DIGITAL EDUCATION IN INDIA: SCOPE AND CHALLENGES

Now – a – days, technology is changing very fast in all the areas of life. Everything is being based on the use of technology application of ITC starting from communication to visual and audio entertainment travelling, electrification etc.  Hence, the education system all over the world has been bound to make a dramatic change due to inability of the traditional education system to fulfill the modern day complex needs where everything is not only dynamic but also evolving at a very fast pace. So the traditional class rooms with black boards are being replaced by smart classes having the audio and visual system followed by PPTs presentation. In the same manner, Text books are being replaced by e-books. Therefore, we are moving far away from physical way of teaching and learning because of their shortcomings, we are moving towards virtual teaching and learning skills because it resolves the issues and challenges of traditional education. Indeed, digital education is the combination of technology, digital content and instruction in the education system hence it makes it more effective and efficient than the traditional system. This educational change has produced various advantages by increasing the knowledge base of the students. It makes them more confident to face the dynamic environment. But due to this, students are being ignorant because they are not focusing enough on the online classes due to thinking to have the access on line information any time. They are becoming rude and not giving proper regards or respects to their teachers. Along with all this situation they have a load of various types of information hence many of them evolved in the unwanted activities and they are exposed to information is not meant for them at the current age. My paper is basically based on the secondary source of information which has been gathered from various websites, research papers, news papers and magazine articles. I have tried to elaborate the upcoming trends in the digital education system that may be able to shape the future of our coming generations for the better.
