Aadhar would be mandatory for online courses

Aadhar number is a unique number provided to every individual citizen of India

assigning them with an exclusive identification document containing their

demographic and biometric information. The requirement of Aadhar card is

increasing in each and every field these days and will be covering the entire system

in coming time.

Provisions of Aadhar number for online courses

In middle of all these requirements, online education which is governed by the UGC

Aadhar would be mandatoryfor online courses -ePravesh.com

(University Grants Commission) Rules amended its provisions by including a new

rule saying that Aadhar number will be compulsory for any online course to be

learnt by any person.

Eligibility criteria for an Institution to be recognized

According to the eligibility criteria for an institution to be recognized for online

programs, the Higher Education Institution (HEI) should have been in existence as a

university for at least 5 years. The institute should be accredited with a minimum

score of 3.25 on a point scale of 4 from the National Assessment and Accreditation

Council (NAAC).

There is a list of documents and requirements needed for the institute to be

satisfied for getting it registered for online courses. There are various other

procedures implemented by the authorities to find out whether the institute is

eligible for organizing online classes or not. The courses which would be offered

online will be among those courses only which are offered offline as well. No new

course should be available only online.

Eligibility checks by expert team 

An expert team is appointed for checking out all the eligibility criteria of the

institute and to give them permission for allowing them to offer online courses.

Proper teaching staff should be appointed by the institutes so that they can look

after the students studying via online courses in a better way. If the strength of the

students for a particular lecture goes above 500 then one teaching assistant should

be mandatorily appointed apart from the full time director, registrar, assistant

registrar and academic staff.

Key role of infrastructure and technical amenities

Infrastructure plays an important role in this type of courses as the only link

between the institute and the students would be the computers or the systems

which are used for this purpose. This makes it important for the institutes to have

an advanced range of system modules and amenities. Various e-learning modules

and live webinars need a lot of technical amenities like better bandwidth, better

connectivity and a IT expert present there for any defects if occurred.

Benefits of making Aadhar mandatory

Linking of Aadhar number with every online course will increase the chances of

getting better statistics of what is the response of the course and what are the

measures which we can take to increase them. The availability of statistics helps

government to know the changing interests of the students and also the

preferences of various age groups of people who are interested in the range of

different courses.

Aadhar was introduced with the main aim of creating a unique identity of every

individual so that by that number we can search all the things about that person.

Mandatory linking of Aadhar number is required in bank accounts, mobile numbers,

gas services and for passport application. If the linking of Aadhar number becomes

mandatory to online courses as well than the data pertaining to the courses will

also be shared with the Aadhar authorities.

The linking of Aadhar number with multiple applications is in a way better for the

nation as the government will be able to have closer insights on the person’s

interest and the changing nature of the population.

There are certain limitations as well of the same, like if the data falls in wrong hands

than it would be a huge loss to people as their confidential information would be at

a risk. Preventive measures if taken than these types of risks can be overcome.

Indian Universities are facing uphill task to increaseemployability of the passing out students, keepingsyllabus in sycn with the industry. According tolatest reports, less than 25% of the graduates areemployable in the industry. Rest of the graduatesneed additional investment in the training.

My hope of the future lies in the youths of character, intelligent,

renouncing all for the service of others, and obedient – good to

themselves and the country at large….Swami Vivekananda.

 

This quote from Swami Vivekananda highlights importance of building youth for

the nation. Indian Universities need to play key role for it.

Indian Universities can take help of technology to radically change existing

education system.

How Indian Universities canEmbrace Digital EducationTechnology - ePravesh.com

Following are some of the things University can watch-out for

1.Keep Syllabus Dynamic

Technology is changing the dynamics of the world, every 6 months there has been

advancements in each segment of the business. If you take example of

management education, marketing techniques taught 1-2 years back are not

become obsolete. Every day new techniques of social media marketing are coming

up.

Syllabus should be kept open ended and dynamic and it should be as per inputs

from Industry experts. Technology can be used for Knowledge Management where

students can view videos/ study material online. Teacher can share any research

paper, education contents using Knowledge Management tool.

 

2. Open Book Policy

Era of close book exam is slowly diminishing. It is becoming important how to

extract knowledge from various

sources than having it in the brain. Analytical ability, problem solving skill is more

important than knowing certain formulas, theory etc.

Current Examination System can be changed with open book policy where

candidate can appear for the exam and can also take reference from the books. It

has been implemented at certain universities for management courses and it is

proving to be effective.

3.Detailed Assessment of the Students over theperiod of time

Assessment or evaluation of students should be changed radically. Existing

examination system focuses more on theory knowledge of the students and not on

analytical ability or application of the knowledge.

University can define chapter-wise online assessment tests. Each students can

appear for topic-wise, chapter-wise tests 2-3 times in a month. Instead of taking

only one exam in each semester, process of conducting multiple assessments over

the period of time can keep students on their toes and they can keep their

knowledge fresh.

 

4. More Practical / Less Theory Assessments

Universities should also focus more on practical aspects of the knowledge. Theory

assignments should be minimized and practical aspect of the grading system should

be increased. In the current context there is more weightage on theory aspect of

the subject. Less knowledge of the practical aspects is one of the key roadblock for

the students while going for the job.

In the current context of the world, You can listen, read to the smartest people in

the world give interesting lectures on the most important topics for free using

youtube or other social media channels. Education is becoming open so assessment

of the education or examination process should also be changed accordingly.
