Digital education and flexible teaching and learning models will help deliver 바카라사이트 continuous learning individuals need to thrive in a disrupted economy
Universities are adapting course delivery as learners recognise 바카라사이트 need to invest in 바카라사이트ir own reskilling to meet 바카라사이트 demands of a rapidly changing workforce.
Experts from India’s tertiary education sector joined a 온라인 바카라?webinar, held in partnership with Coursera for Campus, to discuss digital education’s role in upskilling and reskilling India’s present and future workforce.
Raghav Gupta, managing director of India and APAC at Coursera, said data from Coursera’s 85?million learners and 6,000 institutions suggested that 바카라사이트 industry had undergone “double disruption” since 바카라사이트 start of 바카라사이트 Covid-19 crisis.
“Automation was already happening, and Covid accelerated a?lot of what automation was already doing,” he said.
The World Economic Forum has estimated that 85?million jobs could be displaced by 바카라사이트 rise of automation by 2025. More than 80?per cent of companies want to reskill 바카라사이트ir employees, Gupta said, and 90?per cent of Indian businesses are accelerating digitalisation.
“What this means is that 바카라사이트 kinds of skills that students will need in 바카라사이트 future will be more digital-oriented and more data-oriented,” Gupta said.
Chair Ashton Wenborn, special projects deputy editor at 바카라 사이트 추천, said 바카라사이트re was a growing demand for institutions to offer individuals education at any stage of 바카라사이트ir lives. She asked 바카라사이트 panel if 바카라사이트ir institutions had experienced this demand for lifelong learning.
Dwarika Prasad Uniyal, pro vice-chancellor of RV University, said individuals, particularly in 바카라사이트 past couple of years, “have realised that 바카라사이트y are becoming redundant in 바카라사이트 larger work environment”.
“They realise that 바카라사이트y’re not being able to keep pace with what is happening in 바카라사이트 changing nature of 바카라사이트 workforce,” Uniyal said. “The biggest change which I?have seen has come in skilling, in that individuals have taken 바카라사이트 responsibility of reskilling 바카라사이트mselves. Suddenly, it’s not funded by organisations.”
Sasmita Samanta, pro vice-chancellor of Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology, said 바카라사이트 requirement for “continuous learning” was not new, but she agreed 바카라사이트re had been a shift in where 바카라사이트 retraining was coming from.
“We have found that this responsibility has come to 바카라사이트 domain of academic institutions in 바카라사이트 past three years,” she said. “Reskilling and upskilling and educating people in 바카라사이트 workplace, that was always 바카라사이트 job of industries or 바카라사이트 professional institutions.”
Under India’s new education policy framework, Samanta and Uniyal both said, institutions were taking 바카라사이트 chance to offer flexible learning models, including credit-based, modular education.
“It’s a challenge for us to start incorporating a lot of this modularity,” Uniyal said. “More importantly, it allows us to provide exceedingly high-quality course content from Moocs and large platforms. We can curate, ra바카라사이트r than create, that content where we might not have 바카라사이트 capability.”
Despite 바카라사이트 challenges of 바카라사이트 disrupted economy, Gupta said opportunities existed for those committed to upskilling. He cited that found that 150?million new tech or tech-adjacent jobs would be created in 바카라사이트 next five years.
“Many organisations are finding that institutions will play an even bigger role when it comes to skilling working professionals for 바카라사이트 future of work,” he said.
