Dr. Raghurao Akkinepally, Director of NIPER, Mohali, an alumnus of Panjab University and having more than thirty two years of teaching experience underscored the importance of Open Learning and said that a lot of openness was being offered by knowledge/data sources like Wikipedia. The contemporary education scenario was witnessing the intersection of education, teaching and learning with information and technology. An integrated instructional approach blending the actual and the digital was now the order of the day. He listed the various benefits of Open and Distance Learning-massification, democratising education, cost effectiveness, second chance to those who missed out and a guarantee of Life Long Learning. In the wake of the onslaught of digitalisation, he opined that actual learning was losing its importance. He added that online media communications like Twitter, You Tube, Face book etc. also allow for a rapid sharing of ideas.
Prof. Raghurao cautioned that over-dependence on digital platforms and accepting Google as the Guru was leading to excessive information and confusion thereby. The crucial question thus is the validation of this knowledge. Prof. Raghurao advocated the best out of the actual and the digital modes by developing hybrid models, encouraging hands on training and putting teaching experience to the maximum use. He did emphasise the importance of video-lectures and on-line discussion forms to supplement the actual learning of professional courses.
