Abstract

With the limitations imposed by Covid-19 pandemic, educational regulatory bodies in India recommended a number of online education portals to support higher education. Present work undertakes a detailed study on these recommended platforms and presents a comparative analysis based on the relevant features. ‘SWAYAM’ a widely popular and emphasized Indian MOOC platform has been compared with the other popular e-learning platforms of the international market. The study revealed that e-learning platforms vary in terms of offerings such as: method of dissemination of knowledge, target audiences, fee, target audiences, etc. Also, in terms of user base, courses offered, and certificates offered, ‘SWAYAM’ has to work a lot to compete with the international peers. Finally, SWOC analysis was carried out to present the threats and opportunities associated with recommended e-learning portals. The work will be profoundly helpful to frame the comprehensive education policies to meet the stakeholder’s expectations and lead to the innovation of educational development.

利用基于信息通信技术的学习工具和应用抗击疫情:以印度高等教育平台为例

由于新冠肺炎大流行带来的限制，印度教育监管机构推荐了一些在线教育门户网站，以支持高等教育。本文对这些推荐平台进行了详细的研究，并根据相关特点进行了对比分析。“SWAYAM”是一个广受欢迎和重视的印度MOOC平台，与国际市场上其他流行的电子学习平台进行了比较。研究显示，电子学习平台在提供的内容方面存在差异，例如:知识传播方式、目标受众、收费、目标受众等。此外，在用户基础、提供的课程和提供的证书方面，“SWAYAM”必须付出很多努力才能与国际同行竞争。最后，进行了SWOC分析，以展示与推荐的电子学习门户相关的威胁和机会。这一研究成果将对构建符合利益相关者期望的综合性教育政策、引领教育发展创新具有深远的意义。
