DESCRIPTION
Education today is a solo playground with the majority of students studying alone. And that’s unfortunate, as multiple studies show the best way to learn is to exchange knowledge with your peers. But technology can overcome the social and logistical barriers to collaborative learning. In our digital world, bringing students together should be the main focus of parents, educators and entrepreneurs alike.
