Webinar on Skill Development : Role of E-Learning platforms for Up-skilling and Training

Context:

In the digital age, the education sector has seen a proliferation of mobile apps and online learning platforms vying with traditional ways of teaching and of dissemination of knowledge. Technology is being used to augment the learning process in a way that overcomes many of the limitations of a classroom setting. This has been made possible, in part, due to the ability to engage multiple learning pathways, personalized learning plans and real time feedback.

With changing times, we have to envision an environment of blended learning to enhance the experience of its students. There is a push to increase student engagement and meet learning outcomes with online learning modules. In order to take a step in this direction, it becomes necessary to gain an understanding of the status quo of skilling and study how other players in the field are approaching the challenge. With the lockdown on educational institutions unlikely to get over anytime soon, the thrust on e-learning and online classrooms is at an all-time high.
