Education trends 2020: What will redefine the education sector?

India Today  

The year 2019 saw some incredible technological advances in education. Personalized Learning Humans are not machines and up until recently, universities - big and small - have been guilty of continuing to impart education via 'one-size-fits-all' models. New forms of learning have proven to generate creative people who are able to leverage technology far better than those that graduate from conventional teacher-centric models. The cost of delivering education could be brought down significantly by using technology-enabled machines that could do all the heavy lifting in the classroom, including blended learning, 24x7 tutoring and a lot more. Experiential learning supported by powerful AR/VR learning aids could simulate a real-life environment impossible to fathom in a conventional classroom.
