Summary - The recent
pandemic caused due to the COVID - 19 has brought about some tumultuous times
and has created a new normal in various transactions in the world. Whether
it is higher education or work, remote logging in seems to be paving the way.
The recent COVID -19
pandemic has changed the way the world operates. Education, work,
entertainment, and many other aspects of life have all begun to operate
remotely. Social distancing has taken remote working to a whole new level.
Students across the world have completed the school year either through online
lessons or through online assignments.
Education, whether it is for
K-12 or higher education online learning is going to be the new normal. Invertis
University is one such academic institution which is leading by example amidst
the lockdown. Invertis University has taken various initiatives to offer
distance education/ online learning programs to facilitate the academic goals
of its students.
Graphic designing, big data
analysis, digital marketing, online MBA programs, programming, application
development, creative writing, human resources, foreign language, and a few
others are the learning programs that can be pursued online. With higher
education, it is important to understand which parts of the education can be
managed with digital technologies and which parts can be managed otherwise.
Some theoretical subjects
may require lesser interaction and can be managed with multi-media
presentations that can be watched by students at their comfortable
timings.
Regular timings can be
utilized for career guidance, assignments that are managed through group
interactions, and any other course-based interactions. Online education is a
shift in the way education is pursued both in India and globally. It remains to
be to how teachers, students, parents, and the other stakeholders involved
handle the shift in the way education is going remote.
It is important for all the
stakeholders involved in the online education system to keep a tab on the
classes that have been completed. Chat rooms can be enabled to facilitate
discussions about various education-based techniques. Many hardware and
software glitches occur due to bandwidth incapability and other technical
challenges. While financially strong students can manage the latest laptops and
Wi-Fi with stable connection there is still the challenge of students that
cannot afford such facilities.
Course designing, trainers,
technical specifics, and many others are an essential part of online learning
to make it a normal mode of education. While some of the top universities are
well equipped in terms of infrastructure, faculty, and budget a few others seem
to be faltering in these areas and may suffer to keep pace with the changes in
the education in terms of the recent changes concerning the pandemic/ social
distancing.
The recent situation is
going to bring a new wave in the world of education.
Udemy, Coursera and a few
other online education providers had offered tons of online programs for a
variety of courses. The recent pandemic scenario has changed the way regular
education providers operate. The cost of tuition, inability to acquire
education, remote location, and a few other challenges have been playing a
vital role in creating an imbalance in the society between students coming from
financially sound and poor backgrounds. We are yet to see whether the current
change in the education system will be able to stand the test of times!
