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.
