About Digital Learning
Digital Learning is expected to accelerate student enrolment into higher education and make quality education accessible to all through a range of measures, including online education and Open Distance Learning (ODL), keeping in view the needs of learners with disabilities and substantial increases in scholarships at private/ philanthropic universities for disadvantaged and underprivileged students. Additionally, online professional development interventions are expected to be strengthened and substantially expanded to meet the needs of quality education and ensure standardized offerings. HEIs can act as digital Nodal agencies and offer online and ODL programs. Further Credit transfers from SWAYAM can also be adopted. Activities that will be aimed to be covered in this pillar are adoption of SWAYAM by learners, ODL and Online Programmes offered by HEIs and adoption of SAMARTH by HEIs for digital administration.
