Usually, a transition from a traditional to a digital learning platform requires meticulous planning and implementation; the pandemic forced the global educational institutions to abide by the new norm in a matter of days.

This provides the learners with the necessary flexibility and impetus to prioritize other matters of life without compromising on acquiring quality education. As more and more people are warming up to this idea of knowledge-seeking, as research suggests, the digitization of learning is here to stay. “Exeed College is prepared to undertake any kind of challenge thrown in its way to adapt to the changing circumstances. Recent data shows that the pandemic has aided the institute to increase its learner base as more prospective learners wanted to adopt remote learning”, remarks Samras Mayimi, Co-founder and Executive Director, Westford Education Group.
