UGC aims to permanently transfer up to 40% of its lessons online

| News

The University Grants Commission (UGC) in India has submitted a blended education and teaching scheme proposal. This means that 40% of all lessons will be conducted online. This could lead to an overall change in the traditional educational system throughout the whole country.

The UGC project has been described as a blended model of teaching and learning. Recently, it has been made freely available online to gather users' opinions and suggestions. Everyone will have the opportunity to express their views and give feedback about the scheme until June the 6th. Currently, all students can independently choose their own online lessons, teachers, and the structure of their exams whilst developing their own online courses for their peers and fellow classmates.

The idea was developed following a new National Education Policy that proposed various concepts like online learning, distance learning, and improving the scope for implementing them in schools and universities.

"Universities will be allowed to teach up to 40% of their educational programs online, and 60% will be carried out in the traditional face-to-face way. Exams will be conducted either online or offline, regardless of the ratio chosen," said Rajneesh Jain, UGC secretary.

According to UGC, blended learning and teaching constitute the main benefits for enhancing student's independent learning skills. They will also have unlimited access to information, personalise their own educational process and educate other students. This completely shifts the roles of teachers from regular knowledge providers to mentors and coaches. This will have a positive impact on learning outcomes and educational achievements throughout India.
