Will Online Learning replace the Traditional Classroom

Posted on by Hemant Mahajan

Online Learning vs Classroom Learning

For thousands of years, education has been considered synonymous with traditional classrooms, but with the increasing technology and methods, institutions must opt for modernization and advancement that can lead to the overall growth of institutions, faculty, and most of all students. Various technologies are opting which institutions can create a modern and advanced experience in the classrooms. 

The concept of traditional education has changed over the years and is still on the path of advancement.  Let’s discuss some of the points that can identify whether traditional learning is good or online learning. 

Convenience

Looking upon the learning prospects, online learning is considered the best in today’s time, because it provides and creates a learning environment for learners wherever they want. It allows students to learn in their comfort zone, students can read, study, and learn at their speed having an aim in their mind, But the most important thing with online learning is it requires more concentration and self-motivation to learn. 

Looking upon classroom learning, it involves more time and learners should need to attend the class on regular basis with full concentration as there is no chance of replaying the teacher’s voice, or going back in past and attending the class, this sarcastic truth is the online disadvantage of classroom learning that can be easily ignored using the online learning methods. 

Teaching style

With classroom learning, teaching is often dependent on the teaching style of teachers. Let’s say, if the teacher is saying to repeat and learn something, the students have to follow that method to obey the teacher, this chokes the real grasping and learning capacities of students. Every teacher owns their different style of teaching and students remain with no choice instead follow the instructions given by their respective teachers. 

With the rise of technology, classrooms are being interactive with having multiple options with teachers and students, it provides teachers and students with various options to teach, learn, and grow together. Various technological tools like whiteboards, smart classes, projectors, and applications like Zoom, Skype, and a lot of others have helped educators with lots of learning materials in various formats like audio, images, videos, and texts that gave new hope to the new era of learning. 

Personalization

With online learning, personalization is considered as one of the biggest advantages, it allows every student to create their pattern to learn and grow, students can personalize their content according to their needs and requirements. Along with students it also gives teachers the priority to learn and teach students accordingly. 

With offline learning, personalization of content is becoming difficult as with classroom learning there becomes very few and restricted resources that bind teachers to teach with limited resources ultimately restricting the growth opportunities for modern students. 

Interaction

In this modern world, online learning is also becoming advanced, having a variety of resources like gamification, problem-solving, role-play, storytelling, case studies, speakers, and a lot of others. Good interaction among students and faculty leads to greater scopes of success and growth from both ends. 

In classroom learning, it becomes quite difficult to be in continuous interaction with teachers and students, with this, students only get a chance to interact with faculty in the classroom for a limited time in which it becomes difficult for faculty to solve queries of each student in the right way. 

Analysis

As discussed earlier, classroom settings allow students to learn on-the-spot communication with the teacher, but it does not always provide an exact analysis of students’ progress. Online technological tools like an ERP system provides real and exact data analysis making everything smoother and easier for educational institutions, it provides online access to all the operations from fee, admission, attendance, and examination, everything becomes easier and convenient. It manages everything along with analyzing each factor from faculty, student, and institutional prospect. 

So what’s the conclusion!

So what do you think? Which type of learning method is good for your institution’s growth? Which type of learning is in practice in your institution? Let’s discuss it in more detail, contact us now!

Is this a Beginning of Digital Education in India?

Posted on by Hemant Mahajan

Education in India is changing, student and teacher interaction is not the way it used to be. The transformation from blackboard to the digital board is prevalent and it is growing rapidly. The resource of information is not limited to teachers or books. The curiosity of students is increasing, they don’t have the patience to find answers, they prefer to say “Hey Google” rather than digging books.

Great visionaries were/are able to see this revolution in the education industry. They knew that learning platform like ByJU’s, Khan Academy and NPTEL will gain popularity and trust over traditional mode of learning. These visionaries could see the future of digital education in India.

Not only learning but also managing higher education and schools systems has changed dramatically. Now administrations of educational institutes want to shift to no paper-pen process. Automation of complete academic operation with a single software i.e. Student Management System that can manage all the departments is overwhelming.

Can we say that it is the dawn of digital education in India?
I’ll prefer to say…Yes. But the real grand beginning is yet to happen.

India has a population of 430 million children in the age group 0-18. Of course, all these children have the right to education but do you know how many of them are getting it?

According to the last survey, the enrollment percentage in primary schools is 95%, secondary education is 69% and shockingly the enrollment rate in post-secondary is just 25%.

Reason?

Among 430 million children, India has only around 1.1 million schools in which 97K+ schools are single teacher school. Furthermore, there are 900 universities and 40,000 colleges for higher education in India where the enrollment percentage is only 25%. More than 60% of students(below age 10) dropping from schools in midway.

At present, the overall Student-teacher ratio of India for primary schools is 23:1 in which UP and Bihar have the ratio around 60:1 which is much more than standard. This decreases the quality of teaching and availability of proper resources.

You can see there is a huge gap between students and educators. There is no doubt India is moving toward a modern and more advanced education system. Penetration of education has increased by a big number during the last decades. But to achieve the real potential of this nation, education needs to reach to every single child.

How education will reach every child of our nation?

The answer is Digital Education.

Digital education can fill all the aforementioned gap in our education system. Technology can help to mitigate all the issues. It can increase the quality of learning, reachability of qualified teachers to students in remote areas. Tools like LCD, digital board, free digital library, lesson videos, etc. can help children to gain knowledge in more efficient ways.

Digital penetration of education will help children to grow in all areas. As it is a more interactive way of learning, students will stay engaged to concepts that will be taught, they will pay more attention to details and that will help them to complete assignments on time. One of the most important benefits of digital education is students can learn on their own pace whenever and wherever they want.

Not only in learning the digital revolution in education can also help educational institutes in managing their day-to-day tasks. Student Information Systems can help educators to focus their energy on teaching. It can manage all the administrative operation of institutes.

Conclusion

Digital education in India is ready to pave its way to make an extraordinary transformation for students, educators, and educational organizations. There are many initiatives such as SWAYAM, PRATHAM- LEARN OUT OF THE BOX, etc. are already started by the government of India but we have a long way to go. The collective efforts of tech giants, the government of India and the education industry, can bring the change our nation deserves. It is the dawn digital education in India and the rays are about to brighten the world.

Technology in schools: What are the opportunities and challenges?

Posted on by Hemant Mahajan

Take a look around and see how technology has changed the lives of today. The same is true of technology in schools: it has certainly opened many possibilities. The adoption of technology in schools has a different image in different countries. Some developed countries, such as the United States, are looking for more technologies to integrate into their schools, but countries in the less developed regions of the world are still having difficulty integrating these technologies into their schools. While technology provides many opportunities for educational institutions at all stages, there are gaps that prevent widespread adoption of technology in schools around the world.

There are many opportunities for technology in schools:

When we talk about ways to integrate technology into schools, we can see how technology is already changing the way teachers teach in schools, a departure from text-based learning to something that includes and engages the school’s students. The possibilities are manifold. We speak of four such possibilities that can promote education.

  • A global learning platform is undoubtedly a blessing for the introduction of technology in schools. Students can choose to study a foreign language through video conference from residents of the affected country. Many Websites have created this type of video conferencing learning session, so students can benefit from the training benefits, fewer travel expenses.
  • An undocumented classroom is on its way. Cloud-based apps and tools like Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Docs provide a smarter way to empower students and teachers to learn on a daily basis. A truly affordable option to save more time than traditional teaching methods.
  • A great opportunity for technology in schools lies in the form of virtual reality (link to our blog) in the classroom. Virtual reality can transform lessons into a workflow where students can experience real-world applications in a virtual world.
  • E-books have great potential to change the image of education in the coming days. Many schools in different parts of the world have already discovered the enormous potential of e-books, but some schools do not yet know it.

There are also challenges:

The introduction of technology in schools is certainly not an easy path to success. It has a share of bad spots that need to be found.

  • Leaving the comfort zone and adopting technology in schools may be one of the biggest challenges. In most cases, teachers and school authorities are reluctant to experiment with new technologies in the classroom, believing that these experiments go beyond their job description
  • Technology in schools has another setback: Most schools are reluctant to set up correspondence courses, unlike universities that have already integrated the online courses
  • The cost factor remains a major challenge for the introduction of technology in schools. Most schools lack the resources to support the use of technology in schools. The purchase and installation of the technology are associated with the acquisition costs. In addition, the costs of maintenance, service, and modernization are associated with running costs, which are sometimes financially unsustainable for most kindergartens through to 12th-grade schools

There are challenges to master; However, the most important test is facing these challenges, overcoming and accepting technologies in schools, and revolutionizing education by offering students better opportunities.

5 Mistakes Institutions Are Doing While Choosing Education ERP

Posted on by Hemant Mahajan

When it comes to choosing an Education ERP solution for an institution, decision-makers and administration do multiple mistakes. It is assumed that educators are the decision-maker when selecting an EdTech for an institute, but it’s not like that. Upper management, administration, and educators all are responsible to make a decision for any advancement in their institution.

As they are representative of the institute they are supposed to make effective decisions and set an example for their followers. But it is not always the case. After analyzing various decision-makers of institutes, we realize that there are various mistakes they are making while selecting an Education Technology Solution (Software).

Below are the five such mistakes institutions are making which should be taken care of:

Ignoring the needs of the institution

There are different pain areas for different institutions. Some institutions are able to manage their fee and bill payments some are not. Some institutes provide transportation services for students and employees some do not. There are various kinds of needs for institutions and according to them, there are many EdTech solutions available in the market.

Due to competition and ignorance toward the needs of their institution, they get distracted by multiple options of technology in the market. It is the responsibility of administration and decision-makers to consult with teachers, and discuss with students about the actual need of the institution so that they can avoid waste of time and money on implementing the wrong technology.

Adopting an EdTech that they don’t comprehendInstitutions mistakes when choosing education erp software

The main purpose of implementing an EdTech in schools of higher education institutions is to increase overall efficiency in the management processes. This can be achieved if users understand what they are using.

Many times decision-makers in institutes end up buying technology that they don’t understand completely and the whole purpose of using the solution goes haywire.

Therefore, it is important for institutions they make sure that teachers, students, and other staff members understand what technology they are going to use before buying it.

Not having a proper strategy for technology usage

Technology implementation should be done with a proper plan. Users should know what could be done with the technology in hand. It is the responsibility of the administration department to make a technological model and share it with every other employee, what function is acceptable and what is not. To make the most of technology, it is important to have a strategy for technology usage.

Not preparing educators and other staff

This is the most common mistake that institutions are making while choosing EdTech solutions for their institute. Educators, students, and other management staff are the important user of any technology update in an institute. In spite of that institutes usually, ignore this fact and pre-assume that they will be able to use any technology easily. It is very important to prepare and train educators and other members before making any technological changes within an institution.

Not getting proper training

Education ERP solution providers usually offer implementation and product training. They also provide customer support later on for any query. It is the utmost priority of an institute to have thorough training on the product after the purchase and before implementation.

Without comprehensive training, there will be no output of the product. The administration department of institutes should have a team member from all other departments for the training so that the technology can be used easily and efficiently.

Bottom Line

When choosing an Education ERP for schools or higher education, it is crucial to do a proper analysis of technology, available choices, research of the market, and the status of the institution.

It is obvious to get distracted by the multiple options available and the hype of competition. The main objective should always be kept in mind that you are choosing an EdTech solution to make academic processes streamline, fast and cost-effective not complex and confusing.

Do you know the implementation of an Education ERP can help you to save up to 50% on the operating cost of your institution?

How Education Is Being Impacted In The Era Of Automation?

Posted on by Hemant Mahajan

It is not hidden that automation is spreading multidimensionally. We are living on the cusp of automation; robots, artificial intelligence, machine learning, bionic hands, etc are not new. Of course, any advancement or new features still makes us wonder about the capability of science but we are very much aware of its existence in our world.

Why automation?

This era requires a more advanced, efficient, and skilled processing system all around. There is no place for lazy, unproductive work quality no matter what kind of work you are involved with. Business, retail, education, customer service, banking sector, cleaning, etc. everything is running towards advancement.

Time management, productivity, and efficiency have become key principles in the workforce. All these elements for better functionality are being accomplished by technological advancement i.e. Automation.

Being a part of an education domain, my concern moves toward the education sector.

What is automation in education?

NO, I am not talking about a bionic or robotic teacher to deal with students. It will take a few more years to reach there. I am talking about automation in the processing system, in management which is already here.

A study in the US higher education system by a professor at California University found that administrators grew from 3800 to 12,183 between 1974 and 2008 i.e. 221% increase while faculty grew by just 10%. You can have an idea that a huge amount of money is being spent on operational management.

The main goal of the education sector is to attract and educate more students more efficiently yet much of the spending and focus is being given to the administration department.

In this time of automation, there are technologies that ready to streamline and manage administrative tasks effectively. In spite of spending extra money, institutions can arm their staff with these technologies for efficient, productive, smooth academic processes. This would liberate resources for the activities that will directly affect the main objectives – Student and Educators.

Impact of Automation On Education

There are many levels in which automation can impact education altogether. Institutes that are updated with technology such as Education ERP, reshaping the productivity of administrative processes, increasing connectivity between students and teachers, improving the working efficiency of educators and being more creative.

On Teachers

An Education ERP such as Student Management System helps teachers to manage their work in a more integrated and aligned way. This EdTech comes with potential features: record attendance in real-time with the flexibility of time, assignment allotment, grading, and scheduling time table or session diary. These features save a lot of time that free teachers to focus on delivering knowledge which is their main purpose.

On Student

Students in the current time spectrum are more tech-savvy and they are eager to learn more and more. Students are affected most by automation. They get feedback, remark from their educators on a real-time basis, avail all the documents in one platform, upload documents without standing in a long line. With the implementation of automation, they are able to develop a better and meaningful relationship with their educators as both are saving time from tedious academic work.

On Academic Administrative Processes

If you were ever a part of an education system whether in school, higher education, or training institute, you must have a rough idea of how an education institution runs – With tonnes of academic processes. Academic administrative processes perform many back-office tasks like; keeping attendance and document records of each student from each year, maintaining new admission, resolving inquiries, managing bills, payments, payroll of employees and so on. It is the responsibility of the admin department to run things smoothly and effectively. Automation is helping to achieve the overall goal of this department. Everything can be controlled and managed with potential Education ERP software. Automation helping staff members to be more creative and innovative which will help the education institute in the long run.

On Concluding Note

Automation is making the workforce productive in various industries but there is a lot to cover in the Education Industry. As it is one of the most important areas of our social cycle, it needs to be updated with the current EdTech and ready for future possibilities. Many institutions are already availing benefits from automation. It is the responsibility of the government, influencers, decision-makers of the education industry to take a step towards empowering the education system with automation. Moreover, it is the responsibility of us to make it fully functional.

Not only between parents and student but communication also plays an important role between faculties and students. If a student is updated with all the lessons, assignment details, faculty’s availability and other related information; his awareness will increase and he will perform better. Same goes for faculty.

Here comes the need for a proper system that can enhance the connectivity among all the stakeholders of an institute.
