Along with the content, it should include activities, hyperlinks and videos. Lesson plans should also be designed digitally for easy access to teachers.

In the inaugural session of the workshop on November 23, Commissioner, School Education, S. Suresh Kumar said students preparing for CBSE exams should make use of the teaching and learning material to achieve the best results.
