According to the UNESCO report, “Schools in 165 countries around the world have closed due to the coronavirus outbreak”, which means there is a new era of online education is coming which is termed as Education 4.0. With the rise of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, there is a rise of technologies like data analytics, robotics, artificial intelligence which is becoming assets in developing Education 4.0. It is necessary for future graduates to mold themselves according to the requirement of the industry.
The whole world is hit by the
pandemic, #COVID-19, or commonly known as Corona Virus. There are more than 3.9 million
cases in the world out of which 0.27 Million have lost their lives. The whole
world is struggling with this disease and there is no medicine or vaccine that is
found or made to date which can surely cure the disease. All sectors i.e.
Primary, Secondary, and tertiary are struggling. In a report, it was said that
there are zero sales of Maruti in the Lockdown period which means from
approximately one month, there is not a single sale of a vehicle from Maruti.
With this Pandemic all sectors
are struggling, the education section is one of them, there is no scope of
physical classes or meetings in the Lockdown period as it violates the Law. To
conquer this, most colleges and educational institutes are coming with
online classes for the students. The Delhi Government already announced to
promote the students to higher levels on the basis of marks obtained in
previous examinations. Most of the colleges and institutes run on the model of
physical classes or where the students can meet the teachers physically at
least at the junior level. But as the Pandemic is growing strong, there is a
rapid increase in the number of cases, which increases the probability of
further lockdown, thus, most of the institutes are shifting their resources to
online mode. Earlier only classes of higher education students are taken the
digital platforms and the junior level institutes are only limited to the
concept of smart classes. But now, from junior to senior level, classes on
online mode are going on across the nation, with the motivation that in the
lockdown period there will be no loss of studies of students and they will be
able to take classes from the comfort of their homes.
#COVID-19 #Online_learning
The major platforms that
institutes are using to run their online classes are the zoom app and Google
Meet. According to the report from The Print, There is a significant increase
in the number of downloads of the apps, from 11 March to 5 April, the zoom app
is downloaded 1.28 crore times across the globe, and in India, it is downloaded
1.25 Lakh times with the period. It becomes the third most downloaded app in
this period after Facebook and PUBG. This shows the increase in demand for the
online meeting app that institutes are using to run their classes. Not only the
online meeting platforms but the online teaching industry apps like Vedantu, BYJU’S,
and Unacademy, there is a rapid increase in the number of downloads of these
apps.
Taking a live example of online teaching,
I would like to quote the example of my college, NDIM (New Delhi Institute of
Management). Our college was able to shift all the learning processes on online
platforms in a very short span of time to fight strongly against #COVID-19. As
a student, we don’t know how much hours our faculty works to shift all their
resources to online platforms. Even our college has finished our curriculum on
time with an effective one week of online study. In the time of the pandemic,
they are able to conduct our examination on an online platform for which they
tested various ways by conducting a mock examination to check which method will
be the most effective method, as NDIM has a rich base of students from all over
the country, so there are certain areas which have network issues, to tackle
that many mock examinations were conducted to check the effective way of
examinations. At last, we have done our whole end-term examination on online
mode, so that there will be no delay in our summer internships. Our Honorable
Prime give focus on digitalization, our college was able to conduct an online
examination and set an example and if this mode gives good results, this
can be used as a case study in the future.

According to the UNESCO report,
“Schools in 165 countries around the world have closed due to the coronavirus
outbreak”, which means there is a new era of online education is coming which
is termed Education 4.0. With the rise of the Industrial Revolution 4.0,
there is a rise of technologies like data analytics, robotics, artificial
intelligence which is becoming assets in developing Education 4.0. It is
necessary for future graduates to mold themselves according to the requirement
of the industry. This lockdown period provides the extra opportunity for the education
sector to develop education 4.0 at a rapid pace and deliver it to the students.
Change is the only constant, it’s time for students to grab this opportunity
and mold themselves according to education 4.0 and become a better version of
themselves.
Online learning has shown
significant growth over the last decade, before #COVID-19, the market forecasts
for the online education market as $350 Billion by 2025, but in this pandemic
time the growth becomes more significant and it is to be sure that the digits
need to be corrected for 2025. The one reason which is prominent in increased
growth of online learning is the requirement of infrastructure, there is the bare
minimum requirement of infrastructure for online learning and it is one option
which is more affordable than traditional learning as it does not require
any commuting costs, all the books, and resources are available online, and most
important it is useful in saving papers.
It’s a fact that online learning
will be going to be a future in the field of education. The mobile platforms
have given assistance to more people to provide benefit from online learning and
this has created a huge database after that machine learning has given
personalized solutions to the course content using big data. In the future,
it will not be surprising to see more elements in the online learning structure
such as virtual reality and augmented reality or more advanced machine learning
algorithms to change learning more.
