Transforming university students from consumers to developers of online content
Old fashioned study is no more in trend, in this electronic era students search out for study material online. They are no longer interested in taking classes
The goal of the initiative was to investigate how students could be transformed from consumers to developers of online content. Choosing a subject like climate and sustainability and creating an online page where students can update their theories and researches and can also get to know about what it all brings. Nowadays everything is online and students also wish to study online. They can do so by creating a team and creating online content. Students must be encouraged so that they can do better in their field of research. Students can also describe their personal experiences with making personal change and can also give personal recommendations of how online learners can take action at the personal, community and national level. Today’s students are members of the “digital generation”. They have spent their lives surrounded by visual, electronic media and virtual reality. It is important that faculty members of universities become designers of learning experiences, in which they students tend to learn primarily on their own through reading, writing, and problem solving. They can develop collective learning experiences in which students work together and learn together, with the faculty member becoming more of a consultant or a coach than a teacher. Faculty members are more focused on inspiring, motivating and managing an active learning process by students. The process of creating new knowledge of research and scholarship is also helping students to learn new skills.
