Revolutionizing Higher Education through Virtual Reality | D.M. Arvind Mallik | TEDxLavelleRoad


you
[Music]
I don’t care one of the finest
luminaries of personal computing once
said the best way to predict the future
is to invent it but to invent certain
things or discover certain things we
need some kind of a source of
inspiration to inspire us to go out of a
comfort zone but having said this how do
we get this inspiration in 2009 there
was a movie released by named three
idiots which changed the entire way of
learning system in India
it truly depicted the current situation
of Indian education system at the same
time it gave us a thought to think about
who we are then what we really want to
be but if you had to go the in
continuous future
our foremost memories goes back to the
chalk and talk methodology where we had
a personal kind of a connection with our
faculty members to test this simple
concept if you had to go back to around
25 years back and when you’re studying
in a primary school you’re going to
remember the particular faculty name
very clearly very concisely and if you
has the question why do you remember the
the primary school teacher why not the
graduate students or faculty you
remember only one thing it wasn’t the
personal experience what they had with
you but as we started growing up and we
are preparing for the fourth Industrial
Revolution how can we make sure students
are going to get engaged without getting
bored
especially Generation Y and Generation
said I’m going to talk about something
on a generation said how can we make
sure we as a faculty member get their
attention grab their attention grab
their interest and make sure they are
going to learn the the best of the best
in my concept I think the toughest job
of a human being is a teacher because
the teacher is the one who is going to
entire hold enter for the one hour
rather than having talking about for
five minutes with this thought pondering
thought of giving an effective change in
the entire education system I joined psi
t I’m in 2011 onwards and I was very
much fortunate enough to keep on doing
the the best of the best innovation
teaching methodology beat flipped
classroom for three years Design
Thinking for educating implementing
design thinking for educators writing
and reading on the book on a design
thing thing which is going to get
published neck
here and also just recently finished the
Instagram for consumer behavior
so the draw of conclusion is only one
thing how can you make sure you’re going
to be the best of the best teaching
methodology for the students but I was
always wondering it is the ideas should
be converted to an experience unless the
ideas of whatever the faculty members
Express will never get it to convert it
into an experience that that particular
methodology will never work while while
in the journey of soul-searching I was
deeply influenced by three movies one is
matrix
second is inception and last one is out
our movies a movie technology is a
technology and those are alleging people
were directed movie but it got me one
personal question the only one question
which revolves around the three movies
how on earth is possible to transport an
actor from this place to that place
Hagar terrain tundra along chandelier oh
no Baku chandelier / allure air today
allure eatery how on earth is possible
for an actor for a technology to
transport way altogether imagination
world this made me keep on thinking for
3 years 3 years 3 years until Facebook
brought oculus for offering 2 billion
dollars it was just a technology but it
came to my analysis that there is a
technology which can make sure you’ll be
transported to an art with an
imagination world by sitting anywhere
else and thus and thus an idea which
popped up in my mind an idea which has a
lot of experience which can give it to
the students specially for the higher
education in where it teaches a MBA plus
the technology the VR and the subject
what I teach consumer behavior for MBA
for third semester it give me an
advantage in terms of coming within the
best innovating teaching methodology
which we have implemented in our College
in 2005 onwards in 2005 we did some kind
of a pilot study in terms of having a
one student for you know doing in
research project for three months but
yes it continued to become a being of
the biggest research for what we have
done it in 2016 ladies and gentlemen we
are introducing what shield reality in
MBA
the most advanced innovating teaching
metrology in MBA today VR is reinventing
the student experience my hole
concentration lies towards the students
we have brought up in a way where the
chalk and talk be got an experience of
how our faculty teachers but we are
talking about generation buying
generation said how can you make sure we
are going to uplift their motivation
this kind of a comparative analysis was
the running in my mind where we need to
compare with the real-time within
technology as I said I was talking about
a consumer behavior which I take in a
third semester for MBA and this concept
comes only in once in one year so in
third semester last year which we have
done it and we thought about it why
can’t we complain the VR technology with
the the concept what we are trying to
give it to you the meanwhile we picked
up some kind of and a revolutionary kind
of a concept called
perception we touch based on the
perception of a consumer what makes
consumer to change their decision
what makes consumer to buy certain
things he’s a rational decision maker or
emotional decision maker
what makes consumer keeps on changing
keeps on change their experience because
we have got money now we got an option
but what we need to divert the attention
of a consumer it lies only in an
experience so we rolled out this concept
of the entire classroom or the entire 50
60 60 62 people the 25 people who came
forward because there are three kinds of
learners are there in the entire class
from one a student who loves to learn
things by just observing there are some
kind of fine students are there Dell are
just loves to listening and there are
some part of the people are there they
would like to experience the best of the
best pitching methodology by being in
the concept so we picked up around 25
people and asked him to visit a real
time retail stores for continuous one
week and ask them to decide why do you
want to decide certain things XY said
and we asked them to record their
emotions where expression with the
research both solutions and these are
some of the students which they have
done it really on best which is up in
Instagram
at the same time halftime the one week
of a discussions so we went on move on
to the concept of a real time in the
classroom where we thought about it okay
given an exposure of a real time how can
the changes we kept on an analysis of
the students and we had some kind of
error flan this about 90% of the entire
population of our class 62 people 90
percent of the entire people agree on
two things it will increase their
motivation level in terms of luring the
subject and also they believed that in
having a vr experience they can change
the decision and the result is like this
and overall when we try to interpret
everything you know one concise
direction because students are doesn’t
know what is happening in the real world
untain lets me give them an exposure of
something else which they don’t believe
in it until unless we walk the talk 90%
of the students agreed that you know
that increases their their concept of
learning at the same time it increases
their emotional quotient in terms of
understanding the subject very well but
in way 80% of the total student
population agreed that with having a
unique kind of an experience in a
virtual reality it will uplift their
emotions in terms of changing their own
decisions and this was the reason and
one of the finest student in what we had
it experienced in 2015 17 badge he
experienced the innovations and went
back to his company where he got in a
shortlisted especially for the royal
enfield the recent in last three months
he shared his experience with the royal
enfield you know people and they readily
agreed to sponsor this kind of an
innovation in royal enfield which is
going to come up in Hassan which can be
replicated in to Bangalore and again the
Hargitay sticks but what is this all
about for the B schools so we talked
about only on the curriculum but yes MBA
with the VR can do lot of difference in
the students learning part there are a
couple of well-known universities
well-known B schools are there in the
world they are using these technologies
especially B schools BB Stanford
University Yale a university or a Swiss
B schools so these are one they are
trying to initiate how can we club how
can we integrate the particular concept
of veer into the teaching for example
there’s on college by name in Canada Ted
Rogers stay in
fact they implemented this kind of a
concept in there with having a 360
degree of a Lumiere elations explain the
concept of their own study and their
branding their own College SP Jennifer
global chain in Dubai they are come with
a new course for virtual reality for the
business people which will run for nine
months and at the same time yeah let’s
call off manitech College of Management
they’re already using this 360 degree of
you know innovations where it’s all
about the how they’re going to brand
their college with the help of virtual
reality well there aren’t four different
types of there where we can enhance his
when his academics coming with it best
of the best content resource customized
for academics second thing is marketing
they can keep it as a marketing as in PR
tool where they can launch their college
with the help of this maybe they can
build up in a Lumiere relations they can
virtually show the college virtually
sure they’re an entire hostel the major
the biggest plus point of this it can
Han hands once phobia if somebody has a
phobia somebody has a stretch fees I
think the VR is the one which can change
their which we can uplift their
motivation which increases their
confidence level and at the same time
they have for training and development
specially in the soft skill nature in
the recruitment in the interview process
because the more you give to the
students the more confident they are
gonna be in the futures because here the
faculty acts just as a facilitator
rather than a teacher and the best part
is the biggest the challenge is the good
content until us we don’t come with a
good content for this specific entity
the virtual reality cannot get success
but once the content is ready the next
is we need to have a visionary
management board where they can think
beyond the future which can be
implemented around college at the same
time having said this having an idea
doesn’t make any sense on tainless the
faculty motivates themselves to make
sure he is going to be the best of the
best
it’s a faculty in session at the same
time when everything is done all we need
is a recognition of that particular
faculty who has achieved something
extraordinary
now when we said about his concept of
enhancing a customer cuz customer
behavior or consumer behavior previously
the past was meant to understanding the
needs of the customer the present what
we are talking about
customer expectation a consumer
expectations and the future is consumer
experience it is only the experience of
the consumer will drive the big cash
flow to the particular organization and
tomorrow is just now so let me hand and
this is my simple talk with a simple
example this this VR concept was not
born so soon it was there in the market
was then the centuries now when you go
back on eighteen century the concept was
there with the true painting but my
imagination goes back to way back when
we all watch the Indian mythological
movies just for a moment just for a
moment just close your eyes and just try
to think we have seen lot of
methodological movies Brahma Vishnu
Mahesh farad he’ll be sitting at the top
and at the same time they’ll be there in
the booming or Eleuthera Eleuthera did
God ever used invisible virtual reality
did they know it
did they ever implement it the story
goes back to the back where we there if
you really want to experience something
else experience innovation because
experience is you thank you very much
