Without any doubt, businesses across industries have
undergone a drastic change in the way they work in the new market dynamics. And
now, as the entire world tries to come to terms with the current disruption
that has unleashed unprecedented predicaments, businesses are realizing the
need for digitalization – this includes the education sector.
The continued closure of academic institutes has disrupted
the education of nearly 300 million children across the globe1 while
altering pedagogical methods overnight. Emphasis was redirected towards digital
learning, which surfaced as an indispensable solution to enable learning continuity.
Institutes across the world started embracing digital technologies to deliver remote
education and empower educators to create intriguing virtual experiences for
the students. Technology has surfaced as a key enabler in enabling institutes
and business schools to transition from concrete classrooms to smart
classrooms, paving the way for a digitally transformed education system.
Making the challenges in digital education obsolete with
technology adoption
The sudden transition to remote teaching highlighted the obstacles
in the adoption of digital learning/tech-enabled education. These include security
concerns, inaccessibility of remote devices and network, inexperienced
educators, and inadequate home setups for both learning and teaching.
This is where every educational institute needs to rethink
and reinforce their infrastructure, in order to meet the diverse demands of online
education. They need to build an agile system that enables both the teachers
and students to stay connected, efficient, and productive – with devices,
peripherals, mobile workstations, and innovative accessories. In India, technology
is catalyzing optimum digital calibration in the education sector while
transforming the entire ecosystem.
Dell Technologies’ wide portfolio of client solutions have
always supported learning without limits. The Latitude laptop family is designed
to not only enhance home learning experiences for both teachers and students
but to help education institutes succeed as they navigate these new ways of
learning and teaching. With the OptiPlex desktops and Precision Workstations, educators
and students can have access to private workspaces, shared spaces and
specialized labs with desktop solutions that power a variety of needs. We also
have a host of right accessories to allow seamless connectivity and
collaboration for an immersive learning
experience.
A digitally transformed education system for a digitally
powered India
In India, increasing access to high-speed broadband and
low-cost mobile devices and computers is accelerating online-learning. In fact,
with the new National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the Govt. of India underpinned
the need and ways towards innovation-led digital learning. The policy
highlights the criticality of technology in the education system with a specific
focus towards quality education for underrepresented groups, vocational
learning, upskilling the students and much more.
Right now, building a robust and resilient education system
is paramount for every educational institute. It all zeros down to embracing
the right technology to continue education, especially amidst unprecedented
times.
Dell Technologies is at the helm of transforming the
education realm with future-ready solutions
