IIT faculty creates online courses


Mumbai: Faculty members from the IITs and the IISc have worked overtime to put together courses that could be accessed online by students. On Wednesday, the SNDT Women’s University became a “user institute’’. It will access the course content in science and engineering created by the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning, a joint venture by the seven Indian Institutes of Technology and Bangalore’s Indian Institute of Science funded by the ministry of Human Resources Development.
This means that 128 web courses and 110 video courses will be made available via the university’s yet-to-be launched digital library through the HP Labs Edu Centre. TNN
