Among the best uses of a census anywhere in the world was perhaps what happened in the United States when, in

census.

No one imagined that Covid-19 would turn our world upside down and would bring major changes to our lifestyle.
The virus has spread everywhere like a wild forest fire due to which numerous changes were accepted by people all
over the world, and it took some time for everyone to adapt to the new normal. Online learning is rapidly becoming
one of the most effective ways to impart education. Online classes and technology have emerged as a superhero
during the lockdown days. For students, online classes have become an imminent trend in the education sector
around the globe. Digital learning has provided easy access to the files and folders that can now be organised and
saved without any physical damage. With advanced technology, this mode of learning has not only been simpler
but fun and engaging as well. Technology-enabled learning is beneficial and has proven to be more engaging as it
helps in making those subjects interactive and fun which are traditionally considered dull by students. It became
very convenient for the students to attend classes from anywhere in the world as both classes and learning content
was easily accessible at home. Integration of the learning platforms with new-age interactive applications has made
online classes more convenient for both students and teachers as more students are able to express their views at
