The world of education has drastically changed & learning with a multidisciplinary approach needs extraordinary skill sets (Design thinking & Digital learning) to make the child capable of transitioning into the future of work.
Design thinking
It’s a skill that not only helping the students to understand what they are learning but helping them to question the work they are doing. It’s required for everyone all over the world, not only limited to classrooms.
Design thinking is a part of the project-based learning educational model. It’s a child-centric approach to finding solutions to real-life problems by identifying and developing innovative and creative solutions. Students transform themselves into optimistic, emphatic, and smart working members of society who can solve complex challenges of the coming future.
Design thinking methods encourage students to address challenges with a sense of empathy.
Design thinking can be used in the classroom to build problem solving skills (PSS).
Digital transformation
The Pandemic (COVID-19) has affected educational institutions all over the world both Developed and Developing countries. Students in the world were unable to go to school physically. The impact has been transformative as we educators are looking forward to implementing technology solutions to enable online teaching and learning.
Digital transformation in education is not restricted to online teaching and learning during- COVID-19, but post-COVID also, it’s in Hybrid mode.
Some educational institutions have been using technology solutions for the last many years, and most schools and universities have now realized the significance of digital transformation in education during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Digital transformation in Education means enhancing an organization’s core operations to meet students, parents, and educators’ requirements efficiently.
The Digital transformation is aiming at enhancing the student’s experience by allowing them to register for admission via mobile app or web app, providing a wide array of online learning options, and using technology to track students’ progress. It also helps and allows faculties to organise online classes. Digital transformation in education does not only mean improving students’ experience; it also focuses on enhancing the campus environment, teaching, and learning methods.
Digital transformation in learning environment
Educational institutions have started realising the significance of digital transformation in education with the increased use of online classes and video conferencing solutions. It is the right time to implement and build technology solutions that will transform the new way of learning. We have to understand how technology can help to bring efficiency.
Digital transformation in teaching method
Online teaching is an opportunity to build new teaching method and connect with students efficiently. These days everyone is having smart devices, including smartphones, computers, laptops, and tablets. Learning by using technology is a new effective way to bring better learning & experiences for students.
In the modern educational world, different new methods can be introduced in digital transformation.
At last, I want to tell you that with the digitisation of the learning experience, both students and teachers can enhance their skills to create an engaging educational process. From online learning to the smart classroom, analysis of students’ performance, personalised learning experience, and online examination, we can transform our educational institute in many ways in the 21st century.
