| | November 20156EditorialThe concept of digital education has ushered a paradigm shift in the way students learn--from beginning phonics to mathematical calculations. Students are no longer interested in the static drawing of a DNA strand when they can explore its inside through an interactive digital rendition and know why DNA is called "blueprint for life". Instead of traditional singularly focused learning methods, education institutions are now exploring multiple ways to build an immersive learning and teaching environments. They are using digital devices like tablets and laptops to easily and cost effectively connect students with a huge number of digitized education resources and subject matter experts through internet. Further, faculties are using social media to connect with peers from different schools to adapt best of the teaching practices and digital tools available. The collaborative digital solutions are taking the whole education experience beyond class rooms, where students can participate in their own learning sessions, select content based on their interest, and connect with other students and teachers across the country and get feedbacks for an engaging self-directed learning. Also, social networks, online surveys, and student care portals are helping parents, families or guardians to form stronger connections with the education providers and get actively involved in their children's academia. The use of digital solutions in education emphasizes high-quality instructional pedagogy and opportunities for learning 'anytime and anywhere' to ensure that students reach their full potential to succeed in the academia.
