Debate on “E-Learning: Educational norm in Covid Times”COVID-19 had a tremendous change in the educational sector in India. The Indian government and different education participants have discussed the possibility of e-learning by adopting different digital technologies to handle current COVID-19 circumstancesAs a result, education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms.The online teaching method needs only reliable internet connectivity and a laptop or smartphones as necessary. Also, students do not have to move from one place to another, so the traveling time is minimal. The retaining capacity is also strengthened because of travel; the student wouldn’t feel depressed.Learning from home always offers a pleasant place to focus, as students can determine the best environment for themselves. Numerous digital tech companies have played a significant role in the change like google classroom, Zoom, Microsoft Teams.Smart classrooms are produce teaching more straightforward and accessible by a student in close to real classroom like interaction. All competitive assessments are underway, and students can use the opportunity to practice towards themselves. This had a direct impact on the field of education.E- learning also a wonderful opportunity for every academician and researcher to create their own OERs (Open Educational Recourses) which not only serves the purpose of students for education but also serves as a catalyst in enhancing professional self-image. Digital initiatives help every academician to see themselves as not only teachers but creators of knowledge.Regards Dr. Niveditha SamalaACME 2021A Batch

GOOD EVENING DOME Faculty & Co LearnersI am here with submitting my response to Thread 1.2 I oppose E-Learning in Medical Education because of Following reasons:1.E-Learning causes Social isolation of learner & learning requires strong self motivation by the learners as many times they can get distracted easily.2. unlike offline mode there is no scope of learning Psychomotor skills hinders learners performance in real life situation3.There is no face to face communication between trainer & learner & it is difficult to assess whether students learning outcomes achieved or not.4.Students residing in rural areas , having less bandwidth internet places may face poor audio/Video quality during sessions.5.Few students who are not good at computer knowledge face challenges in operating gadgets may not communicate/interact with teachers properly .6.Accredation & quality assurance problem may arise for the online courses as they may not fulfill the criteria.

E- learning is the need of the hour in these COVID times. I Propose E-Learning for the following reasons.1. E- learning is convenient and flexible, the students can attend these classes from place of their choice. If the classes are recorded, they can be watched at any time.2. E- learning promotes active and independent learning3. Through discussion boards and chats, the teacher are able to interact with everyone online and also clear your doubts if any.4. In case of recorded videos , they can be rewound and seen and heard again and again, if the student does not happen to understand the topic at the first time.5. Webinars can be conducted with renowned faculty from all over the world. In this case, it is cost-effective, a substantial amount can be saved on the travel and accommodation costs of both learners and instructors, as well as the venue and materials.6. Online learning is scalable. It can be extended to as many students as required with many learners taking the course. Regards,Dr. SuprasannaACME 2020B

Julie Misquith _ ACME BATCH 2021AE- learning can only be a " supplement ' or ' complement' to traditional learning and cannot entirely substitute it.Although during these COVID times it is the need of the hour to continue the ongoing syllabus and deadlines of the teaching programme there are several drawbacks which have been encountered1. Lack of control : Poorly motivated learners tend to lag behind2. May not appeal to all learning styles of the students esp. the ones who are kinesthetic learners who prefer doing tasks rather than just listening or reading words3. It can isolate students and make them feel demotivated without support or reassurance from teachers or trainers4. All learners should have devices which support the training module and several technical issues such as internet connectivity and general random faults are potential issues 5. Software's have to be user friendly and several students may find this daunting and demotivating4. There is no face to face interaction and all online platforms may not provide the same. Hence it is difficult to really track the students attentivity and understanding capacity esp. in larger groups.5.During the COVID times there is an inability of practical exposure to acquiring competencies in the skills domain and online demonstrations via video or other digital means cannot replace the real thing.

Dr. Shubha DB_ACME 2021AI support Dr. Julie on 'E-Learning can only be a supplement or complement to traditional learning'. Every teacher has their own unique style of teaching which is developed over a period either through the rapport they build with the children or through observing their body language in class, their interaction with classmates. In E-Learning, teachers just see them on computer screens, sometimes even that's not feasible in poor internet connections, and/or with a lot of disturbances, which hinders the teaching-learning process. Thus, e-learning can be a supplement and can't be the norm in medical education.

Madam, with due respect I, Dr.Pramod Rangasubhe, from group Bloom would like to dispute your views. Madam as you agree that during these COVID times it is the need of the hour to continue the ongoing syllabus and deadlines of the teaching programme, I’ll give certain recommendations to rectify the drawbacks of e-learning as reported by you, 1. Motivating the students to learn is the quality of a teacher, so a good teacher will do it in any format of teaching-learning mode. Identifying such students and having one-to-one interaction with them can solve this issue.2. Few techniques that E-Learning professionals can employ in order to make their E-Learning programs more kinesthetically inclined.a. Develop a wide range of tactile activitiesb. Focus on immersion and interactivityc. Make it emotionald. Cater to different kinesthetic learning stylese. Use branching scenarios to boost retentionf. Create collaborative group projectsg. Allow them to explore through experimentation3. Such students should be advised to make small groups among their batch-mates and discuss the topics. They should also be given freedom to contact the teacher anytime and discuss their issues.4. As we are applying this method of teaching to Medical students I am quite sure that all will be having smart phones. Internet connectivity can be an issue in certain places, but they can visit nearby cybercafé centers for the same.5. Teacher can take a feedback from students about the feasibility of E-Learning methods and can act accordingly. Various methods of E-Learning are available which are student friendly.6. To check the students’ attention, Teacher can ask questions in live online class randomly. To know the students understanding pre-test and post-test can be conducted at the beginning and end of each class.7. I do agree with you Madam that online demonstrations via video or other digital means cannot replace the real life thing, but it will definitely prepare him to understand the concepts to certain extent so that when this pandemic ends and when he comes across a patient this knowledge will definitely help him.

Sudha Bala_ACME 2021A BATCHI agree with Julie mam that E-Learning can only be A "supplement" for learning methods.But due to the pandemic crises we need to continue for the sake of completion of vast syllabus. The drawbacks encountered are mainly-1. Most of the students keep their videos off and so this raises real issue as Umesh sir pointed out that there may be no learning during that point. No monitoring can be done2. Some platforms are time bound as they are free of cost, So we need to be more precise for that 4o min session especially for case based learning discussions.3. No exposure for real time cases4. Technical lapses can add on as a triggering factor.5. Teachers or educators also need to be technically skilled to handle the issues arising from time to time.6. This type of learning probably increases the chances of acquiring Lifestyle diseases due to sedentary nature.7. No attention towards slow learners which is usually possible in face to face tutorials.8. Environment of home may not be conducive for those having large family or small house with background disturbances9. Students might feel isolated as there is no interaction with friends or teachers.10. Rather than by just seeing or hearing , Everyone tends to perform better by practicing.

Dr V Chand Basha from 2020BI Appose e-learning 1. Teacher and student eye contact and direct interaction will not there with the students.2. Student do not show interest to attend online lectures because they will get material from online .3. If the students get ready-made material from online, they lack interest in reading text books.4. If students get material they will consider this as guide and they will read before exam only and they will not concentrate on daily studies. 5. There will be distractions and disturbances in e-learning. for example: network issues, electricity issues, lack of infrastructure, technology problems.6. E-learning required trained faculty members.7. E -learning lack of PEER Interaction.8. Requires self discipline and motivation.9. Students should follow Proper time management.10.

E learning can never be a norm in medical education1. Medical education involves a lot of acquisition of psychomotor skills. To come out as a competent doctor one has to have a real world experience of learning by doing it. Virtual simulations can not be a substitute for hands on experience2. Another important domain to be acquired in medical education is affective domain or the soft skills. One cannot empathize or have sympathy just by seeing emotional videos or virtual patients. Human interaction has immense value in teaching life's important lessons.3. Most of us ( as medical educators & administrators) are not using effective e assessment methods. It is said ' assessment drives learning' and therefore since we are not assessing well, learners are not self motivated. Therefore e earning cannot be the norm4. There are learners from rural/ semi urban backgrounds where suitable infrastructure ( laptops, smartphones, personal computers) and internet connectivity is lacking. Establishment of all these requires finance and lack of it, is a hindrance.5. Lot of unlearning from the traditional teaching methods has to happen from the medical teachers, administrators and learners as well. Unlearning process is gradual and slow and therefore the new e-learning methods cannot be the norm Dr Sumana Sen2021 A batch

I challenge Group Bloom: The group with responses on proposing E-Learning in medical education to give a rebuttal to Sir William Osler’s famous quote:“He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all”I rest my case for the time being.

I completely agree with Dr Sumanas arguments. We have now moved to CBME "Competency based medical education that encompasses the cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains. E-learning to an extent can cover the cognitive domain but the psychomotor and affective domain require the student to experience it with the patients, their families and the clinical teachers. no amount of virtual learning can fulfil that gap

DR ANITA RAMESH2020B_OPPOSEBarrier – Skill deficitLack of skills, in particular technical skills, was found to be one of the barriers met by educators when engaging with the development and implementation of online learning [19]. Insufficient computer and typing skills [20] together with poor infrastructure can inhibit educator’s willingness or ability to engage with the development or delivery of online learningBarrier - timeMedical educators are already under pressure to find sufficient time to manage teaching, research and maintain a work life balance personal life commitments .inadequate time to devote to the mastery, development and implementation of online learning tools can be seen as a significant barrier.Barrier - infrastructureIn many instances, the lack of infrastructure and technology can be seen as a barrier in medical education. Limited access to computers and poor physical infrastructure, poor internet connectivity and Wi-Fi access.Barrier –poor communicationThe lack of institutional support and limited direction as to how tools or programs would be implemented, implementation is rarely successful.''We can’t work alone! We need to work as a team” Barrier – AttitudeIt is intimidating to use the computers with its vast technological advancements.

Dr Vani B S2020 BOppose1. The effect of e-learning, when inadvertent, causes health issues related to eyesight and physical inactivity. These effects are very often neglected, while the very purpose of education is preservation of health.2. Any technical defect stops e-learning which doesn’t happen with traditional learning. The teacher, in face-to-face learning, is always personally and physically available when needed.3. Social and community interactions are absent in e-learning. It is social participation which enhances any kind of learning and hence an important facilitatory method is lacking.4. Tools for e-learning and their repair is expensive/beyond easy reach for remote areas. 5. Faculty development has to be performed to inculcate e-practices. Covid has affected education unexpectedly rapidly. 6. Monitoring/counselling/mentoring of poor performers can’t be done.

Sumangala Patil_ACME2020BI oppose E-learning as a mode of teachingThe few Barriers which makes E-learning difficult are:1. Inadequate computer skills 2. Inadequate training on using LMS. 3. Lacking personal preference (negative attitude) to online learning.4. Lacking self-discipline to e-learning5. Poor motivation and expectation regarding e-learning . 6. Limited resources as weak internet connections. 7. The weak internet connection is a barrier or good quality of the exam. 8. Some disciplines or contents are not suitable for e-learning such as clinical teaching, which needs to be taught offline[hands on] only.9. The cost of accessing the internet is a barrier.10. Student - e-learning is constrained by limited options of face-to-face learning.Disadvantages to e-learning is that some students for whom English is not their native language, have difficulty communicating and being understood. Few group of students may experience computer or technology anxiety which may in turn impact their learning and their final grades.High stakes, educators, and policy-makers should develop continuous training of the medical educators and students on virtual classes to improve their skills and acceptance. Good instructional designs of the e-learning courses, motivation, interaction and support are needed.

Dr. Sameer AhmedACME 2021-A BatchDebate regarding e-learning in medical education.My Stand: I oppose!The reasons that I chose to oppose e-learning are as follows,1. Lack of personal touch• The computer screen simply lacks the things that we perceive in human interaction.• The body language, radiance of a smile, the twinkle in an eye, the subtle tone of the voice, all of these and more are lost in transmission.2. Inability to do real-time monitoring• It is impossible to monitor the students when their cameras are off. Even their presence is sometimes doubted when many don’t respond immediately.3. Decreased two-way communication• A simple answer is a minimum of three clicks away.• Internet is seasonal in India and monsoon is on its way.• Are you not tired of staring at the rotating (buffering) cursor?4. What about clinical skills?• How can you even imagine teaching clinical skills through gadgets?• The feel of an abdominal mass, the hum of a heart murmur, the movement with respiration of the liver, can they be felt or taught online?5. What about attitude, ethics & professionalism• Many of us are molded by observing our professional role-models. The internet robs the students of this.6. Is it fair?• The most important question, is it fair on the students? • Can they be evaluated in the same way that their seniors were evaluated?• Can we expect the same proficiency from them as we did from their seniors?Truthful answers to most of these questions will be my best defense.

Patient contact and communicationWhich is one of the essential criteria for a physician can be learned with physical classes.2. Procedural skills How much ever we try to teach them on mannikins, everything is artificial creation which cannot be replace by real scenarios. Assessments cannot be conducted online.3.Hidden Curriculum Most of us have learnt while observing, so this could be missed if we go complete online.However, I would say a part of Medical education can be taught online.
