Education is one of the key sectors that has hugely benefited from the influx of web technologies and digital media. New forms of learning and teaching have seen the light while old ones have been revamped. People are no longer required to step into a school to receive their education, they can do it online at the time and place of their liking. Teachers are using technology to enhance their students learning and deepen their understanding by providing them with first-hand learning experiences involving the use of innovative tools such as VR technologies, virtual labs, artificial intelligence, digital simulations and many more. Students with learning disabilities have also been attended to through web tools and apps designed specifically to meet their learning needs. Technology has, and is still continuing to, transform education in super colossal ways.
