Web-based Education is becoming very popular in India at every level of education, which can be attained through online websites or Educational Web Portals. Educational Web Portals provide a variety of eBooks, articles, journals, research papers, online courses, and other educational resources. In this paper, we will discuss the utilities of Educational Web Portals in higher education and evaluate a different type of web portals that provide different options of learning in the Higher education field. This study is based on the experiences students and scholars who are the part of a Facebook page community from all over India and they are engaged in Web-Based Learning and help each other through online communication. The experience for English speaking scholars is different from non-English speaking scholars. The scholar coming from a non-English speaking background does not get the same quality of online resources as English Speaking Scholar has. This is a challenging problem and the researcher dwelled deeper for the solution. The researcher will discuss possible solutions to overcome this problem. She will suggest creating a glocal web portal which can be a bridge between the content creator and a learner in their local language. Such Glocal Educational web portals will help the non-English speaking scholars and will enhance researches at the local level.

Technology is everywhere and we depend on technology. In this digital era, the role of teacher and student has changed dramatically. Learners utilize new technologies to gain knowledge more comfortably, effectively and seamlessly. Technology is used to provide opportunities for students to apply knowledge in the real world context and engage in active participation, exploration and research. Smart learning is a new approach of learning used by teachers and students both in the classroom and outside of the classroom, in daily life. It is a new vision, where internet, laptops, smart phones, multimedia etc utilize in the process of education. Smart learning technology provides a learning platform to every learner universally. In Smart learning technology, learning is more connect to the real world; the learner is more active than teacher. M-learning, digital pedagogy, social media, MOOC, OER, Edutainment, Blended learning and flipped classroom are some of the examples of smart learning technology. This paper explains the smart learning approach, technology being used in it and its pros and cons.

India has a long and rich system of education from ancient gurukul system to contemporary technology driven system of education. The paradigm shift in educational scenario from teacher centred to learner centred has offered teachers to be a facilitator and co-explorer; one who encourage learners to inquire, challenge, and construct their own knowledge, concepts, ideas, views, and conclusions. Even the National Curriculum Framework (2005), the document about school education in India, emphasizes on active learning, which means knowledge should be an outcome of child’s own activity; learner should construct and create knowledge by himself. It further adds that pedagogy should also be learner centred, based on children psychological development and interest, their background and culture; it should be more and more related with their daily life. Constructivism is the need of the hour; it is an epistemology, a theory of learning which explains the nature of knowledge along with the process of learning. In a constructivist setting, learning is active, reflective, collaborative, evolving, constructed and based on enquiry and problem solving approach. Constructivism is a theory of learning, not a theory of teaching thus it presents a challenge to teachers and teacher educators of a formidable task to translate a learning theory into a theory of teaching this in turn raises questions about what teachers need to know and be able to do. This paper at length would elaborate on the concept, types and benefits of constructivism and the way it can be used in teacher education programme, translating theory to practice.

real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers.Above said line by Sydney J. Harris appropriately depict that inventions of computers have brought a major technological change in our life. The teacher is responsible for introducing concepts to in class and scheduling topics for review and practice, which will work on at instructional terminals Daily reports, inform the teacher of each student's performance and progress.Accepted teaching and learning practices have undergone changes of revolutionary proportions in recent years. These changes are evident in situations as diverse as early childhood teaching, university physics teaching and workplace training. They have been underpinned by shifts in psychological and pedagogical theory, the most recent of which fit broadly under the heading of constructivism. Computer is a fast and accurate data manipulating device that accepts and stores data and produces a meaningful result under the stored set of instructions provided in the programme. It is a device which is derived from human intelligence. It is not an extremely fast information processing machine which, neither processes intelligence of its own nor has any thinking, arguing or decision taking power of its own. The development of information and technology enables the application of computers in the language learning process, which is known as Computer Assisted Learning (CAL). But there is still a question whether computers really assist second language learning. Many teachers who have never touched a computer tend to respond with an emphatic no; whereas, the overwhelming number of teachers who give computers a try find that they are indeed useful in second language learning. The responds indeed depend on the teachers' willingness to develop their teaching methods by utilizing the technology.Undoubtedly, computers make excellent teaching tools, especially in teaching languages in any aspect, such as vocabulary, grammar, composition, pronunciation, or other linguistic and pragmatic-communicative skills.The aim of this paper is to inform both educators and learners how computers are helping them and analyze the advantages of the utilization of computer in teaching and learning. When the advantages of using computer in teaching and learning understood well by teachers, learners and all stakeholders, it will be very useful to help learners improve their teaching and learning. Furthermore, there is a belief that through the use of it are going to improve various skills.The paper focuses on the advantages of using for learners and teachers. Furthermore, there is a belief that through the use of it are going to improve some skills, such as pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, listening comprehension, and others on their own.COMPUTER AS AN EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONAL AIDEducators use a computer technology to create a rich environment where can show their capacity. It provides for opportunities for in active participation, exploration and research. In this context, one of the ways by which computer technology can be made useful in the classroom is i.e. Computer Assisted Instruction.Lawrence Sturlow & Daniel Davis (1965) developed a complex model of teaching in which computer can present the instruction in place of teacher. This model is known as Computer Assisted Instruction. CAI refers to the use of computer and software programmes to assist the delivery of information and students (Wright & Forcier). Thus refers to the application of computer software with the intention to fulfil the student's needs. CAI, an educational programme, is designed to serve as a teaching tool. It enables to work at their own pace. It has been found to be very effective in the teaching of basic skills.COMPUTER ASSISTED INSTRUCTION (CAI)CAI deals with flexible, rapidly changing and detailed information. …

In the present era of technology, vast changes are required in Indian teacher education system with a more advanced digital pedagogy to shape better teachers in India. Now simple pedagogy is shifting towards Digital Pedagogy, which is a novel way of teaching and learning with ICT. Digital Pedagogy moves the focus from only ICT tools and skills, to a mode of working in the digital world. Digital Pedagogy means the use of electronic fundamentals like multimedia, productivity applications, cloud computing, etc. to enhance or to change the experience of education and transforms teaching and learning to provide rich, diverse and flexible learning opportunities for digital generation. Present paper discusses that developments in ICT provide very different learning opportunities, and a need to design a new integrated pedagogy in teacher education. Now the aim of teacher education should be to provide appropriate knowledge and develop skills and among student-teachers for using and integrating the correct technology in a suitable manner. Every teacher must ensure technological integration, pedagogy and subject area content effectively in their classroom teaching.
