Indian education is fast moving into the hybrid approach to learning. The challenge confronting higher learning institutions today is the ability to equip educators with suitable technology to create an effective hybrid learning environment and empower students to do their best, original work.
- A report published by PwC and the Confederation of Indian Industry in September 2021, titled “Re-envisioning higher education through digital adoption”, stressed that while the hybrid learning model is the way forward, 64% of higher learning institutions continue to face difficulties in adopting digital technologies mainly due to the lack of holistic solutions that can be efficiently integrated with their existing roles.
