Education is the passport to the future, and e-learning is the wave of tomorrow. And as the needs of the job market and industry continue to evolve, education and technology need to collaborate to teach digital skills and prepare graduates for the jobs of tomorrow. Rumi Mallick Mitra, Head, IBM Corporate Social Responsibility, India and South Asia, speaks to Shelly Anand about why smart education is the future in India.
Q. Why has learning online become popular?
A. The market is seeing a big shift toward techbased jobs, where proficiency in data analytics, artificial intelligence and cloud computing is needed. A combination of technical and life skills (or transferable skills) is the answer—employees need critical thinking skills. The workforce needs to be aligned to this market shift. Since learning is a continuing process, a more progressive approach towards education, focused on training and skilling would smooth the road ahead. A key factor that has made technology and education come together is the changed expectations of learners. They are no longer passive but motivated and self-driven and want an engaging, authentic and experiential process.
