Those in management roles are working hard to keep pace with the fast digital speed at which the world is moving. The modern educator, too, does not want to be left behind in this journey. There is a need to ensure that the learning spaces are well equipped with knowledge, competencies, skills, and practices that are in tandem with the needs of the world today.
