Cloud For managing Teaching and Learning

Cloud is a combination of hardware, storage system, networking and interface that will aid in delivery of the computing service. Cloud is storage and retrieve service providing over the internet network. Cloud based learning helps the lecturers student to access file storage, database, virtual library and e-resources, anywhere, any time (Nicholson, 2015).

In today world the method of learning has been changing, students want flexibility in receiving the knowledge. People want to learn flexibly rather than going to class and attend lecture. The cloud method is perfect tool for managing this flexibility for the student. They can attend class or receive knowledge whenever they want .Even teacher can provide knowledge with flexibility and efficient manner to the student.

There are lots of advantages of cloud method. Following are some advantages of the cloud method:

a.       When we use cloud technique for managing learning system less no of teachers, classroom, books, materials are required.

b.      The interaction between the students and professor is very fast in cloud system.

c.       It is also saves lots of time of student as well as instructor.

d.      Provide the fast access to the study material.

e.       It helps in collaborative learning as we can access to any university , organizations , institution.

f.       It also gives equal education opportunities to the learners.

The disadvantages of cloud method are as follows:

a.       Initial investment for implementing the system can become costly.

b.      It create gap between the old professors and recently enter professor because old professors intend to follow the old method of teaching instead of the new one.

c.       The entire student may not have access to the internet facility so it will become difficult to use such system in rural school and colleges.

d.      As it require fund to keep it up to date, some universities may not able to run it in long time, because some universities are government owned and some are private which is run on the basis of fund provided by NGOs.

e.       The system of cloud technology may become vulnerable because hacker may hack the system and all the data of the institution and organization may become accessible to them.

From above we can say that cloud based learning is more effective for teaching and learning activities. As students and lecturer can interact with each other fast, can exchange the study material with flexibility, which will increase the efficiency of both student as well as professor and the administration of the institution. Student can learn from anywhere with their own pace. We can say that cloud based method of teaching and learning is boon to education sector as it helps everybody involve in education sector to make system of education more flexible and efficient and time saving. This cloud based method can be seen more effective during the COVID pandemic, where student can access to the study material, and virtual laboratories for studying purpose. In overall we can say that cloud technology is need of current education system which will make it more scientific and access to the remote part as well when setup is done correctly.

 RESEARCH  ACTION SUBJECT:

Impact of Parent's economic condition in student's classroom performance

 

Economic condition have major role in every aspect of human activities. This research topics aims to study its impact on the student class room performance .As we see the economic conditions of student in class room are not same. Some student has good economic back ground and some have weak economic background. It is seen that students with good economic conditions are good in study in comparison to that of the student with weak economic condition. We know that student with sound economics condition can get study material in time, healthy diet, playful environment in house, good study environment in house and tutor facilities. In case of the student from weak economic condition they do not get such opportunity as a result of which they are deprived of having better learning facilities which will affect their student class room performance. It is seen that students with poor economic background has health issue since they have nutrient deficit diet and  they keep frequently absent from the class room , they are fail to prepare their assignment in time which may  be result of not getting study material in time. Student of such families have to work with their parent s for living hand to mouth as result they get less time for their reading writing work which will lead to the poor academic performance. From above discussion we can say that economic conditions of student have impact on class room performance.

 

E-pedagogies

Teaching method has been changing. Previously the teaching is taken in classes now the scenario has been changed the class can be taken anywhere with the aid of the technology. These technologies   has provided flexibility for both faculty and student. They can give time for their class easily and complete their course on their own pace. New technology based  teaching method will now replace the old method of teaching in class room .

E-pedagogies is the subject which deals with how the technology can be use for the better teaching learning process. This subject deals how technology can be integrated  for the learning process.
