The Online Courses should totally replace all distance education
The time has come to save on precious paper and the huge resources needed for the traditional offline distance education. For example, a very famous University like the Annamalai University slipped meeting some statutory norms. The University seems to be reinventing itself now.The time has now come for the mighty Indira Gandhi National Open University to change to the Online medium. This means that there will be resources needed for this purpose, but it could possibly have tie-ups with several colleges covering the entire country and invite experts from the industry to conduct the sessions on a contract basis. For academic subjects, the retired but active experts can handle the sessions.
