Prof Surendranath Reddy welcomed the Resource Person and the gathering. The session was presided over by Dr. Rupa Gunaseelan, Director, Bharathiar School of Management, Coimbatore. Ms Rupa Gunaseelan briefed about some of the educational implications of current uses of Artificial Intelligence as an aid in solving problems and accomplishing tasks. She also discussed the current and potential impact of AI on our educational system. She also emphasized the importance of technology and how it has created more equitable and accessible paths to education. She pointed out technology and innovation make students more globalized and interconnected, with the help of online books, audio content, images, and videos. She highlighted the significance of MOOC in the current situation. Instead of having access to one source, students have hundreds; instead of reading words in a book, educators can bring them to life in the form of videos; and instead of having to attend class in one specific location, students can now attend a class from anywhere in the world. She also emphasized that a teacher’s presence in a classroom is more important now than ever before, though the technology is redefining their role. The webinar helped the participants to understand that with the tremendous amount of information accessible to students today, educators may not serve as the primary presenter or lecturer, but they are essential guides helping students navigate the depth of knowledge and vast information now available.
