- 6. History Quiz.. Students today depend too much on --------. They don’t know how to write on ----
- 7. Quiz.. Students today depend too much on paper . They don’t know how to write on slate What will they do when they run out of paper !! School Principal , 1815 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D17P3kqB3_0 A different way to think about technology in education: Greg Toppo at TEDxAshburn

- 10. Learning in Today’s environment ? -
- 11. Today's environment Pervasive net Mobile penetration Digital onslaught Education- no exception
- 12. Again History.. “Books will soon be obsolete in the public schools. Scholars will be instructed through the eye. It is possible to teach every branch of human knowledge with the motion picture. Our school system will be completely changed inside of ten years.” In “The New York Dramatic Mirror”,July 1913
- 14. Remarks.. Old paradigm of homogenization, standardization and mechanization of learning processes , outcomes and assessment is questionable !. Widening chasm between professional learning needs and traditional university course content and processes as disciplinary knowledge proliferates, professional work becomes both more specialized and digitized, the curriculum becomes more crowded.
- 15. Remarks.. Pedagogic affordances of digital technology in the educational space An abundance of all kinds of learning resources on any topic freely available to use and share
- 16. Remarks.. Current environment is about informalising, digitalizing, socializing and authenticating university learning where appropriate , accommodating vast array of professional learning needs and new ways of demonstrating rigour in academic standards beyond the simple one-size-fits-all approach ! Traditional explicit and declarative knowledge is the focus. In a fast moving industry, the time needed for universities to package knowledge in this way means the university programs will always lack relevance and currency
- 17. Remarks.. Much of the required skill and knowledge base required in digital media is tacit or procedural and is therefore learned in a situated and authentic context rather than a decontextutalised classrooms. Flexible, personalized and student-driven learning opportunities maximize student engagement.
- 18. Remarks.... Curriculum needs to be changed rapidly. Frankly speaking, universities are not designed to change curricula and introduce new classes at the pace required by changing industry requirements. The pace of change is very fast. The curricula must be open ended. Open learning is to be welcomed. Flexible and adaptable curriculum needs to be evolved. The way we learn should be our most personalized experience because no two people process information the same way.
- 19. Expectations of Student community and Industry Bombarded with technological gadgets (Mobile, web, laptop etc.) Low retention span Role of teacher? Teacher as a facilitator/coach Employability ? Dynamic requirements of industry Gap between what is taught and what is required

- 21. Engagement Engagement of students is an issue Retention and attention span ? Guided by social media Peer-to-peer learning ? How to create interesting contents and engage them. 26 March 2015 21
- 22. Courses.. Typical lecture course : 40 Hours 40 hours x 60 = 2400 minutes Typically attention span is 12 minutes So 2400/12 = 200 units of attention So in a typical course we have about 200 concepts/ideas/units to be delivered 26 March 2015 22
- 23. Insights.. Teacher can not be isolated from Technology Teacher competing with Technology OR Technology complimenting Teacher ?
- 24. Idea.. Democratization of education 26 March 2015 24
- 26. Democratization Idea 2: Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) A massive open online course is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. MOOCs are a recent development in distance education which was first introduced in 2008 and emerged as a popular mode of learning! 26 March 2015 26 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_open_online_course

- 36. Teaching and the teacher Ability to handle multiplicity of media Blackboard, video, Virtual room, etc. Engaging content ?
- 37. ‘One big difference between a MOOC and a traditional course is that a MOOC is completely voluntary. You decide that you want to participate, you decide how to participate, then you participate. If you're not motivated, then you're not in the MOOC.’ Downes, S. (2011). What a MOOC Does http://halfanhour.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-mooc-does-ch Remarks..

- 45. Mobile Learning Educators need to view smartphones not as a distraction to learning, but as an accelerator. Students can use their personal devices to personalize their learning. The where and when about using these devices may need to be worked out for effectiveness in an academic setting. Source: Prof PN Rao 26 March 2015 45

- 66. Quality through digital sources Memory based teaching as opposed to a more engaging and creative learning process Acute shortage of faculty Outdated curriculum Lack of linkage between knowledge & skills Multi-media and interactive tools to make interesting learning Faculty resources can be shared through IT Dynamic curriculum looking at the industry needs Web connectivity
- 67. Remarks.. Both teachers and students construct knowledge collaboratively and the student is an active partner in this process. Teacher as a guide rather than a sage on the stage ! Self-directed and life –long learning Teacher's role not extinct but Distinct (Fr Rex Angelo, 2009) Teaching as a reflective practice not a reflex practice
- 68. Implication : Interactivity Interactivity being more recent in the IT evolution Enables to understand customer (student) better Helps in understanding various features and add-ons by close interaction Feedback through blogging/facebook etc. 68
- 69. Implication for Quality Management: Connectivity ! Communication is anytime, anywhere via any device : Person-to-person, person- to-machine, machine-to-machine Connecting to Information sources Connecting to Change Connecting to an ever-changing , far reaching universe Connecting to new issues and trends Connecting to diverse resources
- 70. Insights.. Shift from the perspective of knowledge giver/sender to the perspective of knowledge receiver/recipient Emphasis on Learning !!! People do not select medium BUT they adopt themselves to medium (Prof N Cho, Hanyang University, Korea, 2 Jan 2009 at IIITM Gwalior)
- 71. Strategy for TQM in a digital environment Active use of digital resources Knowledge sharing Stress on continuous improvement Listening to the voice of customer(internal or external) 71
- 73. The global demand for education requires investment in pedagogic innovation for MOOCs to deliver TEL-based pedagogic innovation must support students at a better than 1:25 staff-student ratio Teachers need the tools to design, test, gather The global demand for education requires investment in pedagogic innovation :Digital environment provides that… Teachers need the tools to design, test, gather the evidence of what works, and model benefits and costs Designing learning experiences that use technology for learning is challenging so resilience and robustness are a must! Teachers are the engine of innovation – designing, testing, sharing their best pedagogic ideas Concluding remarks.
