So how best do we manage this transition to the 21st Century?
Health and Aged Care in India (HACI)
We are living longer and we want to be mentally and physically fit till the last. This becomes particularly relevant as the global age balance starts tipping towards its senior citizens.

Deeper Dives in Blended & Online Learning
Rapid technology developments, the MOOC phenomenon and anywhere everywhere learning have led to the recent rise and rise of Online and Blended learning. Higher Education (HE) institutions, Vocation Education & Training (VET) Providers, Corporate & Lifelong learning environments, Schools, Departments of Education and other Learning & Teaching institutions are keen to offer Online & Blended learning while enhancing student experience and engagement. However they are looking for advice on better understanding the new ecosystem, on models & components of Online and Blended Learning, on whether they should go for MOODLE or some other Virtual Learning Environment/Learning Management System, how to make content dynamic and interactive and many more such questions. The teaching faculty, the VET trainers, the Learning & Development leaders are all being required to adapt their teaching styles to engage with learners in the paradigm. The learners, depending on their demographics, are either more, equal or less digital savvy then their trainer.
