Time to integrate pedagogy with technology, says Rajan Gurukkal

‘Kerala needs maverick teachers for making creative use of techno-pedagogy during pandemic times’

The use of up-to-date techno-pedagogy is the only solution to tide over the pandemic-induced crisis in the higher education sector, Rajan Gurukkal P.M., Vice Chairman of the Kerala State Higher Education Council, has said. A day after the Left Front government assumed office in Kerala, Prof. Gurukkal said the pandemic was likely to continue for another year, and implementing up-to-date techno-pedagogy was the only solution to handle the crisis. “Techno-pedagogy is very rich and enterprising, although most of our teachers refuse to use it. Edu-tech tools have made a sudden and forceful entry into higher education institutions with the pandemic, and they are going to remain as an inevitable complement to classroom teaching even after the pandemic,” he added.
