 Hi everyone, I am Dr. Sadu La Khan and right now I am working as assistant professor at School of Media and Communication, Manipali University, Jaipur. As far as NPTEL is concerned, NPTEL is an acronym for National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning, which is an initiative by seven Indian Institutes of Technology, i.e. IIT Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee as well as Indian Institute of Science for creating course content in engineering and science. Not only that, there are other fields like management, humanities and social sciences which are covered under NPTEL. As per my regard, I joined NPTEL courses out of sheer interest. The courses offered by NPTEL has well defined content, articulate faculty, vibrant pedagogical methods, assignment for brainstorming, which forces you to zero in on as well as reason. What actually strikes me the most is the principle to stick to deadlines regarding assignment submissions. One has to submit answers to the specific deadline and after that, the very assignment is locked. This treat maintains punctuality and sincerity among the candidates. For people like me, I go for NPTEL lectures almost every single day. Biggest reason for that is they are refreshing enough and full of new knowledge. If you feel something is missing for that, there is a discussion forum. I cannot generalize the fact but in certain courses, the instructors were not that much active on discussion portal. I believe an instructor must be extremely active and must initiate healthy discussions, at least in a week, by choosing the topic from the course content. Likewise, live discussions are extremely healthy and must be scheduled twice a month. So far, I find them quite rarely. NPTEL lecture videos can be downloaded very easily. They are easily accessible via mobile but entire application has certain limitations. In my context, I always prefer a transcript, which actually means the text of the video. I have so far never took any help for my assignments and I believe the modules are designed in such a way that they are enough for self-tutoring. NPTEL courses are government-recognized and can be incorporated as a part of CBCS, which means choice-based credit systems depending on the institutional acceptability. NPTEL is one of the milestone in India's futuristic vision of education and strengthened India's candidature to become a global knowledge hub. I found using NPTEL website extremely easy. The staff or rather the team working for NPTEL is awesome. Emails are answered with regularity and sometimes within a span of few minutes. If you are serious for academics, go for NPTEL. Thank you.
