The traditional classroom, as we know it, is slowly going through a tremendous metamorphosis giving way to a new efficient system of blended learning. This is the integration of online and in-person (face-to-face) modes of learning.

Over the years, in-person learning has greatly dominated the education sector, with online learning being relegated to the periphery. Online learning has been wrongly perceived by some people as inferior compared to in-person learning. To them, it plays second fiddle, and they hold the view that the quality of online classes is low, but nothing can be further from the truth.
