New Delhi (NVI): Amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has caused extreme distress to students, and is a setback to academic activity, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has introduced an online ELIS portal which will offer e-learning content.
In order to foster digital learning and support the student community across the country at this time, Enhancement in Learning with Improvement In Skills (ELIS) portal has been designed by AICTE and is available at free.aicte-india.org.
ELIS portal has been created to provide all students with content that not only enhances learning for regular subjects but also aims to build up valuable skill sets as required in the actual work environment, according to a statement released by the AICTE.
The e-learning content on the portal has been sourced from 18 leading Ed-tech companies with 26 different courses, the Council said.
Under normal circumstances, these are selectively available at prices ranging from Rs 5,000 to Rs 20,000. However, all participating companies have offered to enrol students in the present lockdown period without any cost till 15 May 2020, it said.
All companies have also gracefully agreed to keep the course free, the Council said. In effect, there shall be no charges whatsoever to be paid by learners who enrol now till the course is
completed, it added.
The portal was formally launched yesterday (April 12) by Prof. Anil Sahasrabudhe, Chairman AICTE along with Prof MP Poonia, Vice-chairman AICTE and Prof Rajive Kumar, Member Secretary, AICTE.
