From slates and chalk pieces to IWBs, we have revolutionized ourselves as a learning being. 21st-century automation has made few of the most stirring learning metamorphisms involving the internet, online portals, mobility, mobile apps, Bluetooth and wireless technology, virtual assistants, and integrated IT infrastructure. This sort of renaissance has been appreciated by teachers, students/learners, and parents alike. As pedagogy has shifted to group learning, learning at home, a smart classroom, hands-on integrated learning, more gadgets, and devices are the new parameters now. India's education sector has upped the use of newage technologies such as cloud computing to virtual reality, as the government looks to implement large-scale reforms such as Revitalising Infrastructure and Systems in Education (RISE) scheme. Quick fact: Union Government has earmarked 10 billion INR as expenditure for RISE scheme. Technology-enabled initiatives or platforms in line with Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) such as Swayam (for teachers' training) have seen the use of technologies. Nevertheless, the government should be looking to step up the use of tools such as virtual lab, virtual reality (VR)-enabled classrooms or curated online content for both students and teachers. More so, eLearning can be the harbinger in introducing a massive social change in the Indian society. With more than 400 million Internet users and more than 330 million connected smartphone users, it's high time we break the stereotypes of taking interest on the downside of technology in education and focus more on its potential. In a quest to acknowledge that education- the most surreal of all human endeavors, has witnessed a huge disruptive change due to internet, our cover feature, IYCWorld SoftInfrastructure laid the foundations to WST- Whole School Transformation. In this edition of CIOReview India, we have assembled 20 of the most influencing change bringers in the ever evolving education space. Their constant efforts to get rid of the debate are commendable. Take a look and let us know what you think.Emmanuel Christi DasAsst. Managing Editoremmanuel@cioreviewindia.com.Some Large Scale Reforms in Education PublisherEditorAsst.
