Unique Features of Byju’s Tablet Based E-Learning Programs:
Since its release, tablets have taken the entire world by storm. Tablets have swept through every industry, especially education. The proliferation of tablets in the classroom will only keep accelerating. With these powerful mobile devices, come a lot of possible benefits for educators and students alike. We know tablets are exciting and with plethora of engaging applications, but many parents are still skeptical whether tablet based learning really helps or it is just a flashy tech trend to grab the attention of students to accomplish the same thing as analog instructions.
There have been many interesting studies based on tablets and its effect on teachers and students alike. We have pulled together a list of various study results regarding using of tablets.

Using of tablet can be a powerful tool for learning and comprehension. The interactivity it provides is very engaging for students of all ages. There are numerous advantages of using tablets to learn
- E-learning
Considering the traditional textbooks, the major issue students’ encounter is the outdated information. The same textbook/exercise book stays on for at least 5 years with no new information input. But with e-learning, the e-readers are quickly updated with the latest information regarding subject matter which enables real time updates that are useful.
- Study at own pace
Not all students have the same capability. Few can grasp the information very soon and some students need more time than average to understand a concept. With tablets, students can study at their own pace. It is a convenient tool as students can take extra time in the areas where they need it most.
- Cloud networking
Studying from a tablet saves a lot of time. Considering the school/college/work hours, added with the time loss due to commuting, makes it an absolute necessary. Students can study at the comfort of their house or use it while traveling. This gives sufficient space to improve organizational skills. Anytime-anywhere studying is possible.
But tablets alone do not serve the purpose; we need dedicated mentors who are the main source through whom the information flows. Replacing textbooks/study materials with tablets is possible but without a mentor, education loses its essence. Mentors ensure that the technology actually improves the learning process.
