Blended Teaching Learning and Digitization of Academics

Abstract

During late 2019, the world saw the emergence of a deadly virus SARS-COV2 i.e. CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19 disease). The COVID-19 disease was so life threatening that governments across the world had no choice but to impose Lock-Down in their respective nations. Ultimately, all schools, colleges and other educational institutions were totally closed and all the academic teaching- learning process got digital. Lectures were being conducted in ONLINE mode only and the related study material (teaching contents) was being digitalized. It will be very apt to say that the digital revolution is edging its way into the online classrooms. As we move forward, we would require the same kind of technology to support us in each and every sector. This study would help us to understand why digitization has become so important in education sector. Equal contribution is expected from all the stakeholders like teachers, administrators, students as well as parents. The study has been undertaken with the help of secondary data including reference articles, blogs and relevant websites. At the end we would understand the various challenges related to funding, infrastructure, attitude, etc that are being faced by the education sector for coping up with such technological changes instead of traditional ‘Chalk and Talk’ method.
