Innovator of digital publishing technology with over a decade of experience, Subrat Mohanty, CEO of HurixDigital is powering business agility for leading publishers

The Silicon Review

Gone are the days when learning was restricted to the classroom, with the instructor being the primary source of knowledge. Digital technology has unshackled learning, providing learners a wealth of opportunities to learn what they want to learn, how they want to learn, and where they want to learn with just a few clicks of the mouse. While the role of the instructor remains undiminished, students today have several resources at their fingertips, allowing them to take control and self-direct their learning. A digital learning platform can be a learning management system (LMS) or learning content management systems (LCMS). It can also be a virtual classroom tool or a virtual learning environment (VLE). While each platform varies in function and features, all digital learning platforms supports all types of learning, i.e., online learning, classroom learning, and blended learning. With the Internet and digital technology becoming an integral aspect of our lives, education too, has gone online, mandating specialized technology solutions to support online learning.

Higher Education Solutions: E-Learning in Higher Education is currently contributing to a paradigm shift. Changing workforce demographics, acute skills shortage, and ongoing economic uncertainties are compelling employers to rethink traditional approaches to talent management. The rise of automation and the gig economy are changing the way they work, and therefore, they need to bring about a change in the way they learn. Both businesses and the Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) have been slow to adapt their educational models to cater to both – the changing needs of the workforce and the changing profiles of the learners, who are clearly moving away from macro to micro/nano degrees. There’s an evident need for better collaboration between businesses and the HEIs. For HEIs to prepare for what comes next, they will need flexible partnerships that provide them with predictive and agile approaches to skills identification. They need to adopt a ‘smart’ learning approach with strong learning design principles, greater speed, agility, and digitally driven delivery.
