Technology can also help teachers create a more enriching learning environment for their students by delivering lessons through videos, digital textbooks, podcasts, multi-coloured charts, and images. According to a recent report by the world economic forum, India can build on the digital solutions tested and adopted during the pandemic to take education to all and prepare Indian school students for success in the 21st century. India's New Education Policy 2020 also aims to improve the delivery of quality education for all learners, including through digital means. Based on their aptitude and interests, students meet academic milestones at different paces. However, technology can play a critical role in designing strategies that can help students make the most of their online learning experience. A few of them have been discussed here. 1. Multi-Sensory Learning: - As the name suggests, this approach to teaching involves engaging several regions of the brain. Combining aural or visual components that includes listening to the concepts while also viewing them in the form of pictures can aid in faster, higher impact learning. Besides audio or visual multimedia, multisensory learning could also include tactile, smell and taste-related materials. For instance, using clay to make models as part of the lesson plan or delivering content through storytelling coupled with enactment, as and when required. 2. Embedded Learning: - This `learning by doing' approach is a powerful tool deployed by teachers to help students deep dive for greater understanding of concepts and context.
