Description

The historic Education imparts knowledge and as human beings, the relevance of knowledge is for life long. Various case studies have been performed across worldwide to innovate in computer supported learning and implementation of best practices to spread education. Various case studies have stressed on the importance of technological innovations and its significant implications in academic research along with classroom learning. Globalisation has increased the demand of staying up-to-date with technology in every perspective. This article focuses on the understanding of various strategies or theories of learning as a base for effective learning/teaching experience which needs to fulfil various criteria to pertain knowledge; and the take home message is to utilise the benefits of combinations of strategies in educational system without prioritizing on one strategy; as catering to the needs of indifferent learners requires multifaceted approach of classroom and e-learning. Computer supported learning has dwelled into various fields influencing everyday relevance on this digital trend and there is a need to make this learning beneficial to the rural masses to overcome digital divide. Integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) enables interactive sessions in the teaching pedagogy, driving students’ attention and critical thinking with constructive learning when compared to the student-centric, classroom teaching. ICT gives an opportunity for arriving at new conclusions or discovery of new facts other than being as means of communication and for delivery of facts. When specific modern ICT tools are collaborated with constructive teaching, the quality of education could be improved in terms of gaining and implementing the acquired knowledge with creative skills based on changing and fast growing needs in this era.
