Classes in Cloud: Online teaching becomes order of the day amid lockdown
For the past few weeks, Father Muller Medical College in
Mangaluru, Karnataka, is conducting virtual surgery classes for its students.
In New Delhi, a pre-school is teaching kids rhymes and conducting online
classes daily for each toddler. Education group PES has replicated online the
entire physical campus experience for its schools, engineering and medical
colleges across Karnataka, with over 1,000 classes being held daily.
At
a time when India is under a nationwide lockdown to fight the coronavirus pandemic,
much of the country’s $180 billion education sector is going online to adapt to
the new reality. Many educational institutions are creating virtual learning
infrastructure and radically transforming the way education has been offered
for millennia. And to help them realise that goal, they are reaching out to
technology companies such as Impartus Innovations, Amazon Web Services (AWS),
Coursera and Tata Consultancy
Services (TCS).
