Teachers’ forums find gaps in blended learning proposal
The Hindu
They point out funding, infrastructural issues
Teachers’ organisations have pointed out several gaps in the concept note on blended learning proposed by the University Grants Commission (UGC). “Online teaching can be considered as an aid to direct teaching, but should not replace it,” pointed out Anilkumar K. and Jafer Sadik P.P., president and general secretary respectively of the Government College Teachers’ Organisation (Kerala) in their response on blended learning submitted to Rajnish Jain, Secretary, UGC. Stating that there was no justification for introducing a 40% online component in teaching, Mr. Anilkumar said that incorporating online resources and information technology-enabled methods in the teaching-learning process required advanced infrastructural facilities.More Related News
