Online learning and offline learning have different value propositions and levels of acceptance in our day to day life.

And similar stigma which was held earlier, mainly of scholars learning everything ‘digital’ or ‘technological’ are now being appreciated and rewarded in some ways .

They arrange pupils in rows and columns as how to efficiently deliver a static way of learning courtesy to our past from the planet over. Not everything about this structuring is bad, but the limited options to education are visible thanks to not embracing technology earlier phases of life.

Can old fashioned designs be upgraded quite a projector screen by giving more personal control to children on what and the way to find out , using current and upcoming technologies to create more cohesive delivery models?
