The University Computer Centre is willing to adopt the “Spoken Tutorial = A Collaborative and Scalable Education Technology". Spoken Tutorial is an audio-video tutorial that explains an activity performed on the computer. Screen-cast software makes a movie of the entire activity, both the screen and the spoken part. The running commentary can be in English or in any other language. The Spoken Tutorial is a recording of an actual session. The Spoken Tutorial project is the initiative of the “Talk to a Teacher” project of the National Mission on Education through Information Communication through Technology, launched by MHRD, Government of India.
University Computer Centre is planning to collaborate with IIT-Bombay for conducting online learning programs such as "A-View" classes. A-View is part of Talk to a Teacher program coordinated by IIT Bombay and this programme is funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) under the Indian Government’s National Mission for Education using Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT). A-VIEW is now deployed at several IITs, NITs and other leading educational institutions across the nation.
Further Projections:
The University Computer Centre Lab has to divided two (2) wings, one wing for regular browsing usage for all the students of Kakatiya University. Second wing has to use for conducting and practicing online examination.And also to be used online tutorial and e-learning.
