Interactivity
Even Though textbooks still exist in a classroom, students today mostly prefer tablets or laptops to help their studies by surfacing through the internet. Unlike before lessons are delivered in a more interactive manner with a latest clear cut display and various software. Probably in a mere future, I think students will not carry bulk books. Eventually there is a rise in e-books and e-readers. All that is just a click away where one can gain access to world of books through online libraries.
Education Apps
There is a broad range of softwares that falls under the shelter of education. It has an ingenious take on traditional learning techniques. It has already proved to be a popular means of tool in today’s education.

Students rather relying on the tutor for information entirely. But it necessarily doesn’t mean that one should neglect the information delivered by a tutor.
