Online is the future of Education in the New Education Policy
Yes! Online is the future of Education. We started Skill Development in 1988 and Online Education in 2002 from Regional College Sangathan which runs a network of 377 Colleges all over India and abroad.
Online schooling gained popularity, especially after the outbreak of COVID-19. The suspension of schools and institutions affected 1.37 billion students in 138 nations worldwide. It led to switching from the physical classroom to platforms like Meet, Zoom, Skype, and Google Classroom, among others, to interact with students.
Flexibility of Time: The primary benefit of online learning is the flexibility that students can adapt to fit their learning pace and other extracurricular activities. Full-time online schools provide a customized study schedule based on the student's family commitments, other skill-building pursuits, and internet accessibility. Small families, parents with very mobile employment, and those with transferrable jobs who find it challenging to frequently visit the school or accompany their kids on a set schedule can all benefit from it. Additionally, a flexible study schedule liberates students from the excessive pressure to study and finish their homework and projects by a certain hour.
Encourages Comprehensive & Lifelong Learning: Online learning is a highly effective way to spark students' interest in and help them understand various subjects owing to the proper application of tech and other AR and VR technologies in the classroom. Students can visualize the lessons more vividly when diverse technology resources, such as 3-dimensional visuals and movies, are used in addition to the classroom. It keeps them interested and eager to learn while also empowering them to independently search for, consider, and comprehend the numerous facets of a subject in their own manner.
Inexpensive Source of Learning: Online education is more affordable in the long run since it saves parents a lot of money on transportation and school supplies. It significantly lowers costs associated with assuring a child's safety while they are out, as well as the daily, minor, and recurrent costs associated with dining out and upkeep of all types.
Time Saver: Unlike traditional schooling which requires years of preparation and months of waiting for the results of the final exams, the digital implementation of the classes allows us to access the material immediately, administer exams while comfortably sitting at home, and receive the results instantly (or within a few days) on our smartphones and laptops. This reduces stress and saves a great deal of time.
Caters Individually to the Students: Students can communicate directly with their teachers through email or other platforms designed with this goal. With this, individuals may express their learning challenges and ask any questions they may have without worrying about being criticized or made fun of by their classmates. This significantly increases the desire to make errors without fear and learn from them.
Students Acquire Technical Expertise: One of the biggest benefits of virtual learning is the development of relevant skills. This is because students who attend online classes develop lifelong independence as learners. The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) states that students must be trained for jobs of the future. To do this, we must focus on 21st-century abilities like technological understanding. The future of the post-Covid world is undoubtedly one of digital literacy and technical proficiency. One cannot expect our students to thrive in a competitive environment without these.
