The Union Minister of Human Resource Development, Prakash Javadekar on February 20, 2019 launched the ‘Operation Digital Board’ to boost quality education in the country.
The Operation Digital Board is a revolutionary step which will make the learning as well as the teaching process interactive and will popularise flipped learning as a pedagogical approach.
| Note: Flipped learning is an instructional strategy that reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering instructional content often online, outside of the classroom. |
An expert committee has worked out optimum configuration of the Digital Class Rooms under the Operation Digital Board.
Highlights of Operation Digital Board
• Under the Operation Digital Board, 7 lakh classrooms of 9th, 10th and 11th standards and 2 lakh classrooms of colleges and Universities will be equipped with digital boards in the next three years.
• The digital board will be introduced all over the country in government and government aided schools from class 9th onwards as well as in higher education institutions.
• The operation aims to convert a class room into a digital class room and make available the e-resources at any time and at any place to students.
• It will also help in providing personalised adaptive learning as well as Intelligent Tutoring by exploiting emerging technologies like Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence & Data Analytics.
• The implementation will begin from the coming session of 2019 itself.
