Dr. Vinay S, Director, Seshadripuram Institute of Management Studies, Shares Insights on Technology Implementation in Education

“We’re transitioning from traditional coaching to modern technology, including MOOCs and ERP-related systems,” says Dr. Vinay S, Director, Seshadripuram Institute of Management Studies, in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSABengaluru #ELSAKarnataka

How was your experience to witness this New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Bengaluru?

This is the second time I am coming. ArdorComm organized it beautifully to connect institutions and leaders. We interacted to discuss the state of the education system, its link with companies, new technologies, and what we can adopt to enhance knowledge from both institutional and student perspectives. It’s a great platform for self-improvement.

How are you implementing technology in your institution?

Our institution, Seshadripuram Institute of Management Studies, part of an educational trust, is 93 years old. I head the Management Studies department, which is 23 years old. We’re transitioning from traditional coaching to modern technology, including MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and ERP-related systems. We’re also using the Learning Management System (LMS) model.

How does this kind of forum benefit the education sector at large?

It’s definitely beneficial, but the challenge is in how we adopt these changes and show interest. If we show interest, the next generation of students will benefit. If not, they might miss out on opportunities.

ArdorComm Media Group has completed two years of its journey, any messages or good wishes for us?

I’m very happy; this is the second time I am coming. They’ve beautifully arranged it, and they keep updating us with information. I congratulate ArdorComm and wish them all the best. We expect more from them in the future.
