A host of collaboration tools

Even within the diatance learning education environment, interation between the tutors and students is essential to gauge the dissipation of knowledge and provide inputs, clarify doubts, queries etc. so that the education experience is enhanced. The LMS incorporates several bilateral and unilateral interation tools such as:

Chat-
The students can use this tool to interact with the faculty and their fellow batch-mates by exchanging written messages in real-time. In order to interact in real-time, both the partners need to be online at the same time and logged on to the virtual campus.

Discussion forum
- The students can use this tool for open offline discussions on their topics of interest. The students can write their queries in the forum under a specific subject category. The faculties and other students can enter their replies/answers to the queries posted by different students.

Email-
The students can use this tool to send mails to the faculty and fellow batch-mates by entering their messages. Once the messages are delivered, they will show up in the "inbox" of the receiver. The receiver can then read the message and also post a reply to the message or forward the same to another student/faculty.

Electronic Whiteboard-
This tool simulates the conventional black board that is used by faculty to teach the students. As the faculty draws on the whiteboard, the students can view the image of the board in real-time. This gives the students a feel of the virtual presence of the faculty as is present in the conventional education system.

File Sharing-
This tool allows the students to share their documents with fellow batch-mates and enables them to work in teams or groups. This is of great help when they are working on projects or assignments.

Announcements-
This tool allows students to receive important notices and circulars issued by the university.

Reminders-
This tool allows students to prepare their own calendar by entering the various tasks that need to be completed on a certain point of time. The reminder will automatically remind the student in advance as soon as he/she logs on to the virtual campus about the task that needs to be completed that was entered for a particular day and time.

Newsletters-
This tool allows students to periodically receive latest news updates issued by the university.

Analysis-The LMS maintains extensive data mining across the system. This helps to define and create various reports, which are easily customizable. These can range from tracking user navigation across content to results comparison and statistical analysis and presentation of scores. However for evaluation of students the conventional examination system is being retained (with 80% weightage) till an appropriate and reliable online evaluation mechanism evolves.
