Our education system has never thought to experience teaching & learning through online classes. But because of Covid-19, for the last 2 years, millions of teachers and students are connected online. As a parent or educator, you must be concerned with the outcomes of online classes. As a result of which, educational institutes are having great difficulties to impart desired teaching and learning. In conclusion, we have failed miserably to deliver online teaching & learning. Teachers are teaching but she has no clue what is getting delivered. Students are learning but they have difficulty understanding the concepts. Similarly, there are multiple EdTech start-ups that are trying to deliver coding, maths, music, sports, design, robotics, psychometric assessment, leadership, and entrepreneurship online. But parents are still searching for the best online coding classes. Through this blog, we will help you to select the best online coding or any subject classes. Follow below 3 steps to get the desired result   Understand how course content got created?  Understand how the online course is getting delivered?   Understand who’ll teach the course? As a non-technical parent/student you may have limited knowledge to understand the technicalities but you should try to understand the overall delivery process Understand how course content got created? Recently Mr. H. C. Verma got felicitated with Padma Shri award for his significant contribution in clearing students physics concepts through real life examples. Mr. H. C. Verma has immensely contributed in popularising Physics education among Indian students and teachers by conducting lectures and experimental demonstrations. So it’s highly recommended to refer his books to clear physics concepts. For instance, your kid wants to learn to code. Firstly you need to understand what he/she should learn? And that can be decided with reference to her age and area of interest. In other words, don’t do things that others are doing. In SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle), we as a coder have to play lots of roles to develop the applications. Like Business Analysts, UI/UX designers, Front End & Back End developers, Mobile app developers, DevOps, and Tester. So software development is not all about hardcore programming. As an engineer, there are so many professionals who have spent their lives as business analysts or testers, or designers. Therefore it’s advisable to select the course as per the interest of every student. And your EdTech or training teacher can help you to do this. Firstly understand who is part of the content development team. Do they have academic and industry experience to develop the content? Developed content should be relevant to the real world. Avoid learning from trainers, learn from industry experts. In other words, a simple trainer can’t share an industry-based example and relevance of languages like HTML, C/C++, Python, Java, AI/ML, DevOps. Also, she’ll have difficulty sharing live industrial projects which are a must to apply theory in the real world. As we know, programming is all about maths, therefore, refers to content prepared by academic and industry experts. Understand how the online course is getting delivered? While selecting the best online classes for coding, always emphasize how the course will get delivered? For an instance, your trainer may be using any collaboration platforms like Google Meet, Microsoft Team, or Zoom platform to deliver the training. But does these platforms are designed to impart teaching & learning? No, they are the best platforms to collaborate and do virtual meetings with screen sharing. They are not designed to run virtual classes. To run the best online coding classes, we need to understand how the following activities are going to get managed digitally. Timetable  Reading & Video Content Objective and Subjective Assessments  Personalised reports to understand the progress of the students Parents log in to participate in the growth of the child If your EdTech or training teacher is delivering the above activities manually then it’s not the best online coding class. What gets measured gets managed. If you are not able to measure each of the teaching & learning outcomes then the desired outcome can’t be achieved. In other words, we recommend you get access to the best-in-class Learning Management System (LMS) to get the clarity of all the concepts. Understand who’ll teach the course? Now, this is the most important factor while taking decisions while choosing the best online coding class. As we know, all the hardware in our surroundings is getting integrated with software therefore we should do our best to make strong coding foundations. As a result, students will be able to apply their learning while solving real problems. If their concepts are not cleared then they’ll struggle on the field. To make the coding foundation stronger, it’s better to learn from industry experts. Because industry experts have got existential experience while solving real-life problems by using different tools and techniques. The software industry keeps changing its layers by introducing new languages, tools, architects, and applications. Therefore it’s advisable to learn coding from industry experts so they share live industry knowledge with the students. Students can’t have industry exposure from the simple trainer. Coding is like any other language which takes time to get the command. We must have taken 4-5 years to learn alphabets, then formed words, and finally made the sentences. Similarly, we need to follow the same process to get the command on the coding languages. Put all the focus to understand the concepts. Because coding or maths becomes easy if concepts are clear to us. Good reading & video content helps students to clear their concepts. In the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) which is a fusion of advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), genetic engineering, quantum computing, and many more, learning is a constant endeavor. And to be relevant to the 4IR industrial revolution our students need to build problem-solving skills to better the environment and human lives. And it’s better to introduce coding seed in the early days of a kid’s life to command the language. In conclusion, we strongly recommend all

Python was ranked second in the June 2021 RedMonk Language Rankings, just behind JavaScript. It’s a most popular language in programming community. In the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) which is a fusion of advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), genetic engineering, quantum computing, and many more, learning is constant endeavour. It’s advisable to our students to learn Python to be part of 4IR to make solid impact to solve real life problems. Python is easy to learn & use. It has got mature and supportive community. Hundreds of libraries and frameworks helps programmer to address end customer need. Its versatility, efficiency, reliability and speed can be used in many varieties of environments such as mobile applications, desktop applications, web development, hardware programming, and many more. Hottest trends of Computer Science like Big Data, Machine Learning and Cloud Computing research and development takes place in Python language. Who can learn Python? Well, anyone who likes to play with large data, analysis, prediction, automation etc. should get into Python programming as early as possible. Python is one of the easy languages to learn, so students above 7th/8th standard should really start learning Python. Even for professionals, especially those who are into Manual QA / Testing must start learning Python from Automation point of view. What is Python? Python is a dynamic, high level, free open source and interpreted programming language. It supports object-oriented programming as well as procedural oriented programming. It’s an amazing language! And you get so many rich libraries which makes it really easy way to solve the problems, analyse data, find patterns. Advantages of learning Python? Syntax : One of the simplest syntax – just like writing English sentences e.g. for i in range(10) : Good for handling Large Set of Data efficiently using in built data structures like dict, touple, list. You can build secure APIs using frameworks like Django or Flask, quickly. Interactive prompt where you can write code statements and test as you write. Data Science – you can start diving into Data science using python libraries available. Machine Learning – you can start understanding and building your own models using python quickly and easily. Backend – you can use Django, Flask to build robust, secure APIs quickly. How to start learning Python programming? Step 1: Always start with Basics! Understand and practice the syntax. Step 2: Understand and get comfortable with Interactive Shell. Helps you practice and try out code blocks before integrating into actual functions/classes. Step 3: If you don’t know, understand Object Oriented. Step 4: Always go for error/exception handling. Step 5 : If going for web, understand the Frameworks like Django or Flask Step 6 : If going for Data Science, then start exploring libraries available for Data Analysis, Charts/Graphs, etc. And always practice! Initially daily few hours would definitely help you reach to expert level faster. Python Web : How different it is from Python Basics? Whatever functionality or module you develop it needs to mostly end up on Cloud these days. And in order to access your module/functionality APIs are going to be needed. That’s where Python helps you provide this interface. And it makes your AI/ML models work seamlessly behind the interface of your Python Web! Basically it helps you build APIs or write Webhooks which are required to interconnect with other systems. So it is not so much different as such, it’s more of providing Interface to accept parameters, run queries, retrieve data/result, etc. What is Advanced Python? Actually as you go deeper into Python, you will need to understand how you can do : Socket IO Networking with Client-Server Applications Multithreading GUI programming Plotting Charts, Graphs, etc. Distributed Computing Serverless Computing – AWS Lambda is best example of this Scrapping Data Data Analysis, AI, ML Precise mathematics calculations e.q. When using Lat-long based applications you need to use 10 or 12 digits after decimal point for accurate calculations, python does help you effortlessly with rounding off results. Why Python is So Popular in Industry? If you see the features listed above, it makes it clear that Python does come in handy for wide range of applications – right from Stand-alone systems to Web bases Backend, Serverless Computing, Data analysis, AI/ML model building and many more. Python gives you the efficiency needed in critical applications, at the same time it also offers faster way to build backend APIs to interact with your frontend, get/retrieve large data, parse data effectively. Once you master python programming, it allows you to easily get into multiple avenues. Thus organisations may not need separate teams for building critical data centric modules and make them accessible over APIs. Hence it is one of the popular skill set expected by the Industry.

While interacting with various parents and students in last 18months, we get following important questions.• Is my child ready for coding / programming?• Will she/he able to cope up with new coding language?• How my child will practice and learn new coding concepts?• How my child will remember new learnings forever?• In case my child doesn’t want to pursue his/her career in technology in the future then how coding learning will be useful? Each of the above questions are important from parents and students perspective. And they should have genuine answer before investing their time, effort and money to learn coding/programming. Let me share my views on the above questions which’ll surely help you to take an appropriate decision. Is my child ready for coding / programming? Any kid who is above 6 years old can learn coding. Coding is like any other language where we first learn alphabets then we form words and finally we start writing and speaking the language. Software industry is ~60years old which has transformed whole world in last 2 decades. 10 years back we never thought to do following stuff online• Do almost all financial transactions through Mobile/Net banking• Buy movie/drama/event tickets• Buy mobile / dress / grocery almost everything related to household• Buy railway and airline tickets• To get the access of global teachers with digital contents Covid-19 has increased the importance of technology which has helped industries who were ready to work online. With reference to your child’s age and his/her interest select an appropriate coding program. LearnQoch offers 4 levels of coding courses in three different categories like Dreamer – Creator – Achiever as follows• Seed (Dreamer – Creator – Achiever) : Grade 1-4• Germination (Dreamer – Creator – Achiever) : Grade 5-8• Growth (Dreamer – Creator – Achiever) : Grade 9-12• Ready For World for Undergrad and working professionals Every child is unique hence LearnQoch test their current knowledge and interest. With reference to students’ current knowledge and interest we suggest specific course like Seed – Dreamer Or Seed – Creator Or Seed – Achiever for Grade 1–4 students. Will she/he able to cope up with new coding language? There are about 700 programming languages, including esoteric coding languages. Some sources that only list notable languages still count up to impressive 245 languages. Another list called HOPL, which claims to include every programming languages to ever exist, puts the total number of programming languages to 8945. Does student required to learn all the languages? No, they can learn couple of languages and do wonders in their professional life. For an example, grade 1-4 students should learn block coding and basics of HTML so they start liking the coding as a language. Likewise teach advance languages like C/C++, Java, Python along with DevOps to undergrads so they become relevant to real professional world. To cope up with new coding language, start with basics and increase the difficulties once students foundational concepts are strong. Otherwise they’ll create dislike for the subject. Student create interest for new subject if their concepts are clear. How my child will practice and learn new coding concepts? To thoroughly understand the concepts, it’s important to practice it. LearnQoch provides industry based curriculum for each topic. Also after every class, student is expected to complete the class assignment. Student gets the access of Learning Management System which becomes bridge between teacher and students to get the desire outcome. As we know, it’s not possible to monitor, measure and analyse any activity manually. Hence LearnQoch provides Learning Management System (LMS Software) to address following major concerns of every parents1. What my child has learned today?2. How much he/she has understood?3. If there is understanding gap, how it’s getting bridged? Every child has got unique learning curve hence teacher is required to have personalised teaching to ensure desire learning. Through LMS software this can be done scientifically. LearnQoch LMS software provides all required support to every student to practice and learn new coding language. How my child will remember new learnings forever? This is a perennial issue which requires scientific solution. As a student we learn so many stuff on daily basis from different subjects. But at the time of exam, almost all the students get tensed to remember it perfectly. Similarly while learning coding, student is expected to remember specific syntax, tag and logic. Periodic revision of learned concepts is the only solution to remember it for a long time. LearnQoch provide access of Learning Management System (LMS Software) through which every student will able to learn specific concept reading and video material to revise their learnings. Also they’ll able to review their past assessment performance which’ll help them to avoid repeating the past mistakes. In case my child doesn’t want to pursue his/her career in technology in the future then how coding learning will be useful? In the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) which is a fusion of advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), genetic engineering, quantum computing, and many more, learning is constant endeavour.Either our child wants to pursue their career in technology or not, they need to understand basic coding/programming concepts and its architect. So they’ll able to participate in specific customer problem solving conversations as a Marketing, Sales, Business Development, Finance, HR, Procurement and Legal professional. Every hardware in our surrounding is getting integrated with software hence it’s better to learn basics of software language. As a kid, giving them coding exposure will surely make their wings stronger to reach new heights. In conclusion, students are expected to follow below steps to get the best outcome from coding learning• Focus to learn coding fundamentals. No shortcuts.• Practice after every class• Review your assessment and don’t repeat the mistakes• Be part of live industrial project• Prepare list of problems you want to solve through technology Experience genuine coding learning with LearnQoch! Happy Coding!

Yes, you read correctly, 90% of coders do brilliantly well in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math’s) if their coding fundamentals are clear. In the last 2 years, parents’ & students’ coding awareness has got increased but still, they are looking for a genuine Ed-Tech company that can quantify the outcome of overall learning. Coding helps students to understand how technology works around them, fosters creativity, improves math skills, improves writing academic performance, and becomes confident problem solvers. Coding is like any other languages Hindi, Marathi, English, or Tamil & it takes time to command the language. All of us have taken a minimum of 4-5 years to read & write the local language. Like this to become a genuine coder, it takes time. In the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) which is a fusion of advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), genetic engineering, quantum computing, and many more, learning is a constant endeavor, and to be relevant to this industrial revolution our student’s concepts should be clear which only happen if we help our students to understands the basics of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics). All the hardware in our surroundings is getting integrated with the software. Automobile, Retail, Pharma, Education and many more industries are digitizing their product and processes which is a massive opportunity for our students to be part of the 4th industrial revolution. Incidentally, if the student is not comfortable with technology languages then it’ll be difficult for them to contribute while understanding the system. If they are not able to understand the system then problem identification and solutions can’t be done. Covid-19 has validated the immediate requirement of technology and students who are putting genuine effort to learn various languages will be professionally successful. I’ll recommend to all the parents & students to 1st focus on basics of coding and develop the logic to solve the problem. Ensure that as a parent & student, you are able to monitor, measure and analyse your daily progress. What gets measured gets managed. Read more DevOps
