The 21st century student is learning in new and fascinating ways – and technology is providing a vehicle for students to learn around the clock. Facebook, cell phones, and iPods are always present in students’ lives providing collaborative and real-time conversing. But how and to what level do our educational institutions and associated industries adjust to the ever-changing learning trends?
Join us in the Tata Interactive Learning Forum that examines how the publishing and educational practitioners are addressing the inevitable shifts from:
• Passive to Active Learning
• Textbook-based to digital-based learning assets
• Time-based classes to outcome-based solutions
The shift has already started to occur, but has education kept up the pace? Hear first-hand from the innovators in the publishing, educational and media industries. This lively event will delve into the emerging best practices and technological interventions across all subject matters and class levels.
