Dear All,
open air classroom has both advantages and disadvantages:
1. It is close to the nature. So enhancing once connection to nature and learning is effective. It enhances once well-being and mental ability in optimum weather.
2. Natural environment enhances motivation to learn.
3. It was practiced in ancient Gurukul system, where debates and discussions are part of the learning.
4.Not easy to teach large gatherings, not audible, logistic issues.
5. weather changes suddenly to sunny or raining. It affects once concentration and motivation. extreme temperatures affect one's mood and cognitive abilities significantly.
6. Not good for teaching mathematics, where you need to right sometime and solve problems, increasing infrastructural issues.
However, modified natural like environment can be tried out.

Dear Prof. Bholanath Ji & Fellow Academicians,--
Thanks for raising the topic for the discussion.
Though Open Air (space) Learning requires more space and may face other challenges, but definitely it is more effective, especially under the trees (in the Garden). On the basis of my personal experience, when I used to become bore while studying in room for longer time, I used to follow my father advice to go to garden and study there. Really, it was felt better and relaxed and resulted in better understanding the topic, better solving of numerical due to better concentration and obviously resulted in effective learning. Just recall, our ancient Gurukulam was always in forest and were performing open air learning. All our saints learned mysterious nature and scientific facts through open air learning and attained perfect gyan under one of other kind of trees. Even Abrahmlinkon, first president of USA, also used to study in open air. I don't whether it can be fulfilled or not, but I have a very strong wish to establish such an University that may perform only open air learning.
Therefore, we must encourage the Open Air Learning Systems and such Universities.Thanks & Regards

Most of the students are loitering outside the class rooms , . with so much noise ( with right to express themselves). It may not only disturb teaching but motivate students to join them. This is possible only in a few selected places to be identified.Moreover I saw a news from UGC that techers beyond 61 urs. will not be considered as guide for Ph.D. students. It is surprising and ridiculours , what do you think. Thanks.
