Right from the inception of the prestigious Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), chancellor Dr G Viswanathan had envisioned that the institution would offer tech-oriented education to students, who would in turn create an indelible impact on society. In 2001, when the institution attained the university status, information technology also started to make deep inroads into our lives. VIT harnessed this power extensively to break away from rigidity and offer freedom to students in their choice of courses. As a result, VIT introduced Fully Flexible Credit System (FFCS), which empowered students to choose their subjects, time slots and faculty members. Dr Viswanathan professes, “The institution has created an information rich, interactive online platform as a one-stop solution to cater to all the academic needs of students and faculty members. We have also initiated a digital examination and evaluation system to make the process more transparent. Further, we have established VIT Institute of Online Learning (VITOL) to facilitate the development of online courses. A world-class virtual studio facility has been created for preparing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) in Vellore campus.”
“THE ACCESS TO RECORDED LECTURES THROUGH LECTURE CAPTURE SOLUTION PROVIDES STUDENTS THE ABILITY TO VIRTUALLY RE-LIVE THEIR CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE.”
-Dr Ramdas Pai, Chancellor, MAHE
