Active learning supports self-directed learning, where students are in the core engine of education. Learning online makes the students self-disciplined as this mode of learning is required lot of control.
Let's fathom the innovative ideas that a digital educational environment has to offer.
Digital classroom. Digital classrooms are upgraded and vibrant study-places where learners can engage themselves in intuitive study. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar classroom, digital classroom does not bound the students with strict guidelines. They can engage in a audio-visual conference, a small-group or even 1-2-1 conversation whenever they feel the need of it. The classrooms are designed to help students to express their ideas explicitly.
Technologies, in this digital era, are not treated as mind distractors that interrupt the focus, they are the source of information that forms a connection; connection within classroom and beyond it. With the abundance of resources and best-in-class tools that promote advanced learning, students are becoming addicted to learning.

"They have gone from being the sage on the stage to meddlers in the middle," Jeff Zoul, the assistant superintendent for teaching and learning Deerfield Public Schools District 109 said. "I can walk in in the middle of the class and talk to the teacher. I couldn't do that in maths class. They still spend a lot of time in the front of the room."
