We have trained over tens and thousands of students, professionals and business organizations in terms of life and soft skills. We have set a high quality benchmark of rendering training to educational and business organisations. Station-e has emerged as an alternative platform for learning life and soft skills. With collaborations with companies and business houses for training their personnel, Station-e has carved a niche for itself in the training arena.We believe in changing the way a certain knowledge domain functioned till now. We have done exactly that in the case of methodology for training in English. Since ages, the same old methods of training prevailed and dominated the arena of skills training. Station-e decided to make a difference, and a fundamental one. Every one of our technological tools, learning material provided by us, and activities designed are directed at one single goal-reinventing the concept of skills training.

Technology is another dimension to our Project Innovation. We belive that the smart use of technology has a magical quality. It can transform the nature and character of everything we do. It is proverbial in the case of everything else in our lives but it had remained aloof from the education environs. We invented ways to change this and bridge the divide. We evolved training programs with a vision to incorporate technological tools into the core practices of training. We have audio-visual aids in place, a Plasma TV and other gadgets which complement and supplement the whole training exercise. Each and every aspect of learning at Station-e is linked with technology and which means with, the seamless, efficient mode of functioning.Our training methodology emanates from our unmatched dedication to innovative methods for transforming skills training into a totally, completely new concept.

Prof S S Prasada Rao
Dean & Director,
Hyderabad School of Business

With one of the largest youth populations in the world, India is ready to reap the benefits of demographic dividend. But for that the nation has to equip its students with better education. Unless ICT tools are utilised to deliver the educational content, we cannot aspire to reach out to all youth spread across regions and sections of population of varied degrees of development. Fortunately there is an emphasis on the part of the governments for developing ICT tools and making the same available for educational purposes. If the mass implementation of these tools attains a professional standard, Indian can become the most important knowledge hub in the world.

Implementation at Hyderabad School of Business

At GITAM University in general, and at Hyderabad Business School in particular, the website performs multiple roles. It is a gateway for the students, researchers and the teaching faculty for getting access not only to administrative information and material, but also to journals and books across the world-wide web. Our website provides access to online national and international journals, magazines, reports and projects. It subscribes to a large number of journals through Springer link (Business & Economics Journals) EBSCO, Capitaline (Capital Market), Emerald Management Xtra 150, Proquest, Free Access Journals, Ebrary (10,70,000+ Titles). Digital Engineering and Video Libraries are also accessible to students. The teaching faculty makes their teaching-learning material available on the website. All these resources make it convenient and pleasurable to learn for an aspiring student.

Success of National Knowledge Network

National Knowledge Network simply multiplies our chances of attaining excellence, especially in the field of education. The active sharing of knowledge at various stages of its creation will facilitate quality output and helps us avoid duplication, plagiarism and substandard work. The cumulative effort of scholars across the country will lead to overall improvement in the quality of our scholarship.

Prior to the advent of the ICT’s those groups of people who were excluded from higher education due to social or cultural reasons were denied all opportunities to enjoy the advantages of education. But, at present, the rural populations and the ethnic minorities are able to get the full benefits of ICT. The students who want to undergo higher education and enjoy the benefit are now able to pursue their education without going to the classrooms.

In the past, the students of technology could not update their knowledge. But new technologies make it possible for us to have access to research work done by their fellow scholars at Boston or Philadelphia.

Academics are able to offer education of higher quality through the use of ICTs. Independent and active learning is set to revolutionise the higher education in India.  The introduction of ICT at school level has had the beneficial effect of involving the parents in the learning of their sons and daughters. The computer and the Internet have brought about a complete change in the learning poem.

Prof Dr. Firdos Temurasp Shroff, Visiting Professor, Institute for Technology and Management (ITM), Kharghar, Mumbai. He is also a Professor/Mentor, University of Mumbai/Mgt Institutions; SEBI Certified Trainer in Financial Education; Fellow, Indian Institute of Banking & Finance; and Senate Member, Pune University

Like all innovations that we have come to accept, ICTs also have strengths and weaknesses. We should list these because
it is important to know what they are especially if we are to plan and use them effectively.

And so, they are a mixed bag and it is necessary that we recognise both their strengths and weaknesses, before planning  to use them in our adult learning setup. It is more important that we recognise because if we use a technology thinking it to be ideal one, but fail to recognise its limitations, we are likely to fail in our efforts. Then we will develop the wrong notion that all ICTs are useless and inadequate for serving the goals of education. However, much needs to be done to fill up the gap for sharing of information/knowledge and to take full advantage of the ICT system in the years to come.

Strengths for delivery:
• Individualisation of learning
• Interactivity
• Low per unit cost
• Distance and climate insensitive
• Can serve multiple teaching functions and diverse audiences
• High speed delivery, wide reach at low cost
• Uniform quality

Weaknesses:
• High infrastructure and start up costs
• Tend toward centralized uniform content in economies of scale
• Are not ideally location and problem sensitive
• Problems of reach, access, remain

Level of Implementation at ITM, Kharghar, Mumbai

The level of implementation at the Institution (ICT tools) is quite good. State of the art technologies have been adopted. Wi-Fi campus and 24×7 internet facilities have been provided. All students are computer savvy and provided with  laptops to enable them to make best use of learning while at home and travelling. Latest Research Modules/Packages have been put to use as also links to national and International e-Journals of repute, which help researchers to upgrade, learn and utilise information on case studies.

In short, our Institution has grown in strength and is equipped with a hightech campus. It ranks among Top 25 Management Institutions in India.

Prof V S Rao
Director & Senior Professor,
BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad Campus

The Indian education system will get a major boost with the implementation of ICT tools for enhanced delivery. It is going to be a real game changer for improvement of quality, access and inclusive growth. It would be a harbinger for the great revolution in teaching/ learning process.

Success of NKN

National Knowledge Network will provide a plethora of opportunities for collaboration, cooperation in the field of academics. It would be really difficult to visualise the benefits and the successes that it can bring about. It is going to be great opportunity for all tiers of education and would bring down the costs tremendously and improve efficiency.

Prof M J Xavier
Director,
Indian Institute of Management (Ranchi)

I cannot imagine as to how we can teach without ICT. At the school level Geography can be taught by showing the places using Google maps. Even rural schools can benefit from the best teachers in good schools.

Blended learning will get adopted in schools and colleges around the world. Cost of education will come down drastically. We have to move to a guru-centric model where best teachers will be able to reach thousands of students.

Implementation at IIM Ranchi

At IIM Ranchi, we have a studio for recording of lectures. In our Executive MBA, the recorded lectures are made available in our LMS. Classes are used for case discussion and exercises only. We have facilities available to stream the classes live over broadband network. We have developed an LMS with Edusoft that is social media integrated. It has built in assessment tools for evaluating posts and the learning diary. The reporting tool uses a OLAP where students can drill down and see their performance vis-à-vis the rest of the class in terms of each of the components. We are having a separate academic module for class scheduling and students management.

We also use biometric attendance system. We are going to install security cameras to monitor students during exams. We are also going to implement ERP and CRM. We are evaluating tools like Webex and Blackboard Connect for the distance education planned during the next academic year.

Success of NKN

Success so far has been limited as the Institutions are still caught up in the industrial age mindset. For example, the 13 IIMs have more than 520 faculty members. Still there is a shortage. We need to migrate to information age models that use collaboration and networking. For a change, the so-called thinkers (academicians) are lagging behind the planners (politicians and bureaucrats). NKN will surely put India ahead of the developed world in the field of education if the IITs and IIMs start sharing resources with each other.

The information society demands workforce that can use technology as a tool to increase productivity and creativity. The job sector requires skilled pool of talent. ICT plays a crucial role in information dissemination to enhance the skills of the students and increase their employability prospects.

ICTs are powerful enabling tools for educational change and reform. When used appropriately, different ICTs help expand access to education, strengthen the relevance of education to the workplace, and raise educational quality by creating an active process connected to real life.

Implementation at Imperial Group

ICT tools currently being used at our institutions include video conferencing, video lectures, online presentations and case studies, voice enabled and animation content, cloud computing, Apple and Android applications, etc.
