Pranab Mukherjee, the newly sworn President of India is all set to launch the new e-learning platform ‘A-VIEW’ which is expected to revolutionalize the concept of e-learning. A-VIEW stands for ‘Amrita Virtual Interactive E-Learning World’ and it will be introduced by the President on India in New Delhi on November 11. 

 

The launch occasion will witness Indian President addressing a huge crowd of students and Faculty members who will be using the Aakash tablet powered by A-VIEW software. The launch is expected to be attended by 14,000 teachers spanning 240 remote centres as part of the workshop on Aakash tablet by IIT Bombay.

 

Kamal Bijlani, Director, Amrita E-Learning Research Lab, A-VIEW 3.0 stated that the new platform is designed especially for bridging the gap existing between needy students and experienced qualified teachers in the higher education sector in India.

A-VIEW has the reputation of being a collaborative project that was developed under IIT Bombay and ‘Talk to a Teacher’ team by Amrita University. The project was also extensively supported by National Mission on Education through ICT and Ministry of Human Resource Development. 

What is A-VIEW?

E-Learning Research Lab of Amrita University founded by Mata Amritanandamayi has also created a mobile version of A-VIEW for the latest version of the Aakash tablet. The new programme has been designed specifically for working with Aakash tablet for providing and promoting quality education within the Nation. 

It was only as recently as June 2012 when A-VIEW was used for training 10,000 teachers online by IIT Bombay spanning across varied locations. It was known to be one of the biggest online programme ever happened in India. Aakash tablet is considered to be one of the cheapest tablets to be made available for users in India. It was developed as part of a Government initiative for helping students and teachers in gaining the never ending possibilities and leaps in internet and e-learning. Aakash tablet has already received many accolades from Industry analysts and the education sector in India.
