What is an E learning App?
An eLearning app or an online learning app connects students with a school or institutions with the help of a Learning Management System (LMS). The app holds, deploys scheduled courses, tests as per the curriculum assigned. These curricula would be set up by teachers/administrators, and the related notifications/content would be sent via the internet.
If these apps are AI enabled they can track the progress, analyse the weakness and strength of students and recommend courses and tests to enhance learning.
There are many apps each with its unique USP and trying to make a difference in the niche they are focusing on be it geography, stream of studies or the users. In this article let us explore some of the E learning apps from Kerala and their features.
