Imagine that the lockdown/curfew due to CovID-19 persists in your country for another year & schools, colleges and other educational institutes are forced to remain shut, how do you see the education system of our country changing for students all over the country?
Answers
Answer:
Shubhangi Mittal, a first-year student of Delhi University, is all set to go to college. She opens her WhatsApp, downloads the PDF file, listens to the audio lecture, and then moves on to the video chat with her professor to discuss the lesson. She is among more than 60 million students worldwide who are attending some form of online lectures in a post-coronavirus world.
“We use many online tools like YouTube, Google Classroom and others. The students understand the importance of continuing education. We are getting about 70 per cent online attendance and going forward, we expect it to reach the same attendance levels as we get during offline lectures,” said Dr. Anjum Padyal, Assistant Professor, Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Deshbandhu College, Delhi University.
A new name, Education 4.0, is here to stay, until another significant disruption in technology takes place.
India is not new to online education. Many private and government colleges in the country had been conducting online classes. Very small aperture terminals (VSATs) are still used by top Business schools in the country to create a closed user group (CUGs), which offers online classes globally. However, COVID-19 has hastened the online education sector, and mobile networks have become the preferred platform.
Connectivity
Online education depends on several factors and robust connectivity is at the top of that list. COVID-19 has led to a successful collaboration between telecom firms and streaming companies like Netflix and Youtube, in lowering the transmission bit rate from high definition to standard definition, which was done to maintain the network capacity. It made more bandwidth available for a large number of users. Going forward, learning app firms could work together with technology providers and telecom service providers to develop tools that make learning truly enjoyable. They could also explore providing students with real-time experience of managing chemicals and operating machines.
