Prof. Dr. Daviender Narang, Director, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Ghaziabad shares his views on the new normal mode of education

In digital platforms we were able to deliver much more than the physical classroom, says Prof. Dr. Daviender Narang, Director, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Ghaziabad in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, ArdorComm Media Group.
What is your take on the new normal mode of education and how has your Institute implemented the same to impart education during the unprecedented times?
Well during the pandemic, to teach the teachers how to use the new platform for teaching, how they should use the tools for creating the content, for delivering the lectures, for engaging the student was very important and on the same side for student also, we trained them, we made them ready for how to use these tools. So, within a very short span of time everybody was on the same platform so that they can learn from each other. We are very happy that in the whole pandemic we didn’t lose any time or any curriculum which we couldn’t deliver. In digital platforms we were able to deliver much more than the physical classroom, so that was our experience so far.
How does education events and gatherings like this helps the education fraternity?
In the new normal event everyone is talking about the digital transformation, digital content, the tools and about the challenges so there is a deliberation of all the experts and we are learning from each other. While listening to the discussions there was some new experience they shared with new pedagogy which they experienced, which they delivered in their respective universities and institutions, so that is our takeaway. So, by deliberation of all the people, a new knowledge is creating and everybody is getting that knowledge so when they get back to their own places they will implement this and that’s the important thing.
