Vidyaweb - Grow by Learning Together

In recent experimental and quasi-experimental studies contrasting blends of online and face-to- face instruction with conventional face-to-face classes, blended instruction has been more effective, providing a rationale for the effort required to design and implement blended approaches. Even when used by itself, online learning appears to offer a modest advantage over conventional classroom instruction.

In our opinion, it would be difficult to help non-IT savvy learners with any success with online learning due to the limited reach of the Internet and the prohibitive cost of making e-learning useful for the non-ICT courses. The students opting for ICT courses have better chance of understanding the online medium as well as having better access to the PC and the Internet.

Power cuts and inadequate Internet reach could be issues that need to be part of the equation right from the very beginning. Vidyaweb strives to address these issues by offering offline alternatives. Also, it is hoped that the situation in this regard will improve with time and with the PC prices and Internet penetration showing encouraging trends,
