I am fulfilling my earlier promise to provide for the benefit of the public, few valuable highlights on my well-researched keynote address as titled above:
▪Tech-driven learning mode predated Covid-19 pandemic, but now new learning and teaching post-covid-19 normal that has come to stay
▪E- learning makes computer and digital literacy imperative for all the stakeholders involved in the new learning mode
▪With E-learning, academics will in addition to being pushed to “Publish or Perish” are also now expected to be “Computer and digitally Literate or go Obsolete”
▪With the upsurge of webinars and e-conferences, academics will have to contend with the new challenge of being careful enough to differentiate the genuine from the fake and phony e-conferences and webinars that are convened but never held.
We just had first-level interviews for the appointment of lecturers/ Professors in my University. Guess what?:
>Practical tests on the computer and digital literacy formed an essential part of the candidates’ assessment for their employability.
Technologically leveraged learning mode has come to stay and has made computer and digital literacy imperative skills for learners and educators.
