From Traditional to Tech-Enabled Learning Environments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The panel, titled \u201cFrom Traditional to Tech-Enabled: Building AI-Ready Classrooms,\u201d<\/strong> went beyond celebratory rhetoric and critically examined whether institutions are genuinely redesigning learning environments or merely digitising conventional practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Jhansi Rani foregrounded the urgent need to shift from tool-centric adoption of technology to pedagogy-driven integration, where AI meaningfully augments inquiry, critical thinking and research capabilities of learners, especially FPM and PhD scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drawing on ISBR\u2019s experience, highlighted three non-negotiables for AI-ready classrooms in higher education:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ethical governance frameworks and rational application of AI are essential to prevent misuse, bias amplification, and erosion of academic values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Faculty up-skilling must be viewed as a continuous scholarly obligation, ensuring educators remain competent in AI-enabled pedagogy and research methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Research-centric curricula should embed data literacy and AI fluency across disciplines, strengthening interdisciplinary learning and research outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She also cautioned that uncritical dependence on AI risks amplifying bias, deskilling academic work, and diluting intellectual originality unless guided by robust academic integrity policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The discussion underscored that AI-enabled education is not an end in itself, but a means to nurture reflective practitioners, responsible managers, and contextually sensitive researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ISBR at EDex Awards 2025 reaffirmed its commitment to shaping this discourse by aligning classroom practice, research output, and institutional strategy with the evolving demands of a technology-mediated, knowledge-driven economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n About ISBR Business School: <\/strong>ISBR Business School, located in Bangalore, India, is a premier institution dedicated to providing world-class education in business and management.
