The increasing popularity and apparent benefits of digitization have forced all sectors to invest in this domain. Recent government initiatives like Digital India have steered significant efforts of embracing digital means for efficient functioning of key sectors. While traditional forms of teaching work in a generic manner, technology-enabled solutions allow customization of traditional approaches to suit individual student needs.
When it comes to digitization, there are primarily three trends that are ruling the roost [1]. Firstly, content is largely going digital with a rapidly increasing sales of digital textbooks. Secondly, the transformation of content into its digital counterpart allows its access and distribution to become global without the need for added logistics or infrastructure. Lastly, the most impactful benefit of digital education is customized learning. As a result, the teacher can act as a guide and he or she can provide additional assistance to students on need basis. The growing use of technologies like learning management systems, open content, cloud computing, mobile learning and data analytics are being adopted to assist digital education and take it to newer heights.

Traditional methods that involve the use of blackboard and chalk, with most of the approach centered around teacher, are no longer used. This approach has largely been replaced with powerpoint presentations, practical demonstrations, online training and other similar digital platforms, with major focus on interactive learning. Some of the infrastructural benefits of digital education include cost-effectiveness and efficient content delivery. Moreover, the teacher can spend more time explaining concepts in comparison to traditional approach where most of the time is spent in delivering content. It also addresses some of basic flaws in traditional teaching, which include lack of interactivity and promotion of bad practices like memorization.
