In the 21st century, automation is found in almost every industry. So we should not be surprised that it has also crept into education, which is now strongly reaping the benefits of technology.And with the growing popularity of eLearning, newer and newer educational technologies are emerging, and they greatly enhance the learning process. That's why we're going to discuss automation in online education in today's blog post.Stay tuned! <h2>The rise of automation and its impact on different industries { The rise of automation }</h2>The impact of automation on the online education and learning industry has been increasingly talked about for some time. The topic has been even more popular since the pandemic when the public was forced to learn remotely, and demand for eLearning platforms increased.&nbsp;And it will still go strong, as <a href="https://explodingtopics.com/blog/elearning-statistics" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">73% </a>of US students wish to continue taking online classes after the pandemic.⭐ Moreover, <a href="https://imaginovation.net/blog/business-automation-statistics/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">97%</a> of organizations see business process automation as crucial to digital transformation. Automation can greatly benefit operations at more than a few companies.&nbsp;👉 For example, <a href="https://startupbonsai.com/elearning-statistics/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">90%</a> of corporate businesses that offer eLearning opportunities to employees can improve course effectiveness while saving time and resources.&nbsp;👉 In addition to eLearning, automation is also advancing rapidly in the automotive industry. For example, metal pieces of vehicles can be welded together by large robots in factories. What’s more, some automotive producers create precise parts using 3D printers or robots that communicate with each other.👉 Automation is great for human resource management as well. The use of remote work and automation of work processes have increased among business leaders by more than <a href="https://imaginovation.net/blog/business-automation-statistics/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">80%</a>. In addition, according to Gartner, by 2024, <a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2020-01-23-gartner-predicts-69--of-routine-work-currently-done-b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">69%</a> of managerial tasks will be automated. This is made possible thanks to automation <a href="https://monday.com/use-cases/hr-management-software" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">software for managing employees</a>.👉 Yet another area where automation plays the first fiddle is the delivery industry. Using technology and machines, you can sort items and merchandise and label them to indicate where they belong. Furthermore, vehicles or drones can transport items from one location to another without requiring an individual to deliver them.👉 Also, the IT industry successfully benefit from automated technology (as, for example, <a href="https://www.ecmsp.co.uk/about-us.php" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">EC-MSP</a> company). Automated software testing and machine learning algorithms are just a few of the applications that are transforming this field.👉 We should also mention the healthcare industry, where technology is mostly concerned with automating electronic health records, which store patient information and help diagnose patients. But operating rooms, too, are outfitted with equipment that can do the impossible for humans.So, as you can see, automation is the future of learning. <h2>What is eLearning automation? { What is eLearning automation? }</h2>Now let's get back to the basics. What does eLearning automation actually mean?&nbsp;Long story short: eLearning automation includes a set of tools and algorithms that, when combined with artificial intelligence, allow educators to create great courses, training programs, online lessons, etc. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1670946335/elearning_automation_the_future_of_learning_is_here_Certifier_blog_benefits_of_elearning_automation_ee4189e440.png" alt="eLearning automation areas and benefits that are changing the future of education.">The use of technology and algorithms can make major shifts in traditional education, for example, automating a variety of processes within general eLearning processes as well as within a single learning management system. Through their assistance, various functions have been implemented that control certain parts of the training system, allowing teachers to create new and better learning paths.&nbsp;It is, therefore, possible for future generations to rely solely on computer-based learning.Thanks to eLearning, you can introduce digital learning, personalize learning content and hold lessons outside the classroom walls. In addition, you can increase your efficiency by automating this area. Achieving better learning delivery and the quality of your course while reducing resources and time spent on it is at your fingertips. <h2>Benefits of eLearning automation { Benefits of eLearning automation }</h2>Speaking of eLearning automation, many benefits can be found. Let’s take a closer look at them.<h3>#1 Improves access to course materials</h3>With the right technology and collaboration with various education partners, more and more valuable courses are being created that can be taken regardless of various barriers, including location barriers. So you can live in the United States and take a course that is conducted in Spain.&nbsp;In other words, you have access to events that were previously beyond your reach; a language course, a high-level multi-stakeholder event, an event run by international organizations, the private sector, and others. <h3>#2 Engages learners in the process</h3>But eLearning automation also helps to engage recipients in the active learning process. For example, <a href="https://startupbonsai.com/elearning-statistics/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">81% of students</a> say eLearning tools have improved their grades, and that’s a big accomplishment.&nbsp;With eLearning automation, lessons taught online can be more interactive, engaging, and interesting. They can also be fully recorded and provide evergreen learning content for the brand.Academic learning is often associated with boring topics, lack of creativity, or mandatory homework. But by providing digital learning, you can increase the appeal of your materials and engage students more successfully; you can take advantage of quizzes, implement polls and surveys, or split the group into small teams to share ideas.Such an active learning approach can therefore increase students learning satisfaction and provide you with a steady income.📚 Learn more here: <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/online-test-certificates-a-guide-for-teachers-free-templates" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Online Test Certificates – A Guide for Teachers [+ Free Templates]</a> <h3>#3 Boosts administrative efficiency</h3>Automation in eLearning unleashes not only the potential of technology but also takes an excessive amount of administrative tasks off the shoulders of your employees. Since some of the duties are done without involving employees, it means you have more time for course development and fewer resources.There is a large portion of the work is done by algorithms on behalf of humans. So you don't have to spend countless hours delivering a top-notch experience. Technology will do it for you 🤖.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1670946335/elearning_automation_the_future_of_learning_is_here_Certifier_blog_boosting_adiministrative_efficiency_96cd25d2e0.png" alt="The graphic showing the effectiveness of eLearning automation.">By boosting administrative efficiency, automation can boost the efficiency of the whole company, classroom leaders, education administrators, and asynchronous learning itself.Therefore, eLearning automation is not only the future of learning but also of organizations. <h3>#4 Adapts to individual needs</h3>You can, for example, deliver specific eLearning materials to online learners based on their assessment results and adjust the learning level. After a learner has completed one or more chunks of learning, they will automatically be moved to a new level that is more appropriate to their abilities.It is also possible to prepare a test and specify a scoring – then the system will verify the results and assign grades on its own.Other examples of adapting to students' specific needs include giving them access to digital materials whenever they want.&nbsp;However, the main point is that eLearning professionals can set different criteria, and the technology will work according to them and deliver high-quality courses. <h3>#5 Allows for rapid feedback and grading</h3>In relation to the above, eLearning automation allows you to quickly get feedback and evaluate students' performance.

With solutions designed to engage and validate learners, it has created a niche for itself. Among its capabilities are:<ul><li>Digital badge customization options with template library</li><li>Analytics dashboard to track the level of engagement</li><li>Portable micro badges with verification link</li></ul>With such a set of features, it seems to be a strong player in the digital badge space. But it’s not without limitations. The more you use it, the more flaws you see.<h3>CertifyMe pricing</h3>Here's where it gets a bit tricky. The website says you can start with 50 free credentials, but it doesn't really mention how much it'll cost you after that. For many users (especially those on a budget) this could be a significant drawback. You don't know what you're getting into until you've already invested time in the platform.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1695389015/top_Certify_Me_alternatives_Certifier_blog_Certify_Me_user_reviews_5b777767ec.png" alt="CertifyMe user review.">User review source: <a href="https://www.g2.com/products/certifyme/reviews/certifyme-review-7974183" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">g2.com</a><h3>Why CertifyMe might not be the best digital credentialing platform?</h3>CertifyMe provides a detailed dashboard with analytics and customization features – although impressive, it might be overwhelming for those seeking a more straightforward user experience. Well, if you’re looking for a simple, intuitive interface, you might not find it in CertifyMe.There is one more thing. It’s the solution focused on the education sector, and business factor (such as, e.g. branding) takes a back seat. It's been seen. Before signing up, you can't even see any badge or certificate templates, so you don't know whether you'll like their design.In summary, CertifyMe has a lot to offer, but it's not for everyone. The secret pricing plans and the focus on specific industries might make you want to look elsewhere.So, if you're in the market for a digital badge platform, why not check out some other options that might be a better match for what you need?<h2>Compare all CertifyMe alternatives: comparison table { Comparison table }</h2>Not enough time?
