Dear members,
In today's TOI an interview of *Ms Anita Rampal* has been published. It is worth reading. She says:
Digital Education is not education. It cannot be substituted for real learning.
The entire process is disconcerting. Students learn more from each other while engaging in challenging collective tasks and thinking together. Staring at a screen or blackboard, learners do not think, question, argue, discuss but only act as remote receptors of what is beamed.
In the interview, if you replace the word "students" with "employees", the description is perfectly applicable to them. While the HR professionals are delighted because online learning has reduced their training budget, they are yet to assess the efficacy. Is online training as efficacious as a classroom training? Will HR professionals come forward and do the subject-wise study?
Thanks,
Dinesh Divekar
