I believe similar programs should be organized in different places to educate educators, learners, and institution owners about the changes and advancements in education. Academicians should come forward and take the next steps to contribute to the growth of our nation. How is your institution implementing technology in education? We had already initiated the implementation of various technologies for education even before COVID-19. However, the pandemic has accelerated our efforts to adopt these programs and technologies faster. We are utilizing different types of technology in education, examinations, and skill development of students. What message would you like to convey to ArdorComm Media Group?

“Whatever I learned today, I will deliver the same to all the faculty members in our institution,” says Dr. I. Cicil Ignatius, Head of the Department, Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Engineering College in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSAChennai #ELSATamilNadu How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Chennai? I feel very proud and happy to participate in this event. Actually, I did not know about these activities. I casually came across it on Facebook and clicked on it. A person contacted me and conducted an interview about me and my institution. I didn’t expect it to go to this extent, but the resource persons and the content they delivered were marvellous. I gained a lot of information regarding admissions, reverberation acoustics of buildings, and new software related to the progression of an institution. I’m very thankful to New Normal scheme. Whatever I learned today, I will deliver the same to all the faculty members in our institution. It will be a great support to our institution and me. I learned a lot. Thank you. In this kind of forum where we bring together education leaders, EdTech experts, and government representatives, how does this benefit the education sector? I noticed that this forum mainly focuses on higher officials, but it does not give much importance to the basic needs of the students. If teaching strategies were also involved in this program, the teachers would benefit more. The learning process is the main root cause of institutions, and if more importance is given to teaching and learning processes, it would be very beneficial for teachers and students. I hope in future programs, this aspect will be included. I’m happy to participate in future programs as well. Thank you. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group? It’s a wonderful program. You are doing a service to society, especially to the education sector. It is very essential and important nowadays.

“We utilized platforms like Google Classroom to share study materials and assignments,” said Prof. Dr. R. Haritha Devi, Director, Research Publications & Academic, The Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSAChennai #ELSATamilNadu How are you feeling to witness The New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Chennai? I think I’m very happy and delighted to be part of this event. A huge thanks to the organizers for conducting it. I believe it’s a great encouragement for people who want to learn through new technologies. There’s always a controversy about whether new technology will advance education or not, and there are difficulties that some people face. For example, some students feel that traditional classroom teaching is better. However, events like this can change that perspective and show that new technologies can be implemented effectively. Can you tell us how you are implementing technology in your university? Definitely. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to adapt to online modes of teaching. We utilized platforms like Google Classroom to share study materials and assignments. In our classrooms, we have digital boards and frequently use PowerPoint presentations. So, we have embraced digitalization in our teaching methods. What does “New Normal” mean to you? How do you define it? “New Normal” means keeping up with technology. As technology evolves, we also need to grow and adapt. We can’t cling only to traditional methods. So, for me, the “New Normal” in education involves embracing and integrating technology. In events like this, where the education fraternity, corporates, and government come together, how do you think it benefits the education sector? Technology undoubtedly benefits the education sector. However, my concern is whether we are compromising the privacy of both teachers and students in the name of technology. We need to find a balance and ensure that technology doesn’t overpower us. Forums like this can address these concerns and help maintain a balance while spreading knowledge. Any message you would like to share for ArdorComm Media Group? I think this is a very commendable initiative. Congratulations to the institution for organizing this event. It should be taken forward. The key is to maintain a balance in education and ensure that knowledge is spread effectively while conquering technology rather than letting it conquer us. Top of Form
