India: Higher Education Summit 07: Panel says leveraging technology in higher education the way forward
Ironically whilst, India is an IT giant, there is still a great reluctance towards online education in this country; there is tendency to look down upon distance education as the second best.... Speaking about 'Technology Enhanced Learning', Mr M S Ananth, Director IIT Madras, emphasized the need for Internet based alternatives to classroom learning and collaboration. He said, "Massive online education is an emerging market where our emphasis is on learning in comparison to classroom teaching." It is not a new concept in India, he further added, "The first student of such kind of education was Eklavya who got distance-learning by his guru Dronacharya. Inspired by this thought we have created broadcast video lecture by the name of Eklavya."
