Dr. Jayaprakash B RACME2020B_batchMany countries are continuing to handle this disruption by deploying different modes of learning through a mix of technologies. In almost all countries, teachers and administrators are encouraged to continue the communication with learners by delivering virtual live lessons or Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)-styled ones. Online education, a result of the digital world has brought a lot to the learning table at all levels of education, beginning from preschool up to higher level institutions. The move to remote learning has been enabled by several online tech stack such as Google Classroom, Blackboard, Zoom and Microsoft Teams, all of which play an important role in this transformation. With the development of ICT in education, online video-based micro-courses, e-books, simulations, models, graphics, animations, quizzes, games, and e-notes are making learning more accessible, engaging, and contextualized. Medical Schools have always considered educational apps or digital learning as a supplementary tool and may have had difficulty in mainstreaming it, mostly due to not having fully understood its efficacy. However, the current situation has given us a fillip to accelerate the adoption of technology and experiment with online learning and measure its success.As the digital learning acceleration continues, it also throws light on the digital divide in India. Students from remote districts and those belonging to poor communities lack the infrastructure and the means to reap the benefits of online learning.

Dr Manasa M R from 2020 B batch1. The present generation of students have been immersed in technology all their lives, imbuing them with sophisticated technical skills and learning preferences.2. A key advantage of e-learning is that learners have control over the content, learning sequence, pace of learning, time and, often, media offering choices to suit different learning styles.3. Some studies have shown that students learn more and quicker when computers are used, and many of the students prefer computer-aided learning packages compared to just using a textbook.4. On the basis of sophisticated cost analysis, it has been shown that e-learning can result in significant cost-savings, compared with traditional instructor-led learning.5. Studies in both medical and nonmedical literature have consistently demonstrated that students are very satisfied with e-learning. Satisfaction rates increase with e-learning compared to traditional learning, along with perceived ease of use and access, navigation, interactivity, and user-friendly interface design.Regards,Dr Manasa M RACME 2020 b batch

I Dr.Veena .M support the concept of teaching and learning on an online platform fro various reasons like.  1. 22nd century is the era of technology and technology has replaced humans in many different fields. So moving with the flow, we need to move on from traditional teaching- learning to technology driven teaching-learning. 2. Learner can pace his learning. He can choose to be a part of synchronous or asynchronous paltform.3.E-learning involves digitalization of facts and concepts which could be more impressive than the traditional mode. Learner can understand and comprehend the concepts in a better way.4. Complicated concepts when taught in 3D mode which is much more understandable than any other modes of understanding the concepts. 5. This modality of learning doesn't need more logistics except for Computer and internet access . Access to technology has become a norm now and operating computers are taught from kindergarten level only. So most of our undergraduates are tech savvy compared to our generation.6. E-learning could have multiple modules of the same concept with huge data base.7. It can reach out to huge number of people in one go.8.Learner can visit and revisit the sites any number of times he wants without any restrictions. This would be like reinforcing the information.9. Learning can be customized in terms of time and place as well content.10. Information can be accessed and relay from any corner of the world. It goes beyond the barriers of traditional teaching-learning modes.

Dr Veena from 2020B batch COVID 19 has taught us many new things in life and has given us the opportunity to explore more. Elearning is one such area which emerged as a rescue to the entire era of education. Teachers learnt the art of virtual classrooms and students learnt inspite of not being in classrooms. if not for elearning the education of all students across all courses would have come to a halt . This crisismad the new technology accepted by organizations that were previously resistant to adapt. This was a difficult time for the educational sectors to deal with the current situation; professional education, particularly medical education, was more challenging. The forced shift to online education is a moment of change and a time to reimagine how education could be delivered

Thread 1.2 E-Learning debate Dr Sachidananda Adiga_ Batch 2021 AWe are in a peculiar scenario in that pandemic is posing a relentless threat to the entire world. Each and every sector has been affected. The educational sector is not an exception. This problem has been greatly handled by e-learning. It has been evidenced by the data that there is an increase from 15% to 60% in the growth of e- learning. This is the need of the hour since it is serving two purposes. It is contributing significantly to reduce the community spread of COVID infection among the educational institute. It is also not far behind in imparting the educational activity to the needy. Educational institutions began providing most of their services online, including lecturers and different assessments via several platforms. The published literature has shown that technology management, support from management, increased student awareness to use E-learning systems, and demanding a high level of information technology from instructors, students, and universities were the most influential factors for E-learning during COVID-19 (Ammar YA)Need for E- Learning In the field of medicine: During the COVID-19 pandemic, most educational institutions have shifted to online education from traditional modes of education to protect their employees and students. Even though it happened in the initial stages with reluctance from both students and teachers, now it has become the order of the day. The rapid changes the pandemic has brought in, online education has been gaining momentum in almost all countries around the world. This coincides with the recently introduced competency-based medical education in India which has embraced online education. This poses a new challenge for the institutions involved, the instructors or teachers, and the students since they must adapt quickly to the new mode of learning. Online education requires teachers to improve their competency in three major areas; pedagogy, technology, and content knowledge. Some of the challenges include; lack of technological skill, poor time management and lack of infrastructure. As technology rapidly advances, health care education systems must also advance in tandem. To implement the new competency-based system and online education, the institutions and the individuals must realize the importance of online education, identify the barriers and quickly work on solutions for success.

Dr.Pramod Rangasubhe, ACME 2021A Batch.I propose for E-Learning.I would like to share two documents from NMC in support of E-Learning: 1. Validity of online classes - https://www.nmc.org.in/MCIRest/open/getDocument?path=/Documents/Public/Portal/LatestNews/Validity of online classes.pdf This article also states that online theory classes are required to be supplemented by practical and clinical training as per current curriculum in all MBBS subjects as and when Colleges reopen. I assume that this answers to Opposer's queries, E-learning is supplementation to regular teaching. 2. Module 8 Online Learning and Assessment - https://www.nmc.org.in/MCIRest/open/getDocument?path=/Documents/Public/Portal/LatestNews/Module-8-Online-learning-and-assessment- 17-11-20-version-final-for-uploading-converted.pdf Gist of this module: Online learning has been reported to be aseffective as didactic teaching. It can also be instrumental in promoting self-directedlearning. Learners can have greater control over their learning as they can go over thecontent at their own pace. Teachers too can evaluate competencies through onlineassessments and provide learners feedback for self-improvement.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has triggered new ways of conducting the teaching-learning process online. For some this has been a small move but for others, this is a completely new way of education. Most nations have already initiated e-learning in their schools. Many schools in India have also adapted to the new normal of e-learning with varying degrees of success. Many progressive schools had already done a lot for the adoption of technology in their schools, which helped in quickly transitioning to a completely online delivery of teaching during the current crisis and with significant success. A recent survey conducted by us showed that more than 92% of students and parents were happy with the online delivery of lessons.With the advent of Covid19, e-learning seems to be one of the safest and easiest ways to impart education for acquiring new skills, explore new career options, or for that matter new hobby development. E-learning is now applicable not only to learn academics but also to conduct extra-curricular activities for students, informative online sessions, online conferences, and webinars. The demand for e-learning has risen significantly and will continue doing so as society starts adapting to ‘social distancing’ post this pandemic. As with most teaching methods, e-learning also has its positives and negatives. Understanding these will help in creating strategies for more efficient delivery of the lessons and measuring its effectiveness. Here are some, pros…Advantages:• Efficiency – E-learning offers a very efficient way to deliver lessons. Use of videos, sharing of resource links, serving assessment tests can all be done at the click of a button. Additionally, the lectures can be recorded and shared for reference with a wide range of audiences. It also allows for a much larger set of children to be taught. • Affordability – E-learning is far more affordable as compared to physical learning. E-learning primarily eliminates 2 major cost points – real estate and transportation. The course or study material is all available online and you can access it as many times as you want.• Less absenteeism – There are fewer chances of students missing out on classes, as they can access easily anytime from the comfort of their home. • Increased Access & Reach – E-learning can happen in any place, as long as there is a device and connectivity. A physical class requires the student to come to school but in this mode, the student can access lessons sitting anywhere in the world. • Encourages shy kids – We have seen that many children who are usually withdrawn in a class environment, open up in the online classes. They are far more forthcoming with their questions and participation. This could be because of a comfortable home environment. There are cons…but compared to the pros they should be overlooked in this pandemic. Dr Parimala SirikondaACME 2021A

Dr Amit Khelgi ACME 2020B Batch• E-learning is innovative and the need of the hour, especially during the COVID times when academics are being affected for an extended period.• Students of the present generation are well versed with the use of technology. They can handle it and are at best to utilize it for productive works such as learning.• Even though the students are away from the institutes, they can still learn the subjects and be in touch with the teachers.,• Teachers are also learning the technology rapidly, including our elite senior teachers, who have been accustomed to conventional teaching for decades.• The E-learning methods foster the attitude and practice of adult learning by making the students learn independently under the teacher's guidance. If the students were not forced into this situation by the pandemic, they would be very callous about adult learning even though we have been trying to instil them into them for a long time.• E-learning has shown the students and faculty the vast options of interactive teaching-learning methods, making it effective.RegardsDr Amit KhelgiACME 2020B

Dr.V.Sailaja ACME2021ABatche learning is another useful tool in the teaching toolbox.It is not a panacea but neither should it be dismissed as a passing ‘‘fad’’. Just like non-electronic teaching methods it has its strengths and weaknesses (one would rarely use a lecture to teach a surgeon to operate or a number of parallel small group tutorials to give a standardised overview of a subject). Some learners find it useful, some less so, just as some learners enjoy interactivity and some prefer a more passive approach. As with most teaching modalities, deep rather than superficial learners appear to enjoy the greatest benefit.A number of studies show positive learner perceptions.Comparison with more ‘‘traditional’’ teaching is unhelpful. The future is to look at what elearning can do and use it to its strengths; elearning is good for ‘‘just in time learning’’ and ‘‘just for me’’ (‘‘in my own time’’) learning, It crosses geographical boundaries and time zones and provides access for the learner to a wealth of resources beyond those which he or she can easily access in his or her home institution. The challenge for teachers is to fill data repositories with useful, accessible RLOs (Reusable Learning Objectives) and help learners access the full richness of the medium.

Dr.Sarada ACME 20211. E-learning technologies offer educators a new paradigm based on adult learning theory, which states that adults learn by relating new learning to past experiences, by linking learning to specific needs, and by practically applying learning, resulting in more effective and efficient learning experiences.2.E- Learning enhancement permits greater learner interactivity and promotes learners' efficiency, motivation, cognitive effectiveness, and flexibility of learning style. 3.E-Learning is a deeply personal experience: we learn because we want to learn. By enabling learners to be more active participants, a well-designed e-learning experience can motivate them to become more engaged with the content. Interactive learning shifts the focus from a passive, teacher-centered model to one that is active and learner-centered, offering a stronger learning stimulus. Interactivity helps to maintain the learner's interest and provides a means for individual practice and reinforcement. 4.Evidence suggests that e-learning is more efficient because learners gain knowledge, skills, and attitudes faster than through traditional instructor-led methods. This efficiency is likely to translate into improved motivation and performance. E-learners have demonstrated increased retention rates and better utilization of content, resulting in better achievement of knowledge, skills, and attitudes.5.Multimedia e-learning offers learners the flexibility to select from a large menu of media options to accommodate their diverse learning styles.

Dr.Sarada 2021A 5 A’s of e-learning in medical education, which can be summarized as follows:Analytics: E-learning platforms gather detailed information about students’ learning activities and performance over time, giving an evidence base to inform the most effective use of technology in instruction.Access: Anytime, anywhere. Students don’t have to wait for the library to open or to see a tutor.Adaptivity: E-learning applications can respond and adjust to each student. Customized instruction is possible, arguably more so than in traditional education, driven by ongoing evaluation of performance.Assessment: Technology gives us new methods of assessing learners over time and in more detail.Agility: E-learning technology enables instructors to implement new curricula quickly, update them rapidly, and connect students and teachers in new ways.

Dr. Premchand S AACME 2020BProposeE-learning has become very useful during this COVID pandemic as Offline classes are not allowed and classes are done online since one and half monthPerception of Teacher & Students on E-learning are:1. Students have reported that they attain more knowledge by understanding the subject better, acquire better skills, feel more satisfied due to easy accessibility, flexibility, and increased interactivity with co-participants.2. Various studies report that students prefer e-learning as a supplemental tool rather than replacement one.3. Teachers perceive that e-learning saves time in editing and updating of content, setting-up laboratory equipment and repeating the experiments, which could be utilized for face-to-face classes. They also do not have to worry about variation in content delivery.4. The less tech-savvy generation of teachers consider imposition of e-learning as an additional burden because they think it is less worthy, have time-constraints indeveloping the content, and have lack of confidence in meeting the technical demands.ADVANTAGES OF E-LEARNING:1. Flexibility and ease of access: E-learning is not fixed or time bound to a particular schedule and is very easily accessible, so learners can choose a place and time of their own liking. Teachers can also update and edit the learning material at their own convenience. The accessibility of the content via small size of the gadgets, mostly hand-held, also complements this feature. 2. Cosmopolitan nature: E-learning is sans frontiers, and this has been found to be useful in remote and rural areas as well. The participants may actually belong to any part of the globe. Rare cases and diseases peculiar to a particular geographical area can also be studied globally.3. Time-saving: More number of students can be taken up at same time, thereby reducing the time needed for total lectures. The content once made is eternal, and can be revisited any number of times. The saved time in preparing lectures can be used by the teachers to hone their higher level of cognitive e-learning.4. Stop-gap arrangement: E-learning can be used to hone the skills before actually encountering the real patient. This decreases the probability of error and also saves time. This allows repetition, and thereby improvement in the desired skills.5. Adult learning principles: E-learning helps in deeper learning, increases self-motivation, and fulfils the adult learning principles. It also allows the participants to set their own pace as per their learning styles and can be used as best suited tool for personalized and interactive e-learning experience. It is tailored to student’s needs andis learner-centered, thus helping in self-directed learning.6. Uniformity: Since identical information is posted to all the participants, the curricula uniformity is maintained across the learners. The students posted in off-site campuses also receive identical inputs. This helps in the uniform attainment of learning objectives because of equal availability of quality and quantity of information dispersed.
