Classrooms’ CEO Mr Santosh Talaghatti along with Mr Sridhar Iyer and various interns of the same board. 

Keeping this in mind an interactive session with Mr Kamal Bijlani and Mr Sridhar Iyer was witnessed by the youth and commendable views of Mr Santosh Talaghatti were also seen. 


Insightful Conversation 
With 
Mr Kamal Bijlani, Mr Sridhar Iyer & Mr Santosh Talaghatti


Due to these unavoidable circumstances of the outbreak caused by the spread of coronavirus, Mr. Kamal Bijlani believes that COVID 19 is indirectly acting as a catalyst in the spread of e-learning technology, and we should not let go of this opportunity. He also talks about how these ongoing situations have forced us to come up with innovative instructive techniques which we already know as ‘Blended Learning.’ Blended learning is an approach to education that combines online educational materials and opportunities for interaction online with traditional place-based classroom methods.


His ideology in preparing a portal like e-learning was to first plan out the audience that will be the bottleneck of this advanced technology and mentions that unfortunately, it is the teachers who will come under this category. There is a need for ‘Teacher Training’ in this case. E-learning has created a new method to enhance communication between teachers and students, but it still needs a system to make human contact and the instructors become well versed with the technology. 


The students are advancing at a higher rate in terms of technology than the instructors at this time.

Mr Santosh Talaghatti added to the conversation by giving emphasis on the Teacher Training and mentioning about the misconceptions regarding e-learning. E-Learning shouldn't be an easygoing moonlight trip on a Sunday evening with the journey control locked in and teachers scrolling through various slides, rather it should be an interactive portal to have a hold on each individual. The sole reason for e-Learning is to educate and empower them.
