Discussant:
V.S. Oberoi, Secretary, MHRD and & R. Subrahmanyam, Additional Secretary, Technical Education

Abstract:
Online technology has the potential to revolutionize education bringing lower costs and greater access to millions. Online technology is also a fundamentally better way of teaching. New technologies will change the industrial organization of education--how education is delivered, who produces it and how it is paid for. The cost disease does not apply to teaching online. Online technologies have special advantages for a developing nation such as India and give it the potential to increase educational quality far faster than using conventional techniques.
