As the end of the year approaches, we realise that this pandemic has, if nothing else, shown us how integral technology has become to every part of our lives. Just like conversations and interactions have become heavily dependent on the digital medium, education has also evolved. Interactive learning is today a key aspect of education, and several EdTech brands like Byju’s and WhiteHat Jr have become well known for offering a variety of courses and programs for the students of tomorrow. Adding to this, a number of unique online learning platforms have begun integrating tech-powered personalised courses with individualised learning and highly skilled teachers to make education fun, dynamic, and interactive for students.
