Edmentum: Integrating Tech into Education

The technology used to support and provide access to education falls under the education technology category. This can include equipment, programs, or other materials teachers and students utilize to facilitate learning. In the classroom or outside, these technologies support students in attending their lessons, collaborating, connecting with distant learners, or picking up new skills. Education technology is frequently referred to as “EdTech.” Edmentum is dedicated to assisting instructors in personalizing learning for each student through user-friendly technology, excellent content, actionable data, and customer satisfaction. Edmentum’s strong learning solutions, built on innovation, combine technology with customized teaching methods.
