Post-COVID-19 era: An Enabler for the Implementation of Blended Learning in Compliance With the NEP 2020

Abstract

Government of India has cleared the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 by bringing out many reforms in the education sector with a focus on education design, delivery, and assessment. This work is an attempt toward perceiving the post-COVID-19 era as an enabler in the engineering education process for the implementation of blended learning. Causal analysis through the Ishikawa diagram is brainstormed for enlisting all the potential causal factors for the inability to restore normalcy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) is adopted for restoring normalcy through prioritized corrective actions. Thus, NEP 2020 is considered for leveraging blended learning.

“…4 FMEA has also been effectively used in education scenario for effective teaching of machine drawing 5 as well as for achieving improvements in blended learning during the COVID-19 pandemic social lockdown. 6 This makes the FMEA as a suitable tool for analysing the visual thinking and cognitive abilities, which are true to the development of mechanical engineering students.…”
