Uday Salunkhe Shares His Views On Technology In The

New Era

According to a report by Ernst & Young, India will be amongst the youngest nations in the world by 2030. Naturally, the already existing challenges for Indian Higher Education – Access, Equity and Quality – will only grow with time. In the wake of this situation, how can we significantly transform our education model? asks Uday Salunkhe, Group Director, Welingkar.

“Of course, technology will be at the center of this transformation,” answers Uday Salunkhe.

Digitization will slowly push education outside campus based learning. Education model will thus include assessment through online tools and collaboration over videos.

“It is the need of the hour for top institutes to increase the benchmark for quality of online education,” says Dr. Uday Salunkhe.

India requires 6 million more teachers by 2020 to attain the world average in terms of student-teacher ratio. In this context, institutes rely on online technology to provide education to wider masses. Welingkar provides virtual classroom sessions for students to attend live lectures from the campus studio and interact with professors.

“In case a student is not able to attend virtual classroom lectures, he can still refer to We Lecture, where video lectures are uploaded on all subjects,” says Dr Uday Salunkhe.

He further expresses his views on the power of mobile, “With mobile traffic on the Internet expected to surpass the desktop traffic in less than a year, mobile learning is the next big thing waiting to happen. Educational apps are the second most downloaded in iTunes of all categories.”http://www.udaysalunk

In what looks like a positive movement, government initiatives worth 1000 crores are said to connect 1 mn teachers and 6 mn students in 1,500 institutions in India over the next 18 months.

“SMAC (Social, Mobile, Analytics, and Cloud) technology is the future of education,” says Uday Salunkhe.

To achieve full potential of technology in education, India must address concerns

related to lack of appropriate infrastructure, he concludes.
