Technology Enhanced Learning - A Very Useful Under Graduate Engineering Learning

This is a contribution from Rajagopal. Thank you for interesting insight.

If you believe primary education level is not uniform across, rapid commercialization of engineering education has contributed to drop in overall excellence in quality. I may be risking broad generalization.

IITs, IISc and some of the premier institutes have together to provide their complete content on Line. If you have good bandwidth connection, go ahead and download them. Else you can pay and buy the content.

I may be understating the importance of the content. It is a Significant boon to engineering college students who do not have access to quality education.

Technology in Education:
Govt. & IITs have got together to create this massive education reform.. to bring the IIT quality education to all students across the country.

A Global Phenomenon:
This transformation in leveraging IT/Web/Multimedia for is not only in India, but also in MIT & lots of US universities.

Student’s life is now different:
Definitely a game changer .. Suddenly college students(irrespective of which college they are registered with) now can learn from the best teachers. With just Rs8,000/- you can get an entire video collection for 4 year IIT B.Tech course in DVDs. http://nptel.iitm.ac.in/availability1.php

Knowledge worker’s life is now different:

Refresh your subjects free via Online video’s:
