Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

Technology has impacted almost every aspect of life today, and education is no exception. Or is it? In some ways, education seems much the same as it has been for many years. A 14th-century illustration by Laurentius de Voltolina depicts a university lecture in medieval Italy. The scene is easily recognizable because of its parallels to the modern-day. The teacher lectures from a podium at the front of the room while the students sit in rows and listen. Some of the

students have books open in front of them and appear to be following along. A few look bored. Some are talking to their neighbours. One appears to be sleeping. Classrooms today do not look much different, though you might find modern students looking at their laptops, tablets, or smartphones instead of books (though probably open to Facebook). A cynic would say that technology has done nothing to change education.

However, in many ways, technology has profoundly changed education. For one, technology has greatly expanded access to education. In medieval times, books were rare and only an elite few had access to educational opportunities. Individuals had to travel to centers of learning to get an education. Today, massive amounts of information (books, audio, images, videos) are available at one’s fingertips through the Internet, and opportunities for formal learning are available online worldwide through the Khan Academy, MOOCs, podcasts, traditional online degree programs, and more. Access to learning opportunities today is unprecedented in scope thanks to technology.

Opportunities for communication and collaboration have also been expanded by technology. Traditionally, classrooms have been relatively isolated, and collaboration has been limited to other students in the same classroom or building. Today, technology enables forms of communication and collaboration undreamt of in the past. Students in a classroom in the rural U.S., for example, can learn about the Arctic by following the expedition of a team of scientists in the region, read scientists’ blog posting, view photos, e-mail questions to the scientists, and even talk live with the scientists via a videoconference. Students can share what they are learning with students in other classrooms in other states who are tracking the same expedition. Students can collaborate on group projects using technology-based tools such as wikis and Google docs. The walls of the classrooms are no longer a barrier as technology enables new ways of learning, communicating, and working collaboratively.

156

Why does the author state that the walls of the classroom are no longer a barrier?

  1. ((a))

    Students now take more responsibility for their own learning.

  2. ((b))

    Schools and universities across the country are beginning to redesign learning spaces to enable a new model of education.

  3. ((c))

कवि के सम्बन्ध में यह कथन अक्षरश: सत्य प्रतीत होता है कि कवि प्रकृति का पुरोहित होता है। जिस प्रकार पुरोहित अपने यजमान के समस्त कुलाचारों एवं रीति-परम्पराओं से अभिज्ञ होता है, उसी प्रकार कवि को प्रकृति के समस्त रहस्यों एवं क्रिया प्रक्रियाओं का मर्मज्ञ होना चाहिए। इसके बिना कवि को 'कवि' की संज्ञा से विभूषित करना भी उचित प्रतीत नहीं होता। कवि ही अपनी सूक्ष्म निरीक्षण शक्ति द्वारा प्रकृति के प्रांगण में ऐसे तथ्यों एवं पदार्थों को देख लेता है, जहाँ सामान्य व्यक्तियों की दृष्टि नहीं जाती, और यदि जाती भी है तो तत्व तक नही पहुंचती। तह तक पहुँचे बिना कोई ऐसी बात नहीं निकलती, जो साधारण होने पर भी असाधाराण हो, लौकिक होने पर भी, अलौकिक आनन्दोत्पादक हो, सबकी देखी होने पर भी, नवीन चमत्कार दिखाने वाली हो, प्रकृति के गुप्त एवं मुक्त रहस्यों को सर्वसाधारण के दृष्टिपथ में लाना कवि का काम हैं। अज्ञेय की मीमांसा करते रहना, आकाश-कुसुमों की सृष्टि करना या आकाश के तारे तोड़ना कवि का काम नहीं है। यह दार्शनिक का काम है, कवि का काम इससे भी गहन है। व्याकरण एवं पिंगल के नियमानुसार वर्णों की नपी-तुली पद्य रचना का नाम भी कवित्व नहीं है, जैसा कि प्रायः समझा जाता है। सूक्ष्म दृष्टि से प्रकृति पर्यवेक्षण की असाधारण शक्ति के साथ-साथ कवि के पास जीवनानुभवों का अक्षय कोष होना चाहिए तथा उसे विविध कलाओं एवं शास्त्रों का भी ज्ञाता होना चाहिए।
