Open-source platform to be adopted for online learning under ‘Let us go Digital’
Educational institutions under the Higher Education Department in Kerala are set to usher in digitised pedagogy during a 100-day mission. The ‘Let us go Digital’ campaign will be marked by a mass adoption of an open-source platform for online learning and is being launched as part of the government’s efforts to digitalise teaching/learning techniques and ensure accessibility for all students to online classes. Higher Education Minister R. Bindu, who held discussions with the Vice Chancellors of universities in the State and college Principals on Wednesday, said a learning management system would be introduced by the Kerala State Higher Education Council with the technical support of the Kerala University of Digital Sciences, Innovation and Technology (Digital University). While the learning management system can be customised by each institution to suit their needs, the open-source learning platform Moodle will be utilised all over. A centralised cloud storage will be set up with the assistance of the Digital University.More Related News
