The Role of Schools in Education As We Enter The New Normal

/ Blogs, Education Community

Something we never thought has already happened to all of us! For students, their schools are literally their homes now. We have almost reached the year’s end and even though it may seem like students are becoming comfortable with virtual classes, that’s not the case with everyone. In the pre-pandemic schooling system, kids were developing holistically as the real-time experiences and interactions in class, with friends and with the staff resulted in the overall development of a person. Now, we are looking at a system where the child has to starfish across an ocean to reach the shore.  From the health and safety angle, new variants of COVID-19 like the Omicron are taking over some areas of the globe. So, we can expect that the schools and the education and learning scenario will not restore to normalcy. There’s only one way to move forward and that is to plan a hybrid system for kids and the staff.  Let’s delve deeper to understand the kinds of changes and additions that will take place in the functioning of schools to redefine the notion of education in 2022 and so on.  Mental and Emotional Health Will Take the Center Stage With so much turmoil and trauma faced by the world’s inhabitants due to the pandemic, there has been a devastating impact on children’s mental and emotional health. It is also important to note here that the Indian society is still not aware about the extent of repercussions that untreated mental health issues can cause. Therefore, to make the future more of these kids secure, we need to teach them about mental and emotional health. The kids must be able to understand and reach out to others incase of any kind of emotional or mental trauma. The future needs empathetic and knowledgeable leaders! If you teach kids about mental health now, they will be able to navigate stressful situations in life using the right path.  Extracurricular Activities Must Not Just be Extra With two years into the pandemic, do you know what kids miss most? The answer is their friends, fun activities and social interactions. We all know that schools are the actual place students discover their hobbies, talents and areas of interests. Extracurricular activities like art competitions, talent shows, debated, etc. actually encourages students to be a part of something bigger than themselves.  Confidence, camaraderie and trust are just some of the things students learn from co-curricular activities. So, rather than organizing these activities once or twice a month, it should be organized on a daily basis for at least some amount of time for students to feel rejuvenated from their daily schedules.  Personalized Learning is Here to Stay As teachers have to teach a hybrid class, they have to match the wavelength of students in-person and online. Managing both kinds of audiences is a tough nut to track. Some students who are in the class might be finding it easy to go along with the teacher’s pace, while students at home must be lagging behind due to a number of reasons like low connectivity.  How can we resolve this issue? The gift of virtual learning is that students can learn at their own pace. New edtech platforms and vendors are designing state-of-the-art interactive platforms for students to learn from. Be it handing over of assignments or exams, learning and performing tasks can be entirely personalized. Each and every one of us have a different pace and a distinctive way of thinking, so personalized learning in schools comes as a boon.  Digital Technologies and Audiobooks Every year in the education landscape, there are hundreds of new policies and innovations. However, India is slow to adapt all of them at a steady pace. In recent times, digital technologies have scaled to a level that they are actually thinking about creating sentient technologies. Imagine that!  On the other hand, technology for education, educators and students has come a long way. There are various edtech platforms and technologies like data analytics, cloud computing, AR/VR, etc. that schools are leveraging for innovating and revolutionizing education and learning. It is better for educators and students to familiarize themselves with new technologies as it is the only way forward.  If we think in terms of people who can’t read or find it difficult to perceive written text, audiobooks are slowly catching up with the emerging trends in education. As a suggestion, maybe schools and educators could convert textbooks into audiobooks so that students can access them anytime and anywhere. It will also be more engaging, enticing and easy to understand if we consider a diverse group of students.  Final Words To conclude, I would like to say that we live in an era where the emotional quotient (EQ) of a person is just as important as their IQ, even more so. We don’t know what the future holds for us and the only way forward is focusing on imparting a robust education to students so they grow up to the revolutionary leaders we need.  Adapting to new technologies, focusing on extra-curricular activities and giving students their space to learn is the best we can give them to ensure the continuity of quality education.

The Trend of Lifelong Learning In Education 4.0

/ Blogs, Education Community

When a human being comes to life, the desire to develop personally and professionally starts taking shape. As we all know by now, education is one of the most important aspects of life. In order to help the society, contribute to the world economy, establish your standard of living, you need good education. Most importantly, to be an asset for yourself and those around you, you need a goal which automatically comes from learning and development throughout the years.  Let’s take a look at what lifelong learning really means.  What is lifelong learning? In layman terms, lifelong learning simply means a desire to initiate a self-induced education focused on personal development. Mostly, lifelong learning is associated with learning and development that occurs outside a formal institution. However, there’s no standard definition to the term. Lifelong learning can also mean a formal education with the voluntary desire to achieve personal fulfilment.  After the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for online education and distance learning skyrocketed. As a result, not only are people learning new things apart from their formal education, they are actually choosing career streams and job opportunities based on other sources of education and learning.  In a way, it can be said that the pandemic has produced a generation of youth that is multitalented with varied interests. Also, in a country like India where lakhs and crores of graduates go into the market every year, it is the need of the hour to optimize, upgrade and upskill yourself.  Therefore, the demand for skilled individuals has boosted the concept of lifelong learning. Nowadays, corporates, universities and schools constantly encourage their stakeholders to familiarize themselves with the latest trends and tools in the market. When a person enthusiastically partakes in the quest for constant and continued learning, then it can be termed as a perfect example of lifelong learning.  What is the importance of lifelong learning in a person’s life? It doesn’t matter if you are pursuing your personal or professional interests, lifelong learning can help you achieve inner satisfaction. It aims at bringing out the natural human drive to be curious and explore new things.  Lifelong learning can help you by: It can help you recognize your true passion, drive and interest It can help you achieve mental, emotional, social and intellectual satisfaction Constant learning and growing will help you improve your self-worth It will help you by defining and working towards your goals more clearly and concisely Who are lifelong learners? The answer to the above question is not tricky! We are all lifelong learners in some or the other way. Our schools, colleges, institutions, jobs and most importantly – life – are constantly teaching us something new a mile a minute.  Everyday socialization, formal trainings, self-studies or research on new trends and topics are all examples of lifelong learning. In the end, we learn for ourselves, not for others, because one can only impart knowledge when they themselves know about the topic at length. Thus, a forever quest of learning and gaining knowledge for personal fulfilment is lifelong learning.  Why are people indulging in lifelong learning? Despite formal education and training at various levels, a person may have deviated interests which may require him or her to be skilled at something niche. In addition, a person or a student may just be curious to know about new things. With the advancement in technology, penetration of internet and presence on social media, people can easily identify the latest trends and topics. Therefore, it can be said that as people are becoming increasingly self-aware, the hunger to power through, discover new things, network and invent is escalating. To quench this thirst, people are engaging in lifelong learning through various mediums. With the click of a button, you can have easy access to courses, knowledge and insights.  What are some real-time examples of lifelong learning in Education 4.0? For better understanding, let’s take a look at some simple examples that can be classified under lifelong learning in modern-day education.  Learning a new technology: Adapting to and learning new software, tools and smart devices Developing new skills: cooking, sewing, programming, dancing, singing, painting, etc.  Learning a new sport: Cricket, basketball, football, martial arts, self-defense, etc.  Self-taught learning: Learning a new language, starting a podcast, researching and writing on topic of interests and the list goes on…  Platforms that enable lifelong learning Almost all internet platforms encourage users to engage in lifelong learning. The major source for lifelong learning is the web or the internet.  Platforms like Udemy, Lifelong Learning Platform (LLP), Coursera, Skillshare, Edx, MasterClass, General Assembly, Khan Academy, Byjus and much more encourage learning from anywhere and everywhere. Due to their flexibility, personalized and user-centric patterns, they are the most popular lifelong learning and development platforms in Education 4.0.  Final words In order to figure out your personal and professional goals, you must always keep an open mind and be reciprocative towards change. In a time when the world is going through multiple upheavals, you must always be ready to upskill, learn and help out. In a herd full of sheep, if you want to be a game changer, you must constantly learn and develop through any means possible. Engaging in lifelong learning is already a major trend and you must undergo at least some sort of learning everyday to achieve inner and mental peace.

3 Challenges While Choosing a Career Path and How To Solve Them!

/ Blogs, Education Community

Are you stressed about choosing a right career path? Well, you don’t have to worry about it. In today’s ever changing job market and global economy, there are always new things to switch and merge into. If you are not sure on what to follow for the rest of your life, you can invest your time in finding short term goals. After a certain point of time (or experimenting), you can switch to other things you like. You can find your long-term goals while doing other things. One thing that we are pressured into by our families, mentors, schools, universities, teachers and the society is to find a job that pays! Earning money is certainly a very big part of your life, but you shouldn’t let your decisions and thought processes be crowded with it. You career path should be related to things you internally like and it should be rewarding emotionally, mentally and physically. The modern-day youth doesn’t like to stick to one thing! They love to explore and that is what is constantly pushing innovations in the market. However, if you are stressed about taking a decision for you career, here are a few challenges that you might face. 1)     Lack of Right Guidance Well, we are not saying that you won’t find guidance or people to talk to about your interests. In the information and social era, it is very easy to connect with people who share the same interests. But sometimes, too much information or the wrong sources may derail you from your path to the right door. Hence, instead of basing decisions on generic advice, you should let your intuition and inner voice guide you. Interacting with people from the same field may be the best option to go with, but do not let certain demerits or difficulties waiver you to choose a different option. Connecting with the right advisors or stakeholders will help you garner important insights to form a base for your decision. 2)     Parental and Peer Pressure (Yes, it still exists!) Our parents come from a time when they were either hushed to work for tasks they weren’t interested in, or they simply had to work somewhere because there weren’t any other lucrative options at the time. Only a few pursued their real dreams and landed their dream jobs. Often you will hear your peers or parents discuss about how problematic it is to get into certain type of career paths, but don’t let those discussions cloud your judgement. Every person has a different ability, IQ and EQ. One other problem with parental and peer pressure is that it tends to make you a part of the herd mentality. Maybe your parents and peers are very supportive about the decisions you want to make for yourself, but if you have over indulging parents who are trying to push you into certain career paths just because other people have made it big there, you shouldn’t get influenced by it. You should most importantly, try to understand that it is not necessary to match your academic achievements with your career path. If you want to pursue music, sports or art, you should definitely go for it. Everything is possible with good research and determination! Try researching as much as you can from various sources before making a decision. After you are sure, you can try convincing your parents with facts, figures and most importantly, “Why” you want to make the choice for yourself. 3)     Foreign Opportunities and Salary-Based Decisions Many students are captivated by videos, pictures and the lifestyle that people live outside India. That all sounds great, but you should not base your career decisions just because you want to go abroad or someone else in your group is doing it. You have to think from a rational mind about the field you are opting for and the country you want to choose. It is a struggle for many students to settle down abroad, however, opting for the right courses, the right country and the right university will help you get a decent job. You should always research or talk to people you know who are working in foreign countries before coming to a conclusion. The other dilemma that all students go through is choosing between things they actually like and choosing between a career path that will give them economical leverage. However, things you have to consider before taking salary-based decisions are: If you actually like the job Will you fit in well with the environment? Will it give you mental peace and satisfaction? If you are good at it Will you able to stay healthy and fit at the job? All of the above-mentioned factors may seem unimportant now, but as you start progressing and working, a healthy and positive work environment is must for your overall wellbeing. Conclusion Do not let fear, money, pressure or greed guide your decision-making. Choosing a career path is crucial for your life and so is deciding to switch to something else later. Do not let the fear of low bank balance dominate your true calling. You should try to explore new things as much as you like. With the right research, a healthy mind and the zeal to stay relevant, you can figure out the best career paths for yourselves.

Why Social Media Dominates The Entire Digital Marketing Industry!

/ Blogs

Quote: “The power of social media is that it forces necessary change.” Erik Qualman   Introduction If you ask yourself, why are you eating what you are eating, why are you wearing what you are wearing, why are you going to a particular place, the answers to all these questions would be, “I saw it on social media.” Whether we like it or not, social media has seeped into our daily lives and it now influences almost all the decisions we make. Gone are the days when brochures, banners and posters disseminated news. In the digital age, everything happens at the click of a button. All businesses, whether B2B or B2C, have been forced to adapt to digitization and media. To rise through the ranks amongst the cut-throat competition in the industry, you need social media marketing. All age groups, including children and the elderly, are constantly surfing social media for the daily dose of their news. Let’s delve deeper to understand why people love social media and what makes it very essential. Reason 1- It Takes You On a Visual Journey People love social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook because they convey their messages through images or videos. If your post is too text-heavy, there’s a high chance that your audience might entirely skip it. Hence, new-era marketers, digital content creators and influencers leverage images, videos and reels to engage the user. Since it is instant, people enjoy going through it and searching for more. Pro Tip: If you want to be a successful marketer in the modern age, be visual and colourful on social media. Reason 2- The User Can Interact in Real-Time One major reason for social media being so popular among Gen Z is that any of your followers, users or customers can reply or comment on your post immediately. Social media reduces the pain of going through multiple channels to communicate and connect with the concerned stakeholder. By engaging in the comment section, you can directly connect with the concerned person and multiple other users to know their opinion or share your own. Apart from reacting and writing comments, you can directly message the person you are interested to partner or collaborate with. Instant messaging makes action-reaction time 10 times faster. As a result, businesses are turning to social media channels and accounts to connect with new prospects and convert their leads. Reason 3- Freedom of Expression People and businesses are very free and relaxed on social media. Gone are the days of traditional marketing. Social media has given everyone a platform to take the podium and speak their hearts out. In addition, you can express what you really feel without having the inhibitions of anyone holding you back. Your opinion belongs to you and it is very easy to find and connect with like-minded audiences through your social accounts. The recent trends on social media include memes and reels. Don’t be surprised! Even B2B and B2C conglomerates have taken to social media marketing and influencing through funny videos and memes of their own. Humour is a great way to captivate the attention of the audience. On social channels, one can easily talk about their challenges and pain points to meet with multiple solution providers commenting on their posts. This phenomenon has propelled a lot of international collaborations and knowledge exchanges. Thus, social media empowers the audience and businesses to share the true extent and intent of their feelings. Reason 4- Easy Regulations With social media, you are not tethered to anything. You are a free bird! There aren’t a very strict set of defined legal regulations and policing when it comes to social media. As a result, it removes a lot of barriers in the paths of businesses and users to convey their message to their audience. For some of us, posting on social media is a daily chore. How difficult is it? However, users must be wary of cyber frauds, copyright infringement and fake users and accounts. It is better to have cybersecurity experts on board with your business if you are a big hit on social media. Reason 5- Free Services Who doesn’t like free services? The major reason for businesses and the general public to use social media is that it doesn’t cost you any money. If you have to make an account, you can do it for free. If you have to promote your services, you can do it free. However, paid advertising is on the rise and it helps you achieve higher traction on social channels. Conclusion To share a few last words, we live and breathe social media content in this era. To stay ahead of the curve, you need exclusive content and amazing social media accounts to increase your followers. In fact, many recruiters, potential clients and competitors look you up on social media before taking any decision. Therefore, if you are behind on promoting your business, whether macro, small or big on social media, you should start doing it now!

Hybrid Learning: The Future of Education

/ Blogs

With the ascent of education technology, schools have embraced instructing techniques that veer from the average classroom environment. Distance learning is being utilized at a worldwide scale, and numerous educational foundations are beginning to carry out hybrid learning models. What Is Hybrid Learning? Hybrid learning is an educational model where a few students go to class face to face, while others join the class basically from home. Instructors show remote and in-person students simultaneously utilizing apparatuses like video conferencing equipment and programming. Sometimes, hybrid classes incorporate non concurrent learning components, as online activities and pre-recorded video guidance, to help eye-to-eye classroom meetings. At the point when arranged well, hybrid courses join the best parts of face to face and web based learning while at the same time making education more feasible for some students. For hybrid learning to be fruitful, the components of your hybrid course should be custom-made to the learning design, regardless of whether it be face to face or on the web. Hybrid versus Blended Learning Hybrid learning and blended learning can regularly be confused with each other, and both contain a large number of similar informative components. Notwithstanding, both are two particular learning models. Blended learning joins face to face educating with non concurrent learning strategies, where students work on web-based activities and watch informative recordings during their own time. Hybrid learning is a showing technique where educators train face to face and far off students simultaneously. In hybrid learning models, non concurrent showing techniques can be utilized to enhance simultaneous, up close and personal guidance. Hybrid Learning Consortium The Hybrid Learning Consortium is a worldwide learning local area of free schools that creates online courses for center and upper school students. The HLC accepts that web based learning is setting down deep roots, however up close and personal learning won’t ever stop to be pertinent. By making on the web academic encounters that are similarly pretty much as open as classroom illustrations, HLC accepts the undiscovered conceivable outcomes of hybrid learning. With joining forces schools all throughout the planet, students are presented to instructors and cohorts with a generally impossible perspective. Advantages of Hybrid Learning Both up close and personal and web based learning have their advantages and shortcomings. The objective of hybrid learning is to consolidate the two arrangements to make a particular learning experience with practically no shaky areas. The advantages of hybrid learning are: An adaptable learning experience: Many schools change to hybrid learning for adaptability: an adaptable learning plan, adaptability in showing modes, adaptability in how students draw in with their learning materials, and adaptability in joint effort and correspondence among peers and their educator. For students who can’t go to classes face to face, the hybrid learning environment permits them to gain from a distance from home. Simultaneous correspondence openings: Not many learning encounters match the instantaneousness and closeness of in-person academic conversations. The eye to eye part of hybrid learning benefits from the chance for continuous commitment between peers. This time is best utilized for coordinated gathering work, introductions with a Q&A piece, and profound discussions. Exploit the in-person time you have together to shape significant, academic connections, and afterward take those connections on the web. The opportunity of free academic investigation: Web based learning accompanies numerous opportunities. Those students who dominate at self-administration and autonomous learning will flourish under these opportunities: the opportunity to gain from the area fitting their personal preference, the opportunity to return to materials quite a few times at any speed, and the opportunity to foster an inside and out non concurrent talk with your friends. More productive utilization of assets: Very much like when you go to a gathering that you know might have been an email, it tends to be disappointing to go to an in-person class where every one of the students are accomplishing individual virtual work. When arranging your prospectus and planning which classes will occur on the web and which are eye to eye, consider what assets you will require for every illustration and plan appropriately, streamlining the utilization of assets. Hybrid Learning Model Class Structure While organizing your new hybrid course, make certain to give yourself plentiful opportunity to design your materials and exercises. The focal point of preparation a hybrid class is to ensure that every task is done in the right configuration, rather than a stringently face to face or online class where you know the mechanism of every task.

Digital Health: A Vision of Modern India 2021

/ Blogs, Health & Wellness Community

  1. What is Digital Health Technology? The World Health Organization (WHO) defines digital health as the “application of organized knowledge and skills in the form of devices, medicines, vaccines, procedures, and systems developed to solve a health problem and improve quality of lives.” To explain the term more efficiently, the use of computing platforms, software and sensors for healthcare and wellness of the entire population is known as digital health technology. It is a broad multidisciplinary concept that blends health and technology together to support the equitable and universal distribution of healthcare services across the globe. Soon, the medical fraternity and healthcare technology experts will share their acquired digital health intelligence with the world and impoverished nations to eradicate diseases and anomalies. We are looking towards a future that will leverage practices like telehealth and telemedicine to treat patients. 2. Digital Health Innovations The healthcare system of India has always been burdened with the overwhelming population of the country rushing to hospitals for treatment. On top of it, the pandemic posed myriad complexities for the country’s healthcare system. India still doesn’t enjoy overall and equitable distribution and access to technology which has caused digital health inequalities in various parts of the country. However, many technology startups are emerging in the digital health market with brilliant solutions that could help a huge chunk of the population remotely. Digital health innovations in the country include: Mobile health Health and wellness applications Big Data Telehealth Electronic medical records with interoperability of data Personal genomics Diagnostics Medical imaging Wearable technologies (fitness trackers, medical devices, etc.) Technologies to support integrated care [Source: RGNUL, Research Paper] During the pandemic, the government came up with a GPS-tracking system to track the movement of the patients who were quarantined at their homes. This means that with increasing necessity, there will be more innovations to suit online medical assistance. 3. Digital Health Trends As digital tools begin to have fundamental impacts on medical assistance and patient care, new innovations and tools will act as facilitators of digital health in India.
