bridge the gap between the teacher & the student.

• Existing Models / Knowledge Banks

• Visweswaraya Technological University Centre for Distant Education.

• Ekalavya Channel, TELP of AICTE


Integration of Traitional & Distance Learning


Shift in Curriculum

• Integrating Applied PBL Modules with Conceptual Course Material

available through IS

Application Oriented• Concept Based

Active Position

• Pocession of Computers & Access to INTERNET is not ultimate.

• Faculty should start their own INTERNET RESOURCES & INTERNET PRESENTATION.

Redefining IT

• IT COURSE / TOOL Just like• Numerical Methods•FEM•OR •Neural Network etc.

• Disintegrate / Reintegrate IT• So as to prevent Damage to Balanced Professional Competence.
