ABSTRACT
‘Cloud Computing awareness and adoption is the need of the hour, to meet the current market demands and expectations in terms of quality of education and the competition that market is currently facing, it has become crucial to use technology to the best of its ability to be the bare minimum to land a safe and comfortable jobs that the business atmosphere in and around our country is looking forward to. Either be it a boon or a bane, this is being penetrated to a level that companies like BYJUS, white Hat Jr,, and many more Ed-Tech companies have started programs to preschoolers such as coding, game designing, making them understand the basics of UI/UX aspects. This is very much similar to the 2000-2008 fame waves that competitive exams and colleges like IIT’s and other elite colleges have seen. So it is suggested and insisted to make our working force of the education industry make them well aware of these aspects and prepare them future ready.Objective: To understand the level of awareness on cloud computing among academic practitioners in the Vijayawada and Guntur districts and to determine the level of awareness on the emerging technology. Methodology: A structured questionnaire and survey approach are used to perform the methodological research. Findings: The research identifies that a more collaborative training (train the trainers) is required for the cloud computing technologies among the teaching fraternity. The institutions have incorporated it in their syllabus as professional elective but the awareness and skilling among the practitioners has to be drawn.
ABSTRACT
Purpose>This study investigates a blended learning model which incorporates online learning for a competency-focused, work-based learning (WBL) programme within allied healthcare. The case-study is centred on hearing aid audiology.Design/methodology/approach>The study evaluated the feedback received through a tripartite group of stakeholders (learners, academic staff and employers).Findings>Results showed that although there was universal support for blended learning, incorporating online learning, each stakeholder contributed different perspectives. The authors identified that in terms of curriculum design, a comprehensive analysis of the holistic perspective across all stakeholders is essential to ascertain the suitability of this learning mode for WBL. The study may provide the basis of a preparatory framework for the development of a generic, competency-focused model that can be applied across allied healthcare WBL programmes.Originality/value>Although previous studies of WBL have been reported, to the knowledge of the authors, there is no current reference in the literature to studies that examine thematic areas relevant to all three stakeholders across a programme of this nature in hearing aid audiology.
ABSTRACT
In a world, which is characterised by globalization and a high speed of changes to working processes and jobs, the topic of innovation as a driver and precondition of economic growth becomes more and more important. The aim of this conference paper is to document the role of vocational education and training and its influence on innovation. Innovation is the basis for economic growth and the basis for economic growth is a well-trained workforce, which is only available when education systems, especially occupational education systems, target to bring forth highly qualified people, who have foresight and the potential to excel. The success of a country and its position in world economy is a result of its capability to develop human resources, to make people ready and open-minded for innovation and innovation processes. A result of this study is that innovation ensuing from vocational education and training is measurable and becomes visible by comparing economies' key education and innovation parameters.
