EDTECH

Digital technology has huge potential to become a student’s favourite teacher by offering a genuinely personal learning experience: by sensitively analysing their strengths and weaknesses, edtech can develop this feedback to create novel ways to help a student progress in a subject. Not only do online platforms, mobile apps and new learning formats enhance the often lonely process of studying, they can democratise education across the world, so that remote or poorer communities can receive similar standards of teaching as central, wealthier ones.
