EFFECTIVE USE OF DIGITAL LEARNING CONTENTS
 |
| Ranvir Singh, Director |
Digital learning is a web-based learning
which helps students to gain knowledge by making use of information technology.
It empowers students by getting them to be more interested in learning and
expanding their horizons. Learning tools
and technology enable students to effective self-directed learning
skills. They are able to identify what
they need to learn, find and use online resources, apply the information on the
problem at hand and even evaluate resultant feedback. This increases their efficiency and
productivity.
In
addition to engaging students, digital learning tools and technology sharpen
critical thinking skills which are the basis for the development of analytical
reasoning. Children who explore
open-ended questions with imagination and logic learn how to make a decision, as
opposed to just temporarily memorizing the test book. Children also develop positive feelings of the accomplishment from mastering new knowledge and skills using digitized learning
tools giving them the confidence they need to want to learn even more new
things.
An effort has been made by ZIET Chandigarh,
to compile various digital learning resources available in tabular form
according to the requirement of students of classes 2 to 12 all subjects and
uploaded on ZIET Chandigarh Library Blog (libraryzietchd.blogspot.com).
Otherwise searching various links & videos is a time-consuming exercise for
students. In this compiled information
link to NCERT website to select the NCERT book, unit wise/ topic wise videos made by Diksha, Unacademy, Edumantra, Vedantu, Byju's, Magnet Brains etc. are available on YouTube (public domain) and the tests and assignments prepared by expert subject
teachers are given. The student can choose
his subject NCERT book and the unit, thereafter he/she will choose the videos
available in the links given and can learn from it. After learning he/she will get himself /
herself tested through tests and assignments given, by clicking to test and assignment
link on the topic/unit. After
attempting the test and submission the child will get his/her score.
This effort is made for enhancing self-learning by the children. Which has
become more relevant in the wake of COVID-19 Pandemic and the lockdown period
going on. Since students are missing their regular classes, this way they can
utilize their time effectively. The further attempt is being made to link videos of expert subject teachers of KVs
particularly from the feeder regions of ZIET Chandigarh very shortly.
