It includes gestures such as swipes, pinches, and rotations, providing immediate interaction with digital content. Multi-touch technology is commonly associated with capacitive touchscreen displays. Incorporating multi-touch technology in education offers immense opportunities for interaction with graphical user interfaces (GUIs), more gestural control, and multi-user collaboration. It enables dynamic interaction around content, making classroom sessions more engaging for students. Multi-touch technology is easy to implement, offering a broad range of possibilities.

As a result, instructors are increasingly incorporating it into their delivery methods. As this trend continues, it is expected to enhance student interest in classroom sessions, which may positively impact the market in Europe during the forecast period. 

Significant Market Challenge

Challenges in implementation is a significant challenge hindering the market growth. The role of technology in education has changed, but many institutions haven't increased their budget for improving IT infrastructure at the same pace. While classroom technology needs to be flexible, a lack of financial resources for transformational work is a major hurdle in adopting interactive whiteboards. Full implementation of content management has significantly strengthened the education system in Europe. The availability of necessary hardware and understanding of how to use it optimally by faculty and instructors has played a crucial role in the adoption of technology in education. This has also made upgrading from traditional to digital learning and marketing institute websites more efficient.

However, teachers find it challenging to use technology to engage with students and support e-learning which is restricting the market expansion. Programs for training and professional development are essential to help teachers teach with technology. These factors are expected to hinder the growth of the market in Europe during the forecast period
