The EdTech Book has taken the approach to crowd-source the knowledge of the best subject matter experts on the topic of how education will include technology With over 50 contributors, we are covering trends around the world, in specific sectors and age groups.Whilst many industries have been digitised, the education sector has been woefully dragging behind. The COVID-18 pandemic has exposed gaps in the global education industry. Stakeholders started to look at Educational Technology (EdTech) solutions to help their students move from the classroom to online.Like most changes, people need to educate themselves on the consequences of it and the new tools available to them to perform best. This is precisely what the EdTech Book offers to the reader, awareness of the best practises in edtech from real practitioners, decision makers and founders.EdTech is not just about shifting off-line education to on-line. In reality, EdTech is what education is becoming - it will transform the future of how education is taught, perceived, resourced and consumed.Today, EdTech is one of the fastest growing markets globally. Driven by the fourth industrial revolution, global spending on education is widely expected to rise from over USD Stn last year to close to over USD7th by 2025. And, within this market, EdTech is booming.That's why we created this book. As a reference point, The EdTech book takes a look at all that encompasses the industry. From the history of EdTech to the implementation of governmental regulation, to the future of EdTech in classrooms- the authors in this book share a story of EdTech, whether that is its past, present orfuture.

Hong Leong Bank is the second largest bank in Malaysia with 329 branches and 4500 sales staff offering various financial services to its consumer banking clientele. It started business in 1905 and is continually expanding into the region recently branching out into China and Vietnam.My immediate task after joining the bank was to increase the brand presence of its Credit Card usage & loyalty among its card base among its newly acquired 1.9 million members consequent upon its recent acquisition of another local bank. This was achieved through the setting up of a new team tasked to broker new and exciting merchant deals with local retailers, shopping centres and restaurants to ensure there was a blanket presence for special deals and discounts whenever our card members walked into the merchant's premises thereby solidifying our brand presence.The secondary task was to engage all 4500 of our sales staff to ensure there was updated information relating to the merchant offers available. To motivate the team to sell credit cards and personal loans, we introduced various internal sales competitions to punctuate the financial year working its way to a grand prize of a fully paid trip for the top two sales staff from each of the 13 sales regions throughout Malaysia. Internal training, data analytics feedback and new channel strategies were conducted to motivate as well as educate the staff to sell.Interactive engagement channels like Personal Loans and You (PLAY) were also developed to encourage direct communication lines between the massive sales staff with product managers to reduce communication errors and increase the internal brand visibility of the products in addition to branch and regional visitations to reduce the power distance with local branch managers and developing better relationship with head office.
