Classroom in the Cloud

 

 

Context > How Technology is transforming education in Tamilnadu

Extract :

“ Students come to class to discuss and clarify what they read online. Classrooms have become more interactive, less about information delivery and more about engagement “ , said T R Gopalkrishnan, Head of the Department of Journalism and Communication, University of Madras { trg.project@unom.ac.in / trggopi@unom.co.in / trg.project@gmail.com }

 

“ These days students are preparing for exams entirely based on online books on laptops and Mobile Phones.They also prepare their own notes as PowerPoints “ , said professor D Arivudainambi , department of mathematics, Anna University { arivu@annauniv.edu }

“ When I started as a teacher, in the 1990s, classroom instruction relied heavily, on textbooks, explanations, and exam preparation “ , says G J Manohar , a retired economics teacher. “ Now, if students don’t understand something in class, they go online to access videos that explain things better “

But the standout change is the shift to the online mode. Online courses and certifications from portals such as NPTEL and SWAYAM have more takers after the pandemic.

“ More than 35,000 students are enrolled in two BS programmes, with nearly 35 % from families with less than 5 lakh a year income. This combination of access, flexibility, affordability and value is possible only by using digital means “ , said professor Andrew Thangaraj, of IIT Madras { Andrew@nptel.iitm.ac.in }
