UGC Wednesday asked institutions to make courses available via govt platform SWAYAM. Academics question move, citing issues like need for classroom instruction & lack of infrastructure.

New Delhi: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked universities to offer up to 40 per cent of the courses in any programme online on SWAYAM, the central government’s Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) platform. 

Academics have questioned this move, citing issues such as the need for classroom instruction, lack of infrastructure on campus, and large numbers of students falling on the wrong side of the digital divide. 

Making courses available online through SWAYAM was prescribed last year under the University Grants Commission (Credit Framework for Online Learning Courses through Study Webs of Active Learning for Young Aspiring Minds) Regulations, 2021. The UGC has now asked universities to follow this rule. 

A circular sent to the vice chancellors of all universities and principals of all colleges Wednesday asked them to comply in large numbers, and submit an action-taken report. 

The circular issued by UGC secretary Rajnish Jain said, “Several universities have already accepted SWAYAM courses for credit transfer, and [the] remaining universities are also requested to take similar measures and intimate the action taken.”
