A group of five students have been given the topic “Online Learning and the Higher Education Scenario in India,” for group discussion. Write out the discussion in around 300 words.
Covid-19 has
forced universities across India, and the world indeed, to suspend physical
classrooms and shift to online classes. Teams not only enables teachers and
students to connect over video-enabled remote classrooms but Also provides a
host of interactive and collaborative tools on a single platform. I think
online education and others play a good role. So when Your kids grow up
during the education it mixes them with a lot of people.

Secondly, when
you do learn and you go up the value chain, it is important to actually know
networking. But at the same time if you look at the education, the way it is
delivered in current day, these platforms and others are absolutely flat,
dull and boring. The shift to online teaching in India was very sudden this
year. Most educational institutes and teachers were not prepared for this
change. Teachers who were not very familiar with using technology had to
grapple with tools of video conferencing, prepare presentations and learn a
lot along with their regular job of teaching.

Ensuring active
student participation is an important challenge faced in an online classroom.
This could be attributed to the feeling of isolation among students, Lack of
peer interaction and opportunity for collaborative learning that happens
inconventional classroom on campus.
Even the students have to adapt to online learning using computers, tablets
and mobile phones. What started as a Short-term requirement now-Looks like
will continue for Longer duration.

Maybe in 15-20
years, whey this kind of dimensionality gets embedded into learning platform,
actually the value of online education will go up drastically. Right now,
this is purely a way of avoiding physical contact

Talking of
virtual teaching, we cannot ignore the fact that many Students might not have
access to the internet. India is a divers nation. A group of people would be
having trouble but at the same time you have to realise until we allow people
to go slowly and keep moving up, they cannot take the rest of the people
along with them to grow. Availability of uninterrupted internet to access
online classes has been a challenge for most students. Although the internet
penetration rate in India is more than 50%, still some rural areas are deprived
‘of internet ‘connectivity. intermittent connectivity often poses
difficulties in getting seamless online Learning experience. There is an
urgent to need to ensure internet access to rural areas of the country.
