Khan presents Chancellor’s Awards for best universities
Governor Arif Mohammed Khan has exhorted universities to embrace digitally enabled education in right earnest and exploit the possibilities of the ‘new normal’ in the post-pandemic era.
Presenting the Chancellor’s Awards for the best universities at the Raj Bhavan here on Tuesday, Mr. Khan urged the State universities to imbibe the benefits of Internet-based education.
Pointing out that the State was poised to witness a boost in the use of technology in education through the Kerala Fibre Optic Network (KFON) project, the Governor lamented the slow progress being made by the universities in contributing substantially to offering Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC) through services like Study Webs of Active–Learning for Young Aspiring Minds (SWAYAM). He hoped that all State universities uploaded at least 50% of lectures on the online platform for wider access.
