April 2020

• Corona pandemic has disturbed academic calendars everywhere in the world.
• There is a deeply felt need for new approaches to teaching and learning. Students everywhere need to be

provided effective alternatives to the orthodox “on campus, in classroom or lab” format.

• MediSys therefore offering its products for the use of teachers and students free of charge for 2-3 months,

until normalcy is restored.

• These products are of course immensely relevant in the classroom or library as well, and can improve

learning outcomes and asset efficiencies.

• The teaching and learning aids of MediSys comprehensively cover the entire curriculum of MBBS, BDS,

B.Sc (Nursing) and BHMS. Together with a custom designed Learning Management System, online education is easy to manage and highly effective.

• Students and the faculty share these pages, concurrent and seamless access helps in anchoring the class
• firmly. Revisions are subsequently are easy.

The Context of COVID-19 crisis

 Competency based/ outcome based education: a new approach to teaching/learning/assessments, incorporating a complex new set of exercises and disciplines, that require careful deliberation. ICT aides may become important in successful implementation.  Deficit of good teachers: to meet requirements of existing colleges as also a large planned expansion in certain regions (new institutions, increasing annual enrolments).  Deficit/absence of pedagogy for a new age: incorporating a far greater role for visuals, interactivity. A different approach to writing text; a new reliance on telecom to update / add / modify learning materials on a continuous

• basis. Sensitivity to changing expectations and preferences, as also to the needs of those coming from rural or non-

English speaking backgrounds.  Ability to address heterogeneous classrooms: this has been an issue- the need to provide efficient, effective remedial and supplementary education for weaker learners, in important or ‘difficult to master’ subjects/skills.  Need for standardised, continuous assessment of knowledge, competency and skills: swift, objective, set in different contexts, for different learning elements.  Need for innovative use of ICT:

• a. To improve learning outcomes on a more consistent basis
• b. To reduce costs dramatically
• c. To facilitate collaboration
