Edtech tools provide a wide spectrum of possibilities to create individualised lesson plans and learning experiences, which should stimulate and boost the learning capabilities of everyone.
Education is characterised by innovation, and two companies, zick Learn and imagi, will be joining the Tech.eu Summit in a few weeks.
