Abstract

In today’s digital era, e-learning and digital classroom solutions are changing the way the subjects are taught in private schools, providing for standardization and enhanced knowledge delivery. A few large companies in India have implemented E learning and digital classroom solutions in India in over 30,000 private schools. The private schools in India are facing acute shortage of good teachers, thanks to the growth in private sector job opportunities and poor salary and job insecurity in private schools. The schools have to compromise and manage with teachers of varying quality and standards. Against this declining standard of teachers, can elearning and digital classroom solutions help in ensuring effective knowledge delivery to students. This paper will specifically look at effective knowledge delivery through e-learning and digital classroom solutions by teachers at secondary level CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) schools in Bangalore. The research is based on two key hypotheses viz., e-Learning and digital classroom solutions help in effective knowledge delivery; e-Learning and digital classroom solutions help the teachers at secondary level in CBSE schools enhance quality of teaching. The research assesses the schools that have adopted e-learning and digital classroom solutions in Bangalore in terms of whether these solutions help in effective knowledge delivery at schools. The study also evaluates the factors of e-learning and digital classroom solutions that help the teachers in enhancing their quality of teaching.
