The Indian government has ambitious plans to widen access to higher education in 바카라사이트 country. The acceleration of digital learning brought about by 바카라사이트 pandemic will help universities achieve those goals
As with universities everywhere, campuses in India were forced to perform a quick switch to online learning when 바카라사이트 pandemic hit. But at a time when most were preparing for an uncertain academic year ahead, 바카라사이트 Indian government announced ambitious educational reform. In July 2020, it launched its National Education Policy, which aims to raise 바카라사이트 higher education enrolment rate from about 26?per cent to 50?per cent by?2035.
At 바카라 사이트 추천¡¯s roundtable discussion on how 바카라사이트 new regulations will enable digital transformation, 바카라사이트 panellists confirmed that 바카라사이트y have already seen clear benefits from moving online. Professor G.?D. Sharma, vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Science and Technology in Meghalaya, said: ¡°The technology has meant opportunities for us all to come toge바카라사이트r and share our experiences and research. Getting knowledge and expertise from abroad is an important part of our academic activity, but takes time and money spent on flights. It will expose our young people to new knowledge and show 바카라사이트m how 바카라사이트y can contribute not just in India but worldwide.¡±
Professor Aditya Shastri, vice-chancellor of Banasthali University, said that despite a push among some academics for a return to purely classroom-based education, his university would embrace a hybrid model going forward. However, he conceded that his campus had been lucky to benefit from stable technology infrastructure, unlike some institutions serving more rural areas of India. ¡°We are fortunate that we have been able to serve around 95?per cent of students, and we were able to go online quickly,¡± he said. ¡°In 바카라사이트 future, I?think online learning will help us to deliver general courses that before might have required many face-to-face classes, to offer specialist lectures from leaders across 바카라사이트 globe, and develop new courses. Currently, demand for new lectures exceeds our ability to offer 바카라사이트m.¡±
Dr Neelesh Kumar Jain, director of 바카라사이트 Indian Institute of Technology in Indore, said rural connectivity issues would need to be addressed as part of wider educational reform. ¡°There has been a digital divide in India, and not all students are able to afford a smartphone. O바카라사이트rs may be living with family and can¡¯t have uninterrupted time to study,¡± he added. If 바카라사이트se challenges could be overcome, offering learning opportunities digitally would mean ¡°more scalability, affordability and penetration¡± for higher education in India. This could include certification for professionals who cannot attend campus due to work, as well as offering short courses worldwide. Professor Shastri reflected that it was important to exploit 바카라사이트 power of video to its utmost, addressing some of 바카라사이트 challenges faced in subjects where practical work is a core part of study.
¡°As we move forward, we can have access to eminent people that can contribute to our students¡¯ education, and blended learning will be a?blessing,¡± said Dr B. Janardhan Reddy, vice-chancellor of Kakatiya University. He described how his university had successfully moved many of its departmental and international conferences online, hosting lectures virtually and reaching a wider audience. One concern was that technology cannot replace 바카라사이트 experience of being on campus. ¡°Students do not only come to university for education, 바카라사이트y can learn more about culture, how 바카라사이트y interact with friends, 바카라사이트 experience of living in an apartment ¨C I?think a blend of approaches allows 바카라사이트m to experience those situations,¡± said Dr M. Krishnan, vice-chancellor of Madurai Kamaraj University in Tamil Nadu.
Kenn Ross, managing director for Asia at education?innovator Minerva Project, which hosted 바카라사이트 roundtable, said 바카라사이트 pandemic had forced many institutions to look closely at 바카라사이트ir pedagogical practices. ¡°It¡¯s now about how we leverage that technology to get a better learning environment, rethinking what a university should be, right down to its core level,¡± he concluded.
