New Trends in Language and Social Learning 2022

April 5, 2022 By

The way we communicate is changing faster than the speed of sound, it seems, especially with the globalization of commerce and international social media platforms that favor people who speak more than one language. The way we learn languages is also evolving rapidly, with the graphically-rich virtual space of the metaverse creating a comfortable and effective learning environment.

The demand for online learning has never been stronger, especially when it comes to learning a language online. In fact, global online language learning market size and share revenue was worth $14.2 billion in 2021, and many expect it to exceed $28.5 billion by 2028. As demand and usage grows this year, certain trends will undoubtedly emerge.

Trends in Language & Social Learning during 2022

Artificial intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) research and development continued at a blistering pace during the pandemic. AI molds the learning experience to the user, allowing learners to work at their own pace and in their own way. AI-powered platforms repeat topics and emphasize areas that are challenging to the user, appeals to their interests, engages them with tasks they are good at, and even adapts to the cultural background of the user.

AI and immersive technologies, such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR) and Extended Reality (XR), will continue to be strong performers in 2022. AR adds to intriguing images and graphics to existing educational content, while VR bridges the gap between theory and real-world applications.

Bite-sized training

Getting too much information all at once can be mind-numbing experience. What’s more, people are busier than ever and simply do not have hours to spend each week learning a language. In fact, employees devote a mere 24 minutes to learning each week. Microlearning breaks down content into bite-sized pieces that take only 5 to 10 minutes to complete.

Mobile delivery

There are currently 6.648 billion smartphones in the world today, which means about 83.72 percent of the global population owns a smartphone. Clearly, mobility is an essential part of daily life. What’s more, smartphones are capable of doing much more than placing calls and sending texts – many of today’s smartphones rival the smartest laptops or tablets. In 2022, an increasing number of people are likely to use their smartphones to learn a language. 

Social language learning apps

The best way to learn a new language is to chat with real people around the world who speak the language every day, of course, but traveling to foreign lands simply to pick up a language is expensive and time-consuming. Social language learning apps allow users to enjoy all the benefits of immersion-based learning without ever leaving the comfort of their own home.

HeyPal™ will likely be a trend-setter for social language learning apps in 2022. As one of the fastest growing language learning apps, exceeding a million downloads in just months after its release, HeyPal is fun to use and easy to understand. This nifty app uses suggestive messaging that allow users to spark conversations and kickstart friendships with one single tap, which ultimately accelerates learning. The messaging system allows users to write direct message prompts for one-click sending, record a voice note and send the answer to a prompt, or even record a video to send. Algorithms allow users to build their social profiles to increase global followers, upload fun and engaging videos as a form of communication, and even communicate with native speakers in real-time or post on boards specific to different languages.

Premium memberships

People want more from their language and social learning apps, and are willing to purchase premium memberships to unlock the potential of their apps.

HeyPal™ offers a Premium Membership plan that makes it easier than ever to learn a new language through social learning. Their Premium Membership includes unlimited chats, translations, language feeds, influencer feeds and features, and group chats. It also provides access to the new PenPal matching feature, in which an advanced algorithm matches up HeyPal users with new users to help them learn and practice their language of choice. It also includes Suggestive Messaging, a predictive text feature, which allows learners to kick start conversations with a single tap.

The demand for online learning will continue to grow through 2022. Many of today’s trends will influence the growth and development of online language learning throughout the next century.

The Future of E-Learning

December 20, 2021 By

E- Learning – What does the Future Hold

While it has been around for years, e-learning came into its own during the pandemic, when COVID made it too dangerous for teachers and students to gather in traditional classrooms. Many people wonder what place e-learning will have in education in the years to come.

E-learning, also known as eLearning, is an umbrella term for any type of learning activity that uses electronics to enhance the learning environment. A number of technologies fall under the e-learning canopy; these technologies include interactive whiteboards, online classes, and audio and video conferencing.

The pandemic forever shaped e-learning. Many students (and their teachers and parents) had never even heard of e-learning before 2020, but are now proficient at using electronic devices to optimize the education experience. In a recent survey, in fact, 73 percent of higher education students said they would prefer to take at least some of their courses fully online following the pandemic. But what might that learning experience look like?

What E-learning Might Look Like in the Future

Students may someday “plug into” an electronic device to learn a skill, somewhat like in The Matrix, when Neo straps on an assortment of electrodes that allow him to download a martial arts training program directly into his brain. He awakens and delivers the now-famous line, “I know Kung Fu.”

Tomorrow’s students may learn using an advanced form of fMRI, for example, an imaging technology that allows researchers to see which portions of the brain are active during various tasks. Conceivably, one could someday use an fMRI to record and upload the brain activity of an expert performing a specific task; a student could then download that activity to their brain and instantly understand how to perform that task.

Admittedly, we are quite a long way from having the ability to download knowledge, but researchers are already investigating the potential for fMRI in education. Until then, e-learning will likely augment traditional methods of education.

Heavy on adaptive learning

Every student learns in their own unique way, so tomorrow’s learning platforms will adapt themselves to the learner. Complex algorithms and assessments help guide the tailor-made coursework, rather than relying on the determination of teachers who may have subconscious biases about the capabilities of students.

A more social approach to learning

Mention e-learning and the image that often comes to mind is of a lone student staring at the computer in solitude, but tomorrow’s e-learning will involve plenty of social interaction and collaboration in the form of online forums, file-sharing platforms, and classroom-wide chatrooms. As social learning applications grow and develop, they will likely become the backbone of tomorrow’s classroom.

Exciting for visual learners

People learn in different ways. Some are audio learners that gain most of their information by listening, while others are kinesthetic learners who benefit from hands-on experiences. Many video learners, which means they gain most of their information through visual experiences. Traditional learning benefits audio learners, who excel in the standard lecture/note taking format of today’s classroom. E-learning provides a heavy helping of video-based lectures, instructional videos, and advanced graphics and more.

Personalized

Artificial intelligence (AI), once regarded as the sinister driving force behind HAL 9000 and the Y2K conspiracy theories, is now emerging as an important tool in e-learning. AI can drive adaptive learning, guide students through courses depending on the students’ past learning behaviors, predict and address challenges individual students may face long before the learner falls behind, and even provide on-the-fly course modification and personalization.

Easier to digest

Large, multi-phase learning projects can be mind-numbing, even for the most agile of learners. Breaking lengthy lessons into smaller bits can make it easier to absorb and retain information. Microlearning chops up larger lessons into shorter segments.

More fun and engaging

Learning is always easier when it is fun. Gamification is the art of making learning seem more like a game. Tomorrow’s advanced graphic capabilities, along with ultra-high-speed internet, will combine fast-paced action with advanced learning methods in ways that encourages students to learn, practice, and apply what they have learned to other lessons.

Learning from anywhere with mobile learning

The computers of the late 20th century were woefully inadequate when it came to learning – slow internet speeds, lack of memory, and boring graphics impeded learning. Today, we have a wider variety of electronic devices that range from lightning-fast desktop computers to super slim laptops and even smart phones. Undoubtedly, tomorrow’s students will have an even wider array of devices to use for mobile learning.

Immersion learning with virtual and augmented reality

Blackboards and books are yesterday’s news! Tomorrow’s learners will fully immerse themselves into every subject. Imagine talking to historical figures in a virtual reality setting rather than just reading about them!

In just a few short years, e-learning will likely be quite different from what it is today. Whether it will completely replace classroom learning remains to be seen, but it seems increasingly likely. Once seen as futuristic, e-learning is here to stay.

ClickStream CEO Frank Magliochetti Talks about Disrupting Conventional Industries Through Apps

December 14, 2021 By

ClickStream CEO Talks Disruption Through Apps

CLICKSTREAM CEO FRANK MAGLIOCHETTI TALKS DISRUPTING CONVENTIONAL INDUSTRIES THROUGH APPS, EXPLODING NFT TECH, AND WHY CLIS IS A SMART INVESTMENT TODAY

In an incredibly thorough and and candid interview Hazel Saunders of the Ritz Herald talks with Frank M<agliochetti about all things ClickStream!

Here is the Interview: for the original source please head to The Ritz Herald.

There are no businesses with greater potential today than those positioned to dominate booming digital economies. One company that knows that more than anyone is ClickStream, a rapidly expanding business that is on a mission to disrupt conventional industries by way of game-changing mobile apps. ClickStream is traded on the stock market as CLIS.

These app subsidiaries span a multitude of industries: from gaming and language learning to investing early on tech which facilitates the exploding NFT industry. But though the genre they cover vary, all have one thing in common: each is revolutionizing its field with trailblazing tech – and already reaping the rewards.

The man behind the innovation is CEO and founder, Frank Magliochetti, who has led the business since 2019. Here, we sit down with the CEO as he reveals the surprisingly simple secret to the company’s success, what makes ClickStream’s apps unique, and why the business is such a smart investment option today…

What does a typical day look like for you as the CEO of ClickStream?

It’s about focusing on priorities and not on the noise which creeps into your day. My typical day involves being focused on the initiatives which drive enterprise value, which is critical when dealing with startups like CLIS.

Keeping team members aligned on our quarterly objectives is also vital for our success. Many distractions can enter into your day, so discipline to remain focused on critical success factors is always our daily goal.

What makes ClickStream apps like HeyPal, WinQuick, and Nifter so different from the competition?

Let me walk you through each! HeyPal is different from the competition in one simple way: users learn languages the most natural and human way possible – with other people! Studies show that social interaction is a key component, and arguably the most vital aspect of language learning.

HeyPal makes it easy to find new penpals to learn a language with through direct messaging, a special teacher/student matching algorithm, and a common social feed – all of which can be instantly translated from native to learning language instantly, and vice versa.

All the features of HeyPal are built around creating human connections and practicing new languages in context. While traditional learning methodologies like flashcards, rote memorization, and lessons are important to language learning, many platforms lack social interaction and the “live” components. This is where real practice occurs and why many who study new languages never actually apply those learnings, and often lose their progress.

Beyond the base human interactions, many language learners find that special person and a keen interest, offering more motivation to “impress” their counterparts, and providing the missing, but vital, accountability factor.

Then we have WinQuik. This is one of only two platforms in the market that offers live-hosted trivia games for Android and iOS. Trivia HQ is the other. WinQuik’s live games are different – and better than – HQ because of our unique timing mechanism. Our technology allows users to be timed as they answer live trivia questions. The ones who answer the most questions correctly in the fastest amount of time reach the top of WinQuik’s leaderboard. WinQuik’s payouts are larger because the app can isolate the top fastest users, whereas HQ splits the pot amongst the thousands who got all 10 questions correct that day leading to diluted payouts.

Also, WinQuik has layered security measures to ensure bots, duplicate accounts, and unverified users do not play and do not end up on the leaderboard. Other trivia apps like HQ seem to be more passive on such security efforts.

Plus, unlike HQ, WinQuik offers four different game types that can be played 24/7 including a 1 vs. 1 challenge feature that allows users to play friends and family in trivia contests for coins that they “bet” against each other. Cash prizes are offered for users who complete the most amount of 1 vs. 1 challenge in a week.

Nifter is a unique NFT platform because of its niche appeal to music lovers. It is the first NFT marketplace to focus solely on songs being minted as NFTs. There is no other ‘noise’ on the platform such as dancing cats or artworks of French Bulldogs. Currently, other NFT marketplaces such as Nifty drop NFTs for collectibles that support the artist and their music, but aren’t the actual songs – album art, fan experiences, etc. ClickStream is working to partner with major record labels, music groups, producers, and recording artists to tap into the uncharted territory of song NFTs. Other platforms have shied away from minting the non-independent songs because of an unwillingness to work with the entities that own the music. Nifter’s business model is to partner with the music giants to create a brand extension for their artists.

Are your current apps large enough to sustain the company as a competitive investment in the major public markets?

Absolutely, or we would never have invested in them. The HeyPal segment exceeds 1 billion, and the NFT segment is at an embryonic stage. This segment is going to explode and we have a turnkey marketplace that can go horizontal in any segment. It is a transferable platform. The opportunity is enormous. Then, our children’s entertainment and education app, Joey’s Animal Kingdom, is in a segment that is growing by double digits, with the global segment is in the billions.

How are you capitalizing the company and will it be sustainable on the market? Is the company financing through debt or through equity and how will that affect shareholder value?

We finance our operations and growth through equity. Don’t lose sight: we are an OTC company in a startup situation in which we internally finance start-up projects. In other words, we are an incubator. Financing OTC enterprises is challenging and we have our niche in how we raise capital. To date, it has worked.

It is our intent for the successful companies in our asset portfolio that we will seek additional capital by externally funding them. An example of which could be uplisting one of our subsidiaries. This will provide enormous enterprise value CLIS.

Where do you see the company 5 years from now?

It is our goal to have 3 to 4 subsidiaries listed to Nasdaq and to have CLIS as a Nasdaq listed company.

Why should someone buy stock in your company?

It is our opinion that our stock is grossly undervalued at this time. Our subsidiary values are grossly undervalued. All OTC stocks are speculative for a host of reasons – and Sustainability and Growth Potential are key indicators of unrealized value. Compare the markets our subsidiaries are into the Sustainability and Growth Potential and you will c see we are clearly positioned for success. There is no guarantee, however, there’s no doubt about it that we are in explosive segments.

Want to Learn a New Language? Try a Social Learning App Like HeyPal!

July 28, 2021 By

Social Learning Apps the future of Language Learning!

The primary purpose of language is to provide a means of communication with others – a way to talk to one another. It’s not surprising, then, that we learn a new language by talking to one another. Using a new language in social situations helps us learn new words and phrases, correct mispronunciations, and enjoy the skills we have learned along the way.

Until very recently, the only ways to learn a language was to take a class led by a single teacher and practice with the other students who didn’t know the language either, or to move to a place where people speak the language you wish to learn. Classroom learning helps students build their vocabulary, but it may also instill a very formal style of speaking that sounds stiff to people who already speak the language – it can also make it hard to communicate with native speakers with dialects different from the one you learned. Immersion learning is great, if you can afford to move to a new country and have the patience, ability and courage to teach yourself.

Social Language Learning Apps Bridge the Gap between Classroom and Immersion Learning

Social language learning apps provide a third option when it comes to learning a new language. Social learning platforms allows people to collaborate, share and communicate with other users who have more, less, or the same amount of knowledge in a particular field. This means users can learn conversational language directly from native speakers who may have different dialects, and help teach language skills to those with less experience.

Language learning apps also have built-in tools and programs that make learning easier and more enjoyable. Social learning platforms are also entertaining, in that users can meet and interact with like-minded people from around the world. Having fun can have a positive effect on motivation levels and the amount of information the user retains.

Social language learning apps are also convenient – simply pick up your phone and start the app, any time of day or night. This puts the user in control of how often they study their new language.

Popular Apps that Use Social Learning for Languages

HelloTalk

HelloTalk allows users to communicate with language partners via text, voice calls, voice messages, video calls, and doodles. The app also offers a number of tools, such as translation, pronunciation, transliteration, and corrections. Users can engage with, share updates and even ask questions in larger communities by posting “Moments,” which are public posts that all native speakers of the target language can see.

While HelloTalk encourages free-form interaction, it does not offer structured learning that other apps provide.

Tandem

Tandem is an up-to-date language exchange app with millions of users. After filling out a short profile, users scroll through age-badged photo profiles to find someone they’d like to strike up a conversation in a new language with. While it can feel a little like Tinder, the platform does aim to connect and match up strangers with a mutual interest in speaking a specific language.

Bilingua

Bilingua is similar to Tandem in that users might end up saying “Hello, how are you?” to dozens of strangers before finding someone they’d really like to talk to.

MyLanguageExchange

MyLanguageExchange is better than Bilingua or Tandem when it comes to making long-term connections, but it features an old-school website that might appeal only to an older crowd and not necessarily to students who are more accustomed to the instant and anonymous feel of modern apps. Its database features people interested in language exchanges, along with short bios and details of what they are looking for in a “study buddy.”

HeyPal™ App from Clickstream

The HeyPal™ app from Clickstream is one of the most exciting social learning apps for picking up a new language. This language learning platform focuses on “language exchanging” between users from around the world. Instead of using quizzes and other traditional language-learning tools, HeyPal™ matches learners together with native speakers, which makes the whole process of learning a language more fun, engaging, and faster. HeyPal™ also offers social media features, including posts and media uploading to “language boards” that allow participants to post original content and fully immerse themselves in the language they are learning.

HeyPal™ has made big strides and is still growing. Between its beta launch in the iOS App Store in February 2021 and July 6th, HeyPal™ received a total of over 2.2 million messages, more than 470,000 translations, over 13,000 posts, exceeded 110,000 likes and has over 38,000 downloads.

The app has also taken the market by storm, growing nearly 22% in a single week in 2021, from 54,700 on June 22nd to 66,500 app downloads on June 30th. The growth rate of almost 22,000 new downloads blew away the competition, including apps that are much larger and have been around a while. Clearly, HeyPal™ will be at the top of the app store after its Android worldwide launch in the fall of 2021.

As of July 27th HeyPal has a reach of over 3,000,000 Messages, 650,000 Translations, 140,000 Likes, 17,000 Posts and 86,000 Downloads in Just Over 5.5 Months of Beta Launch.

“There’s such positive momentum with the usage and feedback of HeyPal™ and it’s apparent consumers are looking for different and fun ways to learn a new language. What’s exciting about HeyPal™ is all the messages back and forth between people meeting each other from different parts of the world and it’s really incredible to see the social aspect of engagement and learning. It is our belief the true launch of HeyPal™ will be upon the Android release ” stated Frank Magliochetti, CEO of ClickStream Corp.

Picking up a new language has never been easier or more fun! Simply choose a social learning app and start connecting with others interested in a language exchange experience.
