DU Launches New E-Learning Online Portal

New Delhi: To enable Information and Communications Technology (ICT) based educationin the varsity, Delhi University (DU) has introduced e-classes for its students, which have been uploaded on its online portal.

A one-day workshop on the launch of the e-classes was held recently in which almost 40 teachers from various colleges under the university participated. During the course of the workshop, the teachers present were familiarized about the process of registering on the online portal. 

These teachers would be called DU e-learning portal coordinators and will work as a link between DU's Institute of Life Long Learning (ILLL) and DU colleges. 

DU Vice Chancellor Deepak Pental inaugurated the workshop and spoke at length about the importance of ICT in higher education. "ICT is extremely important in higher education and can help in answering many problems that affect the quality of education that is being imparted in the university," he said.

He further added that the e-classes being started by the varsity would help in empowering teachers to handle the teacher-student interactions in an efficient manner.

Calling the initiative to introduce e-classes the most significant feature of the DUonline portal, ILLL Director A.K. Bakshi said that the interactivity aspect of the e-classes is a new feature that will benefit both students as well as teachers. 

He explained that as teachers have only 50-55 minutes to teach per class, several doubts ands questions which students might have remain unanswered. The online e-classes will now enable students to ask and clear their doubts and also to hold healthy online discussions which can continue for as long as the students want.

The e-learning portal started by DU has several interactive media features available free of charge in four sections, viz-a-viz, e-lessons, e-labs, e-quizzes and e-lectures. The newly introduced e-classes would only be available to DU students who have joined the portal by contacting their e-learning portal coordinator. 

The facility to join the portals would also be made available to teachers and students from the postgraduate department.
