The education landscape is now a highly connected learning environment, with the proliferation of mobile devices and the expansion of high-speed broadband infrastructure globally. Therefore, Cisco’s Digital Learning strategy and messaging is perfectly placed to help our education customers achieve greater business and educational outcomes. The solutions set within the Digital Learning domain specifically addresses the teaching, learning and research imperatives of our education customers.
Some of the solutions Cisco has built around Digital Learning are as follows:
Connected Learning
Connected Learning is about creating a foundation technology-enhanced learning environment, fully leveraging BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), mobility, security and Internet access to enable a blended and seamless learning experience – anytime, anywhere, with any device, to any resource.
Learning Spaces
Learning Spaces are becoming one of the most discussed topics with Education Line of Business decision makers, as the attention turn from administrative efficiencies of education delivery towards that of academic effectiveness. This in turn drives the focus on learner engagement, and effectiveness of these technology-enhanced learning spaces in engaging learners and educators, effectively. Given the tech-savvy new generation of learners, the seamless engagement across learning spaces are also critical considerations.
Seamless Classrooms
Learning today is not confined to 1hr class or the physical boundary of the school. The latest industry trends suggest learning to be continuous – before the class, during the class and even after the class. Students should have access to a digital platform where teachers can give pre-work, record live lectures, to be made available on the same platform & answer queries/doubts after the class on the same platform – making it a seamless learning experience. This digital platform becomes a single window of engagement for all the stakeholders of a particular stream.
Employing a variety of integrated Cisco solutions, including Webex online meetings and Webex Teams all-in-one communications, Digital Learning is a complete live/online learning environment that can change where and how much students learn. Whether flipping, capturing, or enhancing courses, faculty members can easily create and schedule classes, then use our video and collaboration tools to fully engage students and improve outcomes.
Skills Build Solutions for Schools
India is a country today with 65% of its youth in the working age group. If ever there is a way to reap this demographic advantage, it has to be through skill development of the youth so that they add not only to their personal growth, but to the country’s economic growth as well.
Cisco’s Digital Learning Solutions boost the Skill Movement in India. Solutions like Connected Learning and Seamless Classrooms empowers school administration to provide learning into remote and rural areas using Webex platform.
