NDLI Edupreneurship, 2018
The second NDLI edupreneurship session was conducted under the aegis of GES 2018 on 3rd February, 2018. Opened to participants by Prof. Partha Pratim Chakrabarti, Director, IIT Kharagpur and PI, NDLI, the session not only showcased NDLI, but also other e-learning initiatives coming up in the country. Members of the audience listened intently at Edupreneurship Session to presentations from various representatives.
The session on Edupreneurship highlighted the areas where NDLI will further education by making learning resources accessible, even in remote locations. Prof. Partha Pratim Das, Joint PI, NDLI explained that a Google search to locate information can prove to be inadequate for learners. What this means is that both a middle school student and a PhD researcher would find the same content upon entering similar keywords. NDLI is different in that learners can better locate resources meeting different learning needs, spanning different age groups and learning styles.
