A group of more than 20 educational institutions, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and governments has come together to form the Indian Consortium for Educational Transformation (I-CONSENT). COL helped to form I-CONSENT, which is working to increase access to quality education through eLearning.
"Technology will help us level the playing field for all learners," said Professor Ram Takwale, a former Vice Chancellor of India's Indira Gandhi National Open University and Honorary COL Fellow, who is the head of I-CONSENT. "It's not possible for a single institution to meet the challenge of Education for All, so we need to come together - public institutions, private groups, communities and individuals - to develop solutions."
I-CONSENT is currently leading four initiatives:
Virtual School and Learning Homes: a pilot programme in Maharashtra State that offers education to out-of-school children through open and distance learning.
Open Educational Resources: learning materials that are freely available online for educators.
Nurturing Excellence and Talent Services (NETS): a training programme that teaches teachers to use various tools and techniques to identify and nurture talent in students.
eTeacher Training: an audio programme with learner support that provides teachers with knowledge and skills in information and communications technologies, open and distance learning and the development and use of open educational resources.
