E-learning
Organizations of varying sizes and from various fields are successfully utilizing e-learning solutions to train their employees in a cost and time effective manner.

|
|
Asynchronous: Solutions developed under this category enables students to access prepackaged training at their convenience and pace while communicating with instructors or other students through e-mail. |
|
|
Blended e-learning: It is a blend of synchronous and asynchronous learning. Solutions developed under this category require human intervention together with distance learning programs. |
|
| |
Computer based tests/assessments
The skills, knowledge and performance of employees and students can be tested and evaluated online. The response time and answers are stored and assessed electronically thereby drastically reducing the amount of time, cost and labor required in conducting and evaluating offline tests. Through online testing it is possible to easily generate and print mark-sheets, transcriptions and certificates.
Administrators can create tests and quizzes etc and post them online, from where they can be accessed by candidates. Stringent security features can be built into the testing application, restricting access to authorized candidates and limiting the number of times that a candidate can appear for a test. Extensive reporting modules can be developed and integrated with the solutions enabling institutes to generate comprehensive reports for analytical purposes based on the answers and responses of various candidates.
Computer based tests (CBT) can reside on a PC or on a local network or over the internet. The most common formats of online testing include surveys, employee assessment, certifications and simulation based tests. Some of the advantages of conducting computer based tests are as follows:
|
Helps reduce time and cost required in conducting and assessing offline tests and exams . |
|
|

|
|
A candidate can immediately be informed of his/her performance |
|
|
The CBT design is more interactive and increases the active participation of the candidate |
|
|
The answers and response time of the candidates can be used to generate reports for analytical purposes |
|
| |
Virtual Campus
A virtual campus provides a common platform for students and faculty members to interact and communicate with each other. It enables the creation of a centralized repository of information, knowledge and resources which can be easily accessed by students and faculty. Class notes and assignments can be posted on the intranet. Students can complete assignments and submit them online. The calendar tool can be used to post information and details about up-coming events. The community of students can be developed through the implementation of message boards, discussion forums, chat rooms and blogs. |

Web presence for education institutes
Websites can be developed for schools, colleges and other educational institutes in order to provide them with a platform to communicate and share information about their institute, goals, curriculum, facilities, faculty and admission policies and processes with a larger prospective student community. Multimedia can be used to create virtual tours enabling prospective students to get a feel of the institute. Students can send in queries through the website thereby enabling authorized personnel from the institute to respond to the queries in a faster and efficient manner.
Prospective students can fill in the application form and apply for admissions online. An extensive database of students can be maintained enabling institutes to keep track of the prospective candidates in an efficient manner. |
