The National Programme on Technology
Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) was initiated by seven Indian Institutes of
Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Guwahati and Roorkee)
along with the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 2003. Five core
disciplines were identified, namely, civil engineering, computer science and
engineering, electrical engineering, electronics and communication
engineering and mechanical engineering and 235 courses in web/video format
were developed in this phase. The main goal of NPTEL Phase II (2009-14) was
to build on the engineering and core science courses launched previously in
NPTEL Phase I. An additional 600 web and video courses were created in all
major branches of engineering, physical sciences at the undergraduate and
postgraduate levels and management courses at the postgraduate level. Several
improvements such as indexing of all video and web courses and keyword search
were implemented. https://nptel.ac.in/aboutnptel.html https://www.youtube.com/user/nptelhrd |
