The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a major change in the way that education is provided to and accessed in the Indian educational system.

Definition of Digital Education

Whether it be face-to-face, asynchronous or synchronous distant learning, or blended learning, digital education is a strategy or method of learning that incorporates technology and new digital devices/tools. Through the use of this new technology environment, each student can obtain information and knowledge from any location in the nation.

Imagine saying goodbye to conventional teaching techniques where teachers use smart digital whiteboards instead of chalkboards and students use tablets or smartphones instead of textbooks. Digitization in Indian education makes it possible to reach kids in the most rural areas of the nation, outpacing problems like a teacher shortage, a poor student-teacher ratio, and a lack of instructional materials.

The Educational Landscape

Due to the rapid advancement of technology over the past several years, the educational landscape in India has undergone a significant upheaval. The government of India’s audacious and ambitious Digital India goal serves as the impetus for this new era in education. The government’s Digital India vision aims to transform India into a digitally empowered society and knowledge economy by providing the advantages of technology to every citizen. This is a tremendous opportunity for Indian education and has the ability to dramatically speed up the adoption of digital technologies in the classroom.

India’s educational institutions are gradually but steadily adopting digital technology as they see the enormous opportunities it offers. Giving students access to digital tools and technology can drastically change their learning processes, moving them away from a passive and classroom-focused learning environment and towards one that is more dynamic, engaging, and interesting. Learning is no longer confined to the classroom alone and extends beyond the bounds of traditional textbook, teacher-led learning thanks to the advent of technology in education that provides an anytime, anywhere learning environment. With the aid of cutting-edge digital tools, collaborative, self-discovery-based learning is facilitated in the context of digital education, which frees students from the constraints of fixed-location learning and makes their experience more enriching and engaging.

Way ahead

All the stakeholders in the education ecosystem, including the government and commercial and public organizations, must work together to realize this audacious goal of digitizing the educational landscape in India.
