Philomaths from all around the world occupy a large percentage of different, famous educational institutions here.
Digitalization and hybrid learning
Due to the pandemic in March 2020, all Universities and schools had to switch from their traditional method of teaching and learning to a digital one. After more than a year of going all-digital, the chaos of the pandemic has started to subside, and things have started to look bright for the institutions here. However, some questions regarding the current trends are popping up. What subjects and courses should remain online, and what should remain face-to-face? Since almost every part of the university has digitized- what part still needs to catch up on? Will the divide between in-person and online learning ever close?
Automation
Like every other shift towards digitalization, automation can be a bit complex at first. However, once you have your hands set on everything, it can also help save time for educators. With most manual labor replaced, teachers can create a better, personalized, and dynamic learning experience for students. In that way, the learning has been more fruitful and thought-provoking. Automation is also a great tool in monitoring the individual progress of the students. Teachers can pay attention to where a student is lacking and needs improvement and give feedback and suggestions accordingly.
Well-being of staff and students
The sudden shift from in-person to digital learning wasn't a walk in the park at first. As much as we like to pull up the facts about how automation and digitalization have contributed to making our lives easier, we cannot ignore the fact that it has also made us quite miserable. The studies and reports show us the data on the mental toll this sudden shift has been taking, on both teachers and students. To keep the teachers and students flourishing and on top of their game, schools, and universities are giving flexible school structures and the appropriate amount of breaks to save them from burnout. Similarly, they have also been prioritizing the well-being of their staff by dedicating time to professional development.
