Online distance education is becoming more popular in India. Many working adults are now taking online courses to learn new things while still working. This change is happening because of new technology and the need for flexible learning options.
Universities Offer More Online Programs
Big schools like IGNOU and Bangalore University now have many online courses. IGNOU has 34 online programs and has made 121 free courses for the government's SWAYAM website. Bangalore University started online classes two years ago after COVID-19. They now have 11 online courses and want to add more. These courses are good for working people because classes are in the evening.
Challenges and Traditional Learning Still Exist
Some students like online learning because it is flexible. But others find it hard to sit through long video classes. Some schools, like Madras University, still only offer old-style distance learning. Experts say both online and traditional learning should continue. This will help people who don't have good internet access. The government wants more tech in education, but not everyone has the same access to computers and internet.
