Why can't we become kids again and enjoy our vacation for one month as we use to have it in school? Will it not break the monotony? And if yes, will you not be a fresh rejuvenated “avatar” of yourself, thriving with energy and ready to take up challenges? Everyone of us needs to pose this question to self. I am sure most of the people will not have an answer to this question, few of them will answer with an inept smile that this is not possible. Those who can take it up positively will talk to themselves, searching for the kid who still leaves inside you. Does you kids, wife and parents only need a break? And your breaks are always initi-

ated with their demands, not with your own need. You have became a money making machine, who work for earning, leave for earning and will end up the life while earning. It is also a proven fact that taking break from work for a longer period or getting detached from the daily routine helps one staying more fit, more healthy – physically as well as mentally. Learning is a never ending process, why do we forget our basics? We played, we traveled, we learned, we leaved the life king size, but, every thing changed

An increasing number of institutions are turning to multimedia to aid in learning. But a planned approach is essential for effectively leveraging thess technologies

hile earlier, teaching and learning used to be restricted to whatever was in the book, or whatever the teacher said, today, that is no longer the case. Teaching has moved far beyond traditional methods. A whole host of technologies is now available to completely transform the learning experience. Students can now actually expperience various things that they could only imagine before. As a result, engagement levels are at an all-time high. Students are now more in volved in lectures, which no longer involve a teacher droning on and on at the front of the class, but are
actually targeted at drawing in the students’ attention and offering the most valuble information in an interesting way. BENEFITS Here are the benefits offered by investing in such a system: HIGHER ENGAGEMENT: Multimedia education systems have the potential to be more realistic than textbook learning, and offer students indepth insights into scenarios they could only have imagined before. They offer a glimpse at the practical aspects of learning, instead of merely theoretical or rote learning. They enable active learning, and ensure higher engagement levels in the
classroom. HANDS-ON LEARNING: People with varying skill levels may not take the same amount of time to understand a particular concept. In traditional classroom scenarios, students who take more time to understand what is being taught usually suffer the most, as there isn’t enough time to address all their problems. However, multimedia learning opens up a lot more channels for taking in the same information: visual, auditory and touch-based, enabling easier
understanding and better recall. Also, students can avail the content for a particular lecture and learn at their own pace. They can opt for repeat lectures, since the content is already available. The fact that the lecture content is pre-detemined means that the teacher now has more time to pay attention to the problems of individual students. EXCELLENT RESOURCES: Multimedia learning makes a range of content available
