XIII BRAINSTORMING

“Envisioning of CEC’s objectives and goals: Realigning in the context of Higher Education policies on ICT and e-Learning”

A two day Brainstorming on “Envisioning of CEC’s objectives and goals: Realigning in the context of Higher Education policies on ICT and e-Learning” was organized by the Consortium for Educational Communication, New Delhi on November 16-17, 2011 at Magnolia Hall, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi.

The Brainstorming Sessions were held with a exclusive core group of eminent participants of about 50 no’s like educationist, policy makers, Vice-Chancellor’s and Directors of CEC’s seventeen Media Centres and also the Vice-Chancellor’s of some of the proposed affiliated Media Centres to be set up by UGC and also the UGC/ IUC officials.

As you know CEC imparts technology enabled blended higher education through the use of Television, Edusat, Internet, ICT and its applications and thereby it provides educational opportunities to the left out youth, quality content for general and add on courses to the students in universities and colleges, value added education in various vocations and professional courses, mass education to the existing work force of the country and finally providing lifelong education to all by empowering people with knowledge through the electronic media.

CEC felt there was a need for the credo of CEC to be revisited in the new scenario of ICT and e-Learning and to realign its vision in the current context and accordingly to work out strategies for the future. CEC acts as a nodal agency for electronic media activities of higher education in the country under umbrella of UGC and therefore there is a need to carve a niche place for itself in a much focused direction in the current scenario especially in the context of the higher education


21

through ICT and e-Learning.
