New Delhi/Patna, 31 August (HS). Digital or online education is a mixture of distance education and adult education. Dr. Birbal Jha, Managing Director of British Lingua, the country's renowned institute in the field of spoken English, said on Saturday.
Dr. Birbal Jha, in his address after the competition organized at the Boring Road Center of British Lingua on the topic “Learning knows no age, place or limit in digital era”, said that till a few years ago, students were unable to get regular education due to lack of time and resources, for such people, digital education, which we also know as online education, has made it quite easy.
Dr. Jha further said that the time has gone when people had to spend a huge amount of money to enroll in expensive institutions in India and abroad for formal and informal education or training. Addressing the participants of the speech competition organized on the occasion of “World Distance Education Day”, Dr. Jha said that the time has gone when we used to use postcards, inland letters etc. to send any information to our close ones or close relatives. Many times our post used to take months to reach or we used to reach before that.
He said that in today's digital age, we have become capable of fulfilling hundreds of our needs through e-mail. Similarly, we used to send money to our loved ones through money order which sometimes took months to reach, whereas today in the digital age, we are able to do the same work in minutes through UPI. The coming generation will also remember this decade of the twenty-first century for the information revolution.
Jha said that today we are able to fulfill most of the needs of our life sitting at home through smart phones. Reminding the students of the Corona period, he said that during the Corona epidemic, the whole world had come to a standstill. People were locked in their homes. Schools, colleges all had to be closed. Then the model of online education brought a ray of hope for us. A network of optical fiber was laid by our government across the country. From school education to IIT, IIM, provided online education to their students sitting at home. Today most of the competitive examinations are being conducted online.
While talking about the online training of British Lingua, he said that earlier we were able to provide spoken English training to students only at the place where our centre is located. But now, in our online course, on one hand, students from remote villages are learning to speak English while sitting at home. At the same time, many professionals across the country, for whom it was not possible to do the course due to lack of time, are also learning English while sitting at home by choosing time according to their busy schedule. Not only this, many people are joining online courses from Middle East countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Lebanon etc. Thus, the mode of online or digital learning has completely eliminated the limits of age, distance, status etc.
On this occasion, hundreds of participants and winners were honored by giving them certificates. The participants of the competition included Ranjeet Kumar, Chandan Kumar, Prachi Boobna, Atishek Kumar, Shweta Kumari, Kumar Ravi, Yusuf Khan, Rajyavardhan Sharma, Akanksha, Nandini, Simran Kumari, Dinanath, Archana Kumari, Mohammad Sajid, Pallavi Kumari, Himanshu Kumar, Ananya Kumari, Saloni, Anamika, Shikha, Prabhu, Armaan, Neha Yadav, Rashmi, Armaan, etc.
