Does rising cut-offs and the fear of not getting admission in your college of choice giving you cold feet, then you have a reason to smile.

The Delhi University is working on a project to provide video lectures of teachers from several colleges online. For this purpose, DU is setting up a modern studio at its Institute of Life Long Learning (ILL), where lectures of popular teachers and experts of various disciplines will be recorded and put on its portal. 

“We are getting recorded the lectures of the best of our teachers from all the colleges so that the students can learn from them on-line no matter in what college they are enrolled,” ILL Director A K Bakshi said.

 
The project has been basically initiated under the Rs 542.90 crore ‘Pan-African e-Network Project’, commissioned by the Ministry of External Affairs of India in February this year. Under this project DU will develop e-content, including the multimedia material for various disciplines to be provided to the African students. 

The video-graphed lectures will be broadcast live through satellite to the African countries so that they can get class-like atmosphere there while pursuing a DU programme without having to move out of their countries. 

These lectures will also be available for DU students too who can learn from them by just logging on to our web portal. The department has already identified the teachers in this regard and has asked them to submit their manuscripts for such lectures. 

DU is planning to put some of these lectures as early as the next month.
