NEW DELHI: The demand for non-traditional education is growing but there is a shortage ofqualified educational technology (ET) professionals and researchers. With an aim to bridge the gap, IIT Bombay will introduce M.Tech in Educational Technology (ET) programme from the upcoming session. “While the country is moving towards digital learning, there is a shortage ofqualified ET experts in various research labs, curriculum design roles in schools and colleges, industries for creating educational applications, training departments for online and remote trainings, and content creator industries for creation of technology-enhanced learning material and field implementation works,” says Veenita Saha, research-scientist and spokesperson, ET, IIT-B. The primary reason for this dearth is that ET is an emerging discipline and there are not many dedicated courses at the undergraduate or postgraduate levels. The programme will screen learners from diverse background with who have keen int...

a a Smaller sub-centres, cluster colleges, courses on oceanography and a training academy for examiners — the University of Mumbai’s perspective plan proposes several changes. Experts say efficient implementation and administration will be key to driving chan Instead of just the Fort and Kalina campus, if other University centres are granted more powers and administered well, each can tackle issues faced by the students in that region. SUDHAKAR TAMBOLI, former senate member of MU Ashish Chawla, 20, a third-year student of information technology at Thadomal Shahani Engineering College in Bandra, still remembers how he had to visit the University of Mumbai’s (MU) Kalina campus multiple times to ask for his revaluation results, after he failed in his math paper in June. “Technically, it should have come out in August last year, so that if I still didn’t qualify I would have enough time to prepare for the December exams,” says Chawla. While everybody else got their results...
