MARK AS BRAINLIEST
1. Rise in Blended Learning
Universities and colleges will shift to a model of blended learning where both face to face delivery along with an online model will become a norm. This will require all teachers to become more technology savvy and go through some training to bring themselves to the level that would be required.
New ways of delivery and assessments of learning outcomes will have to be adopted which opens immense opportunities for a major transformation in the area of curriculum development and pedagogy.
2. Learning management systems to be the new norm
A great opportunity will open up for those companies that have been developing and strengthening learning management systems for use by universities and colleges.
This has the potential to grow at a very fast pace but will have to be priced appropriately for use by all institutions.
3. Improvement in learning material
There is a great opportunity for universities and colleges to start improving the quality of the learning material that is used in the teaching and learning process.
Since blended learning will be the new format of learning there will be a push to find new ways to design and deliver quality content especially due to the fact that the use of learning management systems will bring about more openness and transparency in academics.
4. Rise in collaborative work
The teaching community to a large extent has been very insulated and more so in a country like India. There is a new opportunity where collaborative teaching and learning can take on new forms and can even be monetized.
Faculty members/ teachers can deliver online courses to even students from competing institutions. Collaborations can also happen among faculty/teachers across the nation to benefit from each other.
Finally, it is expected that there will be a massive rise in teleconferencing opportunities which can also have a negative impact on the travel.
A large number of academic meetings, seminars and conferences will move online and there is a possibility that some new form of an online conferencing platform will emerge as a business model.

After all this, there is one certainty that we can envisage and that is going to change how higher education will operate globally and in India.
India is not just going through a reform in the higher education sector, but now it will go through a major transformation in general.
