Last year in October the national institute of technology -Trichy (NIT), introduced virtual classroom system to its students and is now taking technology to other private institutions on the advice of the Union human resource department ministry.
The system will enable scholars to be taught by the best teachers and will also help them evaluate the students, a practice which is already in vogue in foreign universities. By this process, NIT-T also proposes to make the lectures by its faculty to be available to other self-financing colleges.
At present 10 classrooms have been converted into virtual classrooms enabling two-way audio and video between the remote teacher and a number of classrooms. For instance, if Kannan Moudgalya of IIT-Bombay delivers a lecture from there, students in NIT-Trichy sitting in various classrooms can listen and even interact with the teacher. There will be a moderator in each class, and he will raise his hand indicating that one of the students want a clarification, explained Venkataramani.
