The
Consortium for Educational Communication (CEC), an Inter University Centre of
UGC on Electronic Media has the mandate of Production and dissemination of
multimedia educational content on Higher Education. Today it is also one of the
largest repositories in the country for multimedia educational content. CEC has
also been intensely involved in various MHRD led initiative of digitization of
higher education in the country notably E-content, Videos, MOOCs on SWAYAM and
DTH channels on SWAYAM Prabha platform, etc.
CEC
has developed digital educational content known as E-content in more than 90
undergraduate subjects. The e-contents developed under National Mission for
Education through Information and Communication Technologies (NME-ICT) of MHRD,
includes approx. 24,000+ learning modules which have been developed by
involving more than 2000 finest available teachers of the country. The content
has a unique 4-quadrant structure with components like educational videos,
e-books, quizzes, MCQs and reference materials, etc. in each learning module.
Each learning module is equivalent to 2-3 hours of classroom teaching which may
be used by learners as supplementary materials or may be taught to them in
blended or other modes.
Further,
CEC is making the entire e-content as an open resource available for free
access through its website http://www.cec.nic.in. We believe that the entire
undergraduate digital content shall benefit our students immensely and help
them equip with relevant knowledge and skills. Let’s join hands together to
bring the quality digital educational content within the easy reach and access
of our students of the teaching community.
