Consortium for Educational Communication

Cashing on the benefits of the Internet, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has developed an e-module through which students can watch and listen to lectures by experts on various subjects, and appear for web-based tests from the comfort of their homes.

Programmes of India's Vyas Channel, dedicated to education and managed by the Consortium for Educational Communication (CEC), an inter-university centre of the UGC, is now available on its website www.cec-ugc.org. "The module presents the lectures in a systematic manner”

The CEC has a target of converting all 15,000 programmes into the e-content module.
