LIS Courses in Distance Education Mode
by A.T. Francis 15 Jul '09

15 Jul '09

Dear Professionals, There is no harm in conducing courses in distance education mode. But, the problem lies with the quality of the distance education courses. The prestiges courses like CA, ICWA, ACS, IETE, AMIE, etc. are conducing distance education mode effectively. No dilution of quality in these courses we have heard. At the same time, many universities are conducting courses in distance education mode mainly to generate fund and not to provide quality education to the students at their door steps. Even after the establishment of Distance Education Council, desired positive improvements in quality is yet to be achieved in the courses of most of the universities. In Kerala, most of the certificates of professional courses received through distance education mode is not recognised by the Kerala Public Service Commission and Kerala University. At the same time, Kerala University is offering professional courses, including BLISc and MLISc, in distance education mode. It is high to frame uniform rules applicable to all over India to clear confusion in this regard. The first aim of the students should be to do quality education and obtain a valid certificate for that. In Kerala, lots of students are struggling without recognising the certificates by the universities. Wih regards, DR. A.T.
