Abstract

In the information technology era, the technical institutions have radically changed the information environment. Information and communication technology (ICT) has created a new opportunities to effectively store and transmit the digital video over networks. E-learning will be introduced as an integral part of an environment where teaching is transformed and where learning is an ongoing, creative process.1 Along with the basic concepts of e-learning technology and its applications to the technical education using software’s and hardware requirements, the basic objective of science and engineering education in India is to devise and guide reforms that will transform India into a strong and vibrant knowledge economy. In this context, the focus areas for National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) project have been (i) higher education, (ii) professional education, (iii) distance education, and (iv) continuous and open learning,2. The E-Vidya solution is deployed on a local high capacity server of required specification where it can be installed in each college campus. Client computers access the streaming media content over the standard high speed campus LAN using a web browser and media player plug-in.
