The course is being delivered in eLearning mode using Moodle (an open-source LMS) as its Learning Management System. LMS is web-based and can be accessed from any browser connected to Internet. LMS provides a virtual classroom experience to both students and faculty members. Unlike on-campus classes, online class lectures remain available for rest of the course duration, once they are available on LMS. However, students are strongly encouraged to go through the lecture and attempt its quiz in its allotted duration without accumulating unread course material and pending assignments.
Candidates will be evaluated on the basis of their response and performance in the uploaded quiz, assignments and participation in discussion forum. Evaluation will, hence, be an ongoing, continuous and comprehensive process.
