the digital learning ecosystem had been in the spotlight for a few years now, the coronavirus crisis truly catapulted it into the spotlight. And, it became the only means of ensuring continuity of education for millions of students worldwide. E-learning apps took off as well, not only because of the need for continuity in the education process but also because more and more people are now looking to up-skill online.

It is clear to see that any education app is worth the investment right now. But before you put all your money into it, it is imperative to understand that none of it would matter unless the software offers what your audience is looking for. So, such apps must offer must-have features like registration across all user categories, multiple payment options, the ability to book a class, invite a friend, assessment forms, chat, etc. Then there’s also the cost to be considered — it is somewhat subjective. It will depend on three key factors: Platform, features, and current software development rates.

Now, allow us to give you a quick overview of how one can go about developing an education app if you so choose.

  1. Technology stack: The technology you use can make or break your app, so choose your technology stack carefully and strategically. Some expert recommendations for custom solutions include Swift, Kotlin, React, Java, etc. Also note, an expert’s guidance is necessary here.
  2. Understand the target audience’s needs: When you set out to offer something to sell, it won’t work unless it is what the customers need. The same principle holds for education apps as well. So, be sure to determine your target audience, their unique requirements, etc. First, establish a strategy to fulfill these requirements effectively.
  3. Choose a format: There are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to your educational software format. Do you want to offer live classes or pre-recorded lectures where students can study when they want? These factors will shape your app development strategy. Besides that, it will also help you understand how to integrate tools such as tests, quizzes, assessments, etc. to ensure high effectiveness levels.

It is clear as day to see that the world of online education and an app or software aimed at this sector offers immense potential at the moment. However, to reap the rewards, a robust, strategically-developed app is an absolute must. So, get in touch with a trusted education software development company right away and get started on building one for your business right away.
