Hi there,
It is true that digital learning came as a savior during pandemic times to ensure continuous learning. However, among many learning challenges owing to the online shift to learning, one was a limitation for educators to measure it correctly. Lack of data prevented teachers from helping students in their own respective struggles.
Remote learning forced students and teachers to interact in a way that was not engaging and they didn't feel connected to each other. Students were not able to share areas they needed help in, and schools and districts didn’t employ enough tools to empower educators to measure student learning outcomes.

Having the right tools, assessment measures, and data in place can help teachers make strategic decisions.
