The COVID-19 pandemic marked a paradigm shift in education, as it catalyzed the use of technology to overcome challenges in traditional teaching methods. This paper explores emerging trends in educational technology, focusing on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), Learning Management Systems (LMS), and their integration into blended and hybrid learning models. AI-based learning tools have revolutionized education through customized learning, auto-assessment, and real-time data analytics that help refine the teaching strategies. VR has provided immersive learning; students are exposed to interactive simulations of complex ideas, making learning more efficient and productive. Learning management systems have been at the forefront of online learning as they manage all content, facilitate communication, and provide an opportunity for assessment. Such progressions have allowed a smooth shift toward blended learning: a mixture of face-to-face and digital instructions. Success with Ed-Tech in post-pandemic learning indicates a likelihood of access, engagement, and better outcomes in diverse populations. The National Education Policy 2020 is the backbone in integrating technology in education, digital infrastructure, and skill development through learner-centric approaches. AI tools, VR, and LMS solutions have therefore bridged the gaps in education, making it more inclusive, equitable, and relevant to current needs by aligning with NEP 2020. This paper points out how these innovations address post-pandemic challenges and transform education, preparing students for a technology-driven future in alignment with policy objectives and global trends.
