Rahi, a global integrated IT enterprise solutions provider has helped educational institutes to set up virtual classrooms during the pandemic to impart education from kindergarten to post-graduate degrees. Rahi provides a virtual system that is different from the traditional and conventional systems, to create virtual classrooms and deliver lectures, and train students in a similar way as they would in brick and mortar classrooms. Around 1.5 billion students and teachers, faculty depend on a digital platform to create a learning environment. During the pandemic, the education sector was the most challenged. It practically came to a standstill and realigning schools, institutes to a new way of thinking was the only way ahead. The digital transformation brought about a significant change and the sector rebooted to deliver results.
With hybrid classrooms, clear audio-video experiences, easy-to-use highly collaborative video conferencing, and advanced tools, digitalisation can help both students and educators, they can have a more interactive and collaborative learning experience. Video conferencing solutions such as Zoom, which allow educators to virtually onboard students, can help make learning more efficient.
Adaptive learning is another tool used by institutes. In this kind of teaching, faculty use data analytics to monitor students’ progress and make appropriate modifications to their teaching. The most recent and rapidly evolving trend in the education sector is the use of augmented and virtual reality, which provides a virtual tour of locations or allows students to study various subjects using augmented reality.
Speaking on special initiatives undertaken by the company, Vijay Gupta, Director, Global Human Resources, Rahi said, “Adoption of new-age technologies, infrastructure, and adherence to a defined framework for implementations in learning and teaching environments is required for digital transformation in education. Effective deployment of e-learning technologies will make education more engaging, collaborative, and relevant.”
He further continued, “While it may seem like a tough goal to achieve, digital transformation provides a seemingly infinite array of benefits, evolving with the zeitgeist. With education on the line, innovation is the key to simple, advanced and better learning outcomes.
Rahi has partnered with Zoom to deliver a complete portfolio of audio and video solutions that are quick and easy to deploy, use, and manage for companies of all industries. Zoom device management has brought out a simple plug-and-play solution to manage Zoom rooms and devices from anywhere. Zoom helps businesses and organisations bring their teams together in a frictionless environment to get quick work done. Rahi’s active global channel partnership with Zoom would increase productivity, engagement, and communication challenges across the world. Rahi, on one hand, has tie-ups with 62 companies while Zoom on the other has 379 companies as their partner ecosystem.
With digital transformation, there has been a paradigm shift in teaching as infrastructure has progressed significantly from blackboards to whiteboards. With Zoom; remote proctoring has become a possibility eliminating the need for an invigilator to be physically present at the exam site. Another change is the use of gamified teaching techniques to impart knowledge and improve student collaborations in times when physical participation is not an option.
