Educational institutions here observed the Digital India Week, an initiative of the Central government, to create awareness of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)-related services among students from July 1 to 7.
At Lady Doak College, the students were enlightened on a ‘Spoken tutorial project’ of IIT-Bombay for which the college is recognised as a super resource centre.
“Through the project, students can share content and learn using free and open source software available,” said Christianna Singh, Vice-Principal and Project Coordinator.
Ms. Christianna said that ICT-enabled education would lead to vast learning opportunities for students and access would be made easier.
“ICT-enabled education stresses better access and high quality of content for everyone. With more educational institutions working with such opportunities available and providing them for students, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of seeing a digital India would be achieved,” she explained.
At Thiagarajar College, the Department of Computer Science engaged students in a discussion on ‘Exposure to Digital World.’
S. Sukumar, General Manager, Kalvi Institute, addressed students.
