The International Forum for educators and researchers (IFER) is an independent, non-profit organization that aims at promoting research and development in the field of education and academia. It is a platform for students, professors, universities and researchers to present their ideas, explore their interests and create a fruitful research environment.
What better moment to introspect on the teaching-learning process than now? The pandemic has transformed education. It has revamped how education is imparted and consumed. Technology from hereon will play a vital role in the life of students and educators alike. The conventional method of book-based learning is now equipped with animated videos, online content and AR/VR experiences. Education is much more customized in terms of medium, content and time. It is also accessible, cheaper and interdisciplinary. We as the education community should equip learners and educators with correct resources for the rapidly changing world. The best thing to do is to be innovative and have the willingness to adapt to modern developments. That’s what IFER intends to accomplish.
Today’s technically competing world confirms the fact that R&D is ubiquitous. A sneak-peak into the R&D sector today highlights international collaborations, generous fundings and industry-researcher tie-ups. Governments and enterprises are now investing in global innovation and borderless reforms. Researcher upskilling, career diversification across scientific sectors and disciplines is inevitable in this new era. Research data is mobile, open and there is tremendous knowledge circulation. The conversion of the outcomes of excellent research into disruptive innovation is what we researchers should aim for. IFER supports this idea by giving a stage to all researchers to share, use and find quality publications, best practices and correct data.
