From old-line to online

At a time when we are mulling going paperless (there might be no direct link to save the environment), to what extent can we implement it in the education sector? With new age technology taking rapid strides, new ways and methods of imparting knowledge are cropping up, even at the grassroots level.

Many believe that physical proximity between the teacher and the taught is not relevant anymore. In fact, what really matters now is knowledge transfer, in any form. Getting things done is what matters in today’s cut-throat world.

Earlier, use of internet in the education sector was limited to online admissions and online result announcement. But adopting it as a mode of teaching is a relatively new idea. There are some institutes conducting their examinations online. National institutes such as IIT Mumbai, IIM–Kozikode and IGNOU are providing online courses.

Rathish Babu, CEO of Access Atlantech College, believes online revolution is in the offing. “The future is online. The mode of study or methodology will be a mix of online material interlinked to a library for reference, more of a click -and-view type. Typically the classroom will be simulated online. A large number of subjects that do not require practical working labs will go online. The emphasis will be on quality of content and mentoring rather than on physical meetings. Assessments will replace examinations, skill sets would be acquired through internships and industrial experience would be gained during studying.” Click here to read more...

Managerial attitudes and it's implications

The situation:

One night, Rajul was not feeling well and so he took some medicine to get sound sleep. At the middle of night, his cell phone started to ring continuously but each time it went unanswered. This prompted one of the security staff member to come to his house and wake him up.

The security guard woke up his wife Tosty and informed her that the back door of Rajul’s office has been found open. When she told this to Rajul, he immediately called the senior security guard to get complete information about his office and later decided to visit the spot. Meanwhile, he kept on wondering if anything had been stolen from his office that had so many important documents, including those on the work of one of major tenders that were in process. Before he left the house, his wife asked him to lock the door from outside. Click here to read more..
