Education Ecosystem Releases the Most In-Demand Technology
Skills of H2 2020
Education Ecosystem (LEDU), a leader in online project-based
learning, identified the most sought-after technology skills of the
second half (H2) of 2020. The results are based on the Education
Ecosystem's network traffic and projects requested and viewed.
Overall, LEDU analyzed data from more than 2 million viewers from 1
July to 31 December 2020.
Education Ecosystem offers project-based learning in six
categories: artificial intelligence, blockchain , cybersecurity,
data science, game development, and programming.
Programming was the most in-demand technological skill. About
21% of the viewers specifically showed interest in programming with
Python commanding the lion's share. About 60% of the viewers
interested in Python wanted to learn a new language in preparation
for a career change, while 22% were planning to switch to Data
Science. In essence, Python was used as a bridging skill.
Data Science and Artificial Learning, specifically Machine
Learning, trailed closely behind Python as about 18% of the
platform viewers were interested in each of those areas.
Interest in blockchain was largely steady in the third quarter
and increased in Q4. The surge peaked in November and December as
the year drew to a close. Of the 16% of viewers that leaned towards
blockchain, nearly half of them had a strong background in
programming or artificial intelligence.
About 14% of the viewers were interested in cybersecurity. The
surging interest in cybersecurity peaked in early H2 up until the
end of the year mainly due to an increase in the number of people
working or studying from home. The remaining 13% of the viewers
were interested in game development. About 40% of the viewers
interested in game development also viewed project-based learning
content in blockchain development. Viewers studied the creation of
non-fungible tokens (NFTs) , Ethereum ERC20-based tokens such as
LEDU tokens, and the development of decentralized apps (Dapps). The
ERC20-based tokens sparked the desire by developers to create new
tokens that address several challenges. For its part, LEDU tokens
provide a concrete incentivization mechanism in the project-based
learning sector.
In conclusion, the observed trends reflect a growing number of
young and professional developers making career changes as they
want to improve in their marketability in an increasingly
competitive labor market.
