- Teja Boncheruvu

A paradigm shift towards outcome based education models coupled with growing demand for the student-centric modes of education with interactive platforms has led to the increased adoption of technology in the education sector. Latest innovations such as holographic technology, AI, AR and VR have revolutionized the process of learning world-wide by transforming the mediums of knowledge sharing into easily accessible digital means, thereby bringing the knowledge recipients and knowledge centers closer with improved interactions.

While technology has been greatly improving the quality of education and learning process globally, Indian education system still continues to face a lot challenges in terms of huge gap between knowledge acquired in institutions and skills that are actually required by the industry. The Annual Employability Survey 2019 report by Aspiring Minds shows that over 80 percent of Indian Engineers are unemployable. Hence, there is a need for fundamental change in the education system for a successful transition towards knowledge economy. Educational institutions are looking for technology solutions that help them bridge the skill gaps with interactive learning and assessment platforms integrated with outcome based curriculum design in order to address the problems of unemployability. However, majority of institutions fail to leverage technology owing to lack of comprehensive solutions that are in line with accreditation norms that suit their specific requirements and post-implementation support required for the seamless operations. This is where IonEducation Suite comes into the picture assisting educational institutions to harness the full potential of digital technologies by providing end-to-end solutions for academic ERP as per outcome based education model and accreditation norms.
