Educational apps have brought revolution in education industry, especially during the testing times of COVID-19 lockdown, wherein students can attend classrooms virtually through these applications and communicate with their teachers, learn through interactive games and quizzes and also do the required homework and submit it online with the help of in-built features of these apps. The lives of both teachers and students have been simplified to a huge extent with these ed-tech apps.
Although a lot of schools and universities have shown interest in developing their own applications to bridge the gap between the teachers and students and to reduce any kind of impact on studies, but there are a lot of startups as well who are investing a handsome amount in development of ed-tech apps. If we go by the predictions, the amount that is expected to be invested in educational applications will reach around $38 billion by the end of 2020.
Now that the global popularity and demand of ed-tech apps is quite clear, let’s discuss some significant and money-making ideas for such startps and enterprises.
-
Application for Handicapped Pupils
It is not an easy task for handicapped kids to move out to other places for their studies. If an app is developed focussing on their requirements, it will give a boost to their comfortable learning along with providing revenue-generating platform for the investors. An app, specifically designed for handicapped kids, will help them to attend online live classes and provide real-time interaction with the teachers.
-
Application for Examination Days
The burden of studies is never easy to handle for the students, especially during the examination days. To reduce the stress and compile all the scattered material and things at one place, this application can provide the students a platform wherein they can manage all their courses and chapters collectively thus making the reading and revision easier and more efficient.
A different section within the app can enable the student to make a to-do list in order to bifurcate the most important or difficult topics so that they do not miss revising them at the last moment. Live chat and video calling support can further help the students to connect with their teachers in real-time.
-
School Bus App
This is another unique and important idea, which can enable the school authorities and the parents to track the school bus at every time. Not just the live location of the bus but also the speed of bus can be monitored by the parents and the school administrators. Furthermore, an in-built feature can allow the parents to set reminders or alarms for pick-up and drop timings of their children and can also receive notifications while the bus is arriving or is nearby.
-
Personal Tutor Application
This idea is already in trend in the global market of education sector but still needs a lot of advancement and production because of growing number of people using such apps. An on-demand tutor application enables the parents or students to hire teachers according to their requirement and according to the subjects that student needs more attention in.
A list of tutors is available within the app along with their profiles and charges. A tutor can be contacted directly and the classes can be attended either as online lessons or as face-to-face personal classes as per the convenience of the students.
-
Student Performance Monitoring Application
This idea is specifically curated for the universities, colleges and parents. The educational institutions can develop a student performance monitoring app for the parents through which parents can track the attendance, performance and overall record of their children studying in that institution.
Accordingly, the parents can then connect with the teachers of their wards to discuss what more is required for improvement in performance or to pay the fee online and also to keep themselves updates about the examination and lecture timings.

Ed-Tech App for Kids with Autism
It is considerably important to take an initiative for the specially-abled children in our society and autism-affected kids are one of them. Special learning apps or educational apps can be designed and developed for children with Autism, providing them assistance with communication, playing, learning new skills and other daily living skills. This app idea is not just helpful for the children but also for the parents who are generally unaware how to handle such situations. This app can provide them more information and guidance to treat such children in the best possible manner.
-
App for Questions and Answers
An application for general questions and answers can be developed enabling the students to post questions related to any subject or chapter or lesson which can then be answered by teachers related to those specific questions. This idea applies to all age-groups of students and to teachers of all subjects as well throughout the world. The app resembles the idea of quite famous “Quora” but this one would be confined to education related questions only.
Conclusion:
All in all, these 7 ed-tech ideas will prove to be fruitful for all involved parties such as investors, universities, schools, parents, teachers and students of course. So, if you believe you can work on any of them and would like to have an application developed for the same, contact us at info@omninos.com and we would be glad to assist you in developing the best-in-class educational application.
