The current education system primarily works guided by the exams, evaluations and assessments, and not by kindling the spark of curiosity in the learner’s mind. As COVID-19 has put brakes on the traditional teaching methods in schools and colleges. The silver lining is that it has handed the educationists the right opportunity to rethink the way we approach learning at the institutions, questioning the fundamentals and fighting our own demons, explains Prof PJ Narayanan in this powerful talk as the head of a reputed technological institution that is leading the change in education in the COVID-19 times. Prof P. J. Narayanan is a familiar name and face in the technology city of Hyderabad. A passionate tech-educator, he is known for his work in Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, and GPU Computing. A CUDA and INAE Fellow.
