“It is academicians’ responsibility to suggest to industry what problems they can solve for them rather than expect industry to invite them”: NRN at IIMB’s Future of Learning Conference 2020
06 January, 2020, Bengaluru: The third edition of the Annual Future of Learning Conference 2020 (FoL 2020) was hosted by IIM Bangalore from January 3 to 4, 2020, with this year’s theme being ‘Learning to Learn, Unlearn and Relearn: Flourishing in the Age of Disruptions and Innovation’.
The event brought together academic leaders, policymakers, industry experts and technologists for brainstorming sessions, showcasing innovation and sharing knowledge along three paradigms of the future of learning: to learn, unlearn and relearn.

Massive technology-led disruptions in the educational sector have compelled both individuals and institutions to respond, adaptively. These, in turn, have facilitated the emergence of new pedagogies using adaptive learning, personalized learning as well as a host of new pedagogical approaches.
The conference saw speakers from tech companies and premier education institutions like Infosys, Capgemini, TCS, NASSCOM, edX, Fidelity Investments, Mercer Mettl, IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, and more, addressing questions around learnability in the context of Industry 4.0.

“Education is learning to learn,” remarked N R Narayana Murthy, Chairman Emeritus and Co-founder of Infosys, at the FoL 2020 conference. “Learning broadens one’s horizon, improves judgements, instils critical learning, enhances curiosity, and helps them walk the path, reach the unattained goals, and solve the future problems of the society,” he said.
One of the complexities at the time of information overload is to identify ways to channelize information and take up the right approach to learn. “Experts in education should realize that youngsters must be equipped with fundamental learnings and be able to apply them to understand and solve problems around them.”
“The future of education is digital,” declared Anant Agarwal, Founder and CEO of edX and faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in a plenary session. Based on various research studies conducted by edX, he said that amongst the various challenges business leaders must overcome today, reskilling, retaining, and recruiting are vital ones. He added, “About 75% of the workforce would comprise millennials by the next decade. Tomorrow’s learning will be digital, which will be connected, on-demand and modular, mobile, flexible, and personalized.”

Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty, Chair, Board of Governors, IIM Bangalore, observed, in his keynote address at the event, “We tend to overestimate the effect of technology in the short run and underestimate it in the long run. Everything is going to be disrupted. We should be ready to embrace the change.”
