• NPTEL: A project founded by IIT Madras with equal partnerships from
• ther IITs and Indian Institute of Science and funded by the Ministry of

Human Resource Development, Government of India

• NMEICT: National Mission on Education through Information and

Communication Technology: A Mission Programme initiated by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India

• SWAYAM : A National MOOCs Initiative to be launched by the Ministry
• f Human Resource Development, Government of India

NPTEL and NMEICT employ several components of ADOBE Master Collection Suite and Acrobat Pro extensively for content creation NPTEL employs Adobe Premiere for video content editing and rendering; distributed using commercial‐ free plugins

Challenges for Academics Arts and Science Education:

✴ Gross enrollment Ratio is between 20 and 23 percent ✴ A fraction of GER is only in Technical Education ✴ Significant numbers under 600 Universities or more ✴ UGC Report: over 14.6 million students enrolled in about 32,000 colleges (2013!!) ✴ 0.2 million teachers with a Ph. D. and teaching exp. ✴ UGC projects substantial increase in enrollment and new University creation

Distance Education (Non‐Technical)

✴About 8.7 million students in more than 30 distance

education Universities /Units in India in the year 2011.

✴ About 3 million students in the Indira Gandhi

National Open University, the largest Open University in the world.

Continuous Education (Non‐Technical)

In a country of 1.2 billion, the three sectors (Technical, arts and science and distance education) account for about 30 million at a given

• time. Those who can learn given an opportunity

to learn will have to be at least five times this. Remote Learning and Innovation‐‐ NPTEL

My first paper in 1985 was typed in one of these, at McGill University, Montreal, Canada using word Star and Chiwriter

NOW!

✴Continued access, easy and just‐in‐time ✴Set up social, peer‐to‐peer and faculty assisted networks and study groups ✴Encourage interactions and dialogues among learners ✴Collect continuous, course‐specific feedback ✴Devise strategies for incorporating user feedback in the development process

Strategies for and challenges in effective e‐learning Remote Learning and Innovation‐‐ NPTEL

Strategies for and challenges in effective e‐learning

✴Bring in partners from industry and research organizations ✴Continuously upgrade the programme contents and move downward towards school education ✴Setup online and offline exams and certification as value add‐

• n, to enhance employability in core industries

Technology Enhanced Learning

✴ Promote critical thinking ✴ Visualization and visualizability of concepts ✴ Demonstration and hands‐on experience ✴ Building competitiveness, and think out‐of‐the‐box at an early age.

✴ Integration of teaching and learning in synchronization with the environment of the child/student/adult/all‐time learners ✴ Mass education and lack of physical infrastructure and teachers
