Closures of educational institutes has been suspended in many countries impacting over 1.6 billion learners of the student population. The ongoing crisis has brought about a paradigm shift and students are now completely depending on digital learning to fulfil their learning needs.
Digital learning has now become a vital part of mainstream education.The ‘classrooms of today’ will have technology at its core. The present is taking a leap from the conventional one-to-many approach to a blended one-to-one schooling experiences, providing students with the best of digital learning.
The traditional classroom has a trainer at the centre while trainees are learning in a group. Digital learning, when done right, flips the classroom model by putting trainees at the centre. What Learnet Skills Limited has done is to transform the skilling experience to a more trainee-centric led content. The trainers are using live lectures, self-study, projects, assignments & home-based activities to broaden the skilling environment. As a result of the lockdown, Learnet Skills are using the digital platform on a daily basis and spending an average of 200 minutes per day. There has also been a significant behavioural shift in the trainee’s attitude towards online learning as they are benefiting from the classroom in person.
