1. Learning on the go—Facilitating students to study at their own convenience anywhere, anytime 

On the self-learning front, it seems to be still in a nascent stage due to a lot more school involvement of the child and overreliance on neighbourhood tuition centres. However, the trend here we are observing is a desire to have proper evaluation of the child by parents to help him in specific areas.

Therefore, I believe that a new trend here will be personalised learning based on a rocket science-level evaluation state machine.

2. Learning at the speed of need—Access to online learning material & digital content through various devices

Today, due to high-tech networks and multimedia, the education sector has emerged as a fast-developing field. Another prominent result of the use of technology in education is that there is an extensive change in the teaching and learning methods, styles, and content across many schools in India.

With computers and digital elements in classrooms, students find studying more enjoyable. The aim of a teacher, however, should be to create such an atmosphere that makes every student want to study. Moreover, considering that the young students today are usually surrounded by computers, iPads, and mobiles, bringing the same technology into the classrooms makes them feel at ease and acquainted.

The interactive preface of this segment ignites learning with a pedigree of learning out of leisure with creativity, fun, and entertainment on cards via the wonderful apps, podcasts, videos, interactive software, eBooks, and online interactive electronic boards. Children are excited and operative with interest in managing the showcase via their intelligence, exploring the weak techno skills of teachers, and assisting them in public with pride and honour and recognition. Now the classes are student-friendly, student-operated, and info-packed.

4. Popularity of online courses—MOOCs & other distant learning programs 

Talking about the popularity of MOOCs in India, India is the second biggest market for MOOCs in the world, after the USA. It is, however, expected that India in the coming years will supersede the USA. Our country has the largest population in the world and is third in terms of university enrolment worldwide. Respectively, the USA and China are first and second for university enrolment at the moment, but this may soon change.

MOOCs have opened the gateways for a lot of Indians in terms of being part of an educational revolution. It gives a great opportunity to avail high-quality learning with the help of internet connectivity. Two foremost reasons as to why MOOCs are a good idea in India are that millions of Indians live in poverty and are unable to afford or gain access to a higher education, and secondly, there are more applicants than seats in the Indian universities.
