"We have been experimenting with open learning in more than one ways and has numerous connotation also but to put in simple words it is a movement encompassing a variety of educational content like blended learning, compatibility content, accessibility and adaptability, deeper learning, to name but a few. But the actual meaning of it lies in few simple words; it is an excellent open method which can be accessed by anyone from any part of the world through the internet", says enthusiast Prof. Vijaykumar.
Dr. Nikhil Agarwal, Director Europe Asia Business School says, "We have to understand the difference between literacy & education. Literacy means ability to read & write; whereas, Education means activities that impart knowledge or skills. Europe Asia Business School supports the MIT initiative of open learning and we offer to be partner of MIT in India to reach out millions of people who needs proper & continuous education". He further adds "Technology will play a vital role in continuous learning in the next decade. The common mistake people make to relate technology with computers, which is not always the case. I think in near future, the most important medium for imparting continuous education will be mobile phones & televisions. For instance, In India, we have over 600 million mobile users compared to 70 million computer users."
