By IANSlife

New Delhi, Aug 23 (SocialNews.XYZ) It's critical to explore beyond textbooks in the twenty-first century. Today, there are countless resources for learning. When we restrict the scope of instruction to a certain field, the purpose of education is irretrievably lost.

Different new-age companies are now offering communication, critical thinking, and experiential learning. According to research, regularly utilising resources other than textbooks can aid students in learning more quickly and effectively.

In reality, by making learning familiar and meaningful to pupils, employing resources besides the textbook can help to promote authenticity in learning activities.
