Vidyaweb - Grow by Learning Together

Experience shows that the element valued most by distance learners and critical to the success of educational experiences is not technology, but interaction. Technology will remain as a tool, and the best part it can play is to facilitate creative interaction among:

• distance learners and the content
• the distance learners and the distance teachers
• amongst the distance learners themselves

Long term goals of Vidyaweb include imparting e-learning for the technical streams, primarily IT while striving for:

1. developing an environment where the e-learners are able to share their backgrounds and experiences openly
2. making the content delivery method intuitive with an easy learning curve
3. motivating the e-learners for playing active roles and independently taking responsibility for their learning
4. making the e-learners aware of the new patterns of communication, both asynchronous like forums and real-time like chat, to be used in the distance programme
5. Informing and sensitising the e-learner to varied cultural backgrounds of fellow participants
