Why digitalization is necessary in education?

Now a days everything has gone online, Be it shopping, banking, business, food – everything. This phenomenon has made our life easier and at the same time more interesting too.  Then how can Education stay behind. The use of internet for the sake of education is the most beneficial move in today’s world. Let say if students are preparing for exams what will they need the most? All study material; guidance from teachers and most importantly practice for solving questions because unless and until you practice your knowledge, you can’t generate the desired results in exams. This is where online test taking becomes a useful habit.

            Students often get confused about the exam patterns and the type of questions being asked in exams. We have many booklets on model question paper sets available in market but they are printed once in a year and do not have any updates that happened throughout the year. But this confusion can be settled by taking test series. Online test series keep on updating as per the changes in exam patterns. There is plethora of questions of various kinds available in online test series. Many times questions of same type are grouped together and a separate test is dedicated for that. In this way students can get expertise in each and every form of exam. Students practicing such test series will be well prepared for all types of challenges in the exam.
Test taking on paper is lot more time consuming and requires much efforts from students; also assessment in this case is slower. Whereas in case of online test series efforts from both students as well as teachers are required in less amount. The assessment is also faster. As soon as you submit the test you will get result of your test. It also provides solution for all the wronged questions. So students get to know where they are lacking and they can do improvements accordingly. Knowing the lacuna in study at right time is of utmost importance. This helps to build the conceptual understanding of subject which makes students more confident about their preparations.
Online test series comes with a complete package. It has daily, weekly and monthly tests, so that we can keep record of student’s growth. Also tests are distributed on the basis of subjects, terms in the school and yearly syllabus. They are much more user friendly than paper tests. Online test series comes with nice graphics making it interesting for students. The biggest advantage of online test series is they are resource free as they completely eliminates the pen-paper. No need to take care of all the bundles of papers throughout the year and there is no question of fading ink leading to reading problem afterwards. Thus online test series are environment friendly too.

These tests series make students mentally well prepared for exam so when students are giving their actual exam it is like Sachin Tendulkar playing on home ground. They completely vanish tension, uncertainty and fear from student’s mind. Thus, students actually enjoy exams.

Need Of An Hour - Online Exams In Schools

School. Those wonderful years of our lives that we miss to this day and which created the foundation of our position in life today. School was our first step towards the learning environment and forms the basis of our educational development. How we experienced our schooling days and our first touch with nationalized exams (boards) gave us the head start to face examinations and life in general, till date. But did it really? In today’s time, most exams, some interviews and general procedures have mostly been transferred online. The transition from paper exams to giving online exams was a major challenge for most of us and it took considerable time to adapt to these changes. Coming from a minority government funded schooling environment, candidates now face vast issues in meeting expectations of computer knowledge.

Need Of Digitization In The Assessment Of School Students

This year the C.B.S.E (Central Board of Secondary Education) witnessed yet another controversy in the form of the Mathematics paper. Angry parents from around the country protested against the extremely difficult and twisted pattern of questions that left most students confused and demoralized. In a formal statement, the C.B.S.E admitted that the paper was not set as per the general guidelines and contained questions which were challenging even for bright students to attempt.  Although human examining brings about a certain personalization to the scoring system, it loses the ability to provide fair examining opportunities to the disciple. So how can this situation be salvaged? Equality. Freedom. Fair practices. Uniform teaching. These terms are the key to answering this question. If a system is devised to keep a track of the student’s progress throughout the year using various testing techniques as well as providing access to knowledge in seamless fashion, a brighter an...

Should schools opt for online test taking platforms?

Yesterday when I came home from work, I found my younger brother, who is in 7 th standard now, sitting with bundles of paper around him. With curiosity I asked him what these papers are about. He told me those papers were of his academic tests that were conducted throughout the year. He kept on adding papers to bundles and I started wondering exactly what purpose these tests are serving and how is any school able to keep record of each student with so many bundles of papers. The value addition of such tests is indeed a concern. CCE (Continuous & Comprehensive Examination) is introduced in all CBSE schools for overall evaluation of students. The main purpose of CCE is to make teaching – learning experience tension free and enjoyable. Under this, tests are conducted on weekly basis. The syllabus for it will be that covered in respective weeks. The results of these tests show where students need more guidance and improvements. This in turn makes each and every student fully prepa...
