IndiaToday On line Education Discussion points

India Today On Line Education Discussion Points 

1. STOCK TAKING  ON LINE EDUCATION !

1. 3 % to 100 % academics came on to line with in three weeks or so

2. Universities , Schools and Colleges dont have ready made infrastructure and content all these years

Suddenly they are forced to befriending with the same agencies whom they thought competitors now as their best helpers .  Same set of people whom they shunned as NO SCHALORSHIP now became LIFE LINE for academics !

3. Most of these people are NOT TYPICAL EDUCATORS and PROFESSORS  ! But janitors ! Back Benchers and Money makers !

4. Teachers are not READY and COMPETENT to do this ! Students are far ahead of teachers in this race  !
---------------

2. RESPONSE of ACADEMICS 

1. Indian Educators Are SILENT  on ON LINE Education . They are mum.  No VC, Director, IIM IIT professors speak what is going to be , how they will do. Nothing is spoken !

2. They are doing little and claiming that it is MILE STONES.. What is done earlier done on ON LINE .  Classroom discussions and done on line ! Most boring ones !

It is atrocious.. MCQ and short answer questions and case studies giving to students on line exam !

----------------------

3. DO NOTE THE FOLLWOING  with reference to ON LINE !

WHAT  to HOW ?  CONTENT   to  INTENT
Centrality of LEARNING is.. LEARNER ! LEARNING  REMOTE  is lost !  and NEW people have taken up !
DEVELIVERY MODELS CHANGED
PRICES, TIME, SPACE, GEOGRAPHY CHANGED
Complete  academic value chain is TRANSFORMED ! Admissions, hostels, class rooms, examinations, convocations etc !
UNLEARNING, RELEARNING , RATHER LEARNING
NEED FOR TEACHERS  to learn !
Certain BEST learning practices becomes WORST !
Good colleges might become bad !
Good professors become bad !
Governments rope in different LEARNING deliverers not conventional schools and colleges !
--------------------------------------------
4. ENDS  not MEANS matter in ON LINE ! 
- If the SCALE UP happened !
- If DNA of learning  has changed !
 Previous / Earlier  gaps are capped repeatedly by the learners before getting to the next level of learning
 Altogether different learning . Learner decides if s/he learned or not ? Learner decides to what to learn ? How much Learn ? From what to learn ? Azadi Shiksha !
- If PRICES fallen !
- If Education does not lead to NO UNEMPLOYMENT
- If Learning is INSTANTANTEOUS
- If Education is EXPENSE or INSTANTANEOUS  INCOME !
- ------------------------
5. ON LINE Ways - LOOKS LIKE
Teacher  made Content .. Student consumes
Student Using .. Analytics
Student Content - Student Learning
Student Content - Teacher and  other learning
