A study and Analysis of Modern Education and Digitalized Teaching among Universities
Abstract:
The education which is taught in the universities today is the modern education. Modern education teaches about the skills required today that is the skills of science and technology, science of medical science etc. In addition to listening, the modern education includes writing, visualizing, imagining, and thinking skills. Modern education widens the intellect of a student by introducing new methods and objective psychology, which enables him to face different situations with confidence. (ii) It helps in developing analytical skills among students so that they can understand complex issues easily. Digital education is the innovative use of digital tools and technologies during teaching and learning, and is often referred to as Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) or e-Learning. Digital tools and platforms are becoming ever more integral to our personal and working lives. Digital learning increases access to education and knowledge while empowering students with a mindset and capabilities that sets them up for success in their present and future. For educators the model will help to design, describe and evaluate current online learning practices. For learners, it will help to explain how teaching and learning occurs in their studies and will assist them to seek greater value from their learning experience. Additionally, the DTLE model (Digital Teaching and Learning Ecosystem) will provide a practical methodology to rank online units in terms of design layout, navigability and accessibility, content, interactivity, assessment, and student engagement.

Strategies for Information Management in Language Education: The Malaysian Experience
Abstract:
Management of information in education suggests strongly of strategic thinking that guide policy-makers, school principals, teachers, and learners. Malaysia somewhat concurs with this in theory and in practice, however, not much has been covered on strategies for information management in language education. Is the actual practice of technology-mediated language education driven more by the available technologies than by actual learner needs, good management principles and the wider national imperative? In this keynote, there might be lessons to learn from a Malaysian university experience. It reports and analyses conversations with five Malaysian university language educators who are managing the impact of technology in different ways (reactive and pro-active), at different levels (Bachelor, Master and PhD programmes), and in different roles (lecturers, administrators and supervisor). Open-ended conversations with these educators were recorded, transcribed and analysed. Findings reveal that whilst technology appears to drive instructional practice, administration duties and supervision, a few challenges are recorded for information management in language education. These will be discussed with examples. Detailed analysis of the findings further reveals the need to manage investments in educational technologies at different levels and in different ways for language education.
