Distance Education in the COVID-19 Pandemic

As the COVID-19 disease rapidly transmitted through interpersonal contact, it required people to avoid physical contact. Almost all countries in the world have suspended the education of children and youth, a highly active network, and switched to online education to reduce the spread of the virus. Distance education, unlike the traditional education system, has a structure that does not require students to be on a campus or be in the same environment with instructors. As the global epidemic broke out, the distance education system was reviewed, and a new education order started to be established. Students, parents, and teachers found themselves in a situation they were not used to before. In this study, the advantages and disadvantages of distance education are analyzed, hybrid and hybrid-flexible (hyflex) models are examined, the educational changes during the pandemic period as well as the anticipations of the post-pandemic period are reviewed, and lastly, future educational solutions are proposed.

Research on Robot Dynamic Path Planning Based on Multiple Linear Reinforcement Learning

Under the background of digital and intelligent transformation, all walks of life are facing the conflict between internal stability and rapidly changing external needs, and the conflict between stable background and dynamic foreground. To solve these conflicts and problems, it needs to take new means to adjust from multiple dimensions. Draw support from the new info and communication operation support system, it could form a digital Internet info support system with the cloud platform, which can effectively establish fast and flexible front-end utilizations and support the rapid development, agile iteration and on-demand adjustment of related businesses. The Internet backbone network needs to make the info open. The new info communication operation support system based on the Internet can enable the info resources to be transmitted as needed. The research and utilization of cloud resource visualization and controllability has gradually become the key to the development of new Internet communication operation system. On the premise of systematically combing the Internet info and communication operation support system, this paper comprehensively studies the utilization of cloud resources, and analyses the utilization scenarios of cloud resources of the new education communication operation system, in order to better ameliorate the more efficient and secure utilization of cloud resources and communication operation system inside and outside the enterprise.

Can New Education Policy 2020 Serve as a Paradigm Shift to the Employability Gap in India?

Employment and employability have lately surfaced as a significant concern for India that stands as the world's second central higher education system. The post-COVID-19 era further demanded a comprehensive policy at the national level. The Indian government approved the new education policy (NEP), bringing changes to higher education in the country on 29th July 2020.

The second purpose is to adumbrate the gaps between industry and academia in the proposed NEP 2020 to propose some transformative steps to fill the outlined gap. Thirdly, the main findings are depicted through a graphical representation to give some directions for future policy and research in employability.

Collateral beauty in the wind of truth: reclaiming a new sense of reality

It is beautiful to be able to have the opportunity to allow oneself a doubt on the unquestionability of one's mental habits; it is beautiful to be able to renew one's energy to relate to the world in a way not bent by the banality of convenience and calculation. It is beautiful to realise that one feels the need for beauty as an inspirational motive for one's thinking, feeling and acting, and as a resource towards a new education. The serious pandemic crisis has probably accelerated a necessary but demanding process that takes time to accomplish: that of becoming aware of a reality based on the principle of interconnection and interdependence – of the person with all his/her dimensions, with each other, with the Cosmos. I believe that this new perception of reality – as the result of an experience – can mark a new step for the discourse and pedagogical practice so as to devote itself to a new form of beauty in the search for a ἀλήθεια (aletheia) truth to be configured as a desire for unveiling and deep understanding of the sense of reality, to be nourished in a revitalised interdisciplinarity, with a sense of wonder and amazement for every aspect of life. Care, responsibility and commitment, if animated by joy and love, can only aspire to excellence, giving the person the opportunity to fully realise his or her dignity and humanity.

Evaluación de la calidad de la modalidad semipresencial en Educación Superior: una revisión sistemática de la literatura

En las últimas décadas, la Educación Superior se ha visto en un trayecto hacia la virtualización, dando como resultado el surgimiento de nuevas modalidades formativas basadas en el Internet, como lo son la educación en línea y semipresencial. Esto ha dado lugar a la necesidad de desarrollar modelos y experiencias de evaluación con el fin de valorar la calidad de dichas modalidades, lo que a su vez ha propiciado un incremento en la literatura científica en este ámbito. Considerando este panorama, el presente estudio se planteó como propósito construir el estado del arte en el campo de la evaluación de la calidad de la educación virtual en el nivel superior, particularmente en lo que respecta la modalidad semipresencial. Para ello se implementó la metodología de la revisión sistemática de la literatura en la producción científica publicada entre 2015 y 2021. Los resultados evidencian una inclinación hacia una concepción parcial de la evaluación, enfocada en la calidad de acciones formativas concretas y aspectos específicos de la educación virtual, como lo son las asignaturas y plataformas LMS, en sustitución de una perspectiva global de la misma, orientada además en la educación en línea y sin una distinción clara entre esta y la formación mixta. In recent decades, Higher Education has been on a journey towards virtualization, resulting in the emergence of new education modalities based on the Internet, such as online and blended education. This has given rise to the need to develop evaluation models and experiences in order to assess the quality of these modalities, which in turn has led to an increase in the scientific literature in this field. Considering this scenario, the present study aimed to build the state of the art in the field of quality evaluation of virtual education in the higher level, particularly with regard to the blended modality, for which the methodology of systematic review of the literature was implemented in the scientific production published between 2015 and 2021. The results show an inclination towards a partial conception of evaluation, focused on the quality of concrete training actions and specific aspects of virtual education, as are the subjects and LMS platforms, in substitution of a global perspective, also oriented towards online education and without a clear distinction between this and the blended modality.
