E-courseware: Educating yourself
17
Vibrant and growing India is attracting lot of attention. Slowly but steadily, the education system is witnessing two very important changes: One, the content in the courseware books published by international publishers and written by foreign authors is focusing on India and including an Indian perspective. Second, the Indian learning methodology is experiencing a digitization of knowledge. For example: through the ‘National Library and Information Services Infrastructure for Scholarly Content’ list students in premier institutes can access thousands of e-books that are being read by students across the globe, thus bringing the knowledge base of an Indian student at par to international standards.
Keeping in mind that present day students prefer a more holistic approach towards learning, the Indian educational institutes are creating a curriculum that is more practical and content that is more concise and wholesome.
Students know that in order to succeed in these competitive times, they have to have complete information; nothing can be left to chance. The photo-finish margins that we see in most of the entrance exam results are a perfect example of tough competition. But the competition doesn’t end with entrance exams. It lasts all through the course duration. Attaining high ranking is important if you want to get campus placement in an illustrious company.
In addition to printed textbooks, students should explore electronic resources such as e-books, e-journals, blogs, etc, that can help expand their knowledge base and make them ready for the future.
