The program will help deliver knowledge and practical skills to faculty and students at Indian universities through their Learning Paths
Up to 200 individuals from each university learning for free during the lockdown
Speaking on the launch of Campus Connect, Krishna Kumar, Founder and CEO Simplilearn, said, "Teaching via digital platforms is a new experience for both faculty and students. In fact, teaching online is a competency that can be developed by learning and teaching online. Through the Campus Connect Initiative, we at Simplilearn intend to fulfill this criterion. As an EdTech provider, we wanted to extend our expertise to more individuals and learners during this nationwide lockdown. Understanding that many Indian universities are new to the concept of online education, we decided to open our premium master's program to faculty as well. By empowering faculty with the right skills and tools for online teaching, this further ensures continuity in studies and delivery of quality education to students during these uncertain times. With Campus Connect, we hope to build a stronger online education system in India as we believe that this will be the future of education." He further added, "In these uncertain times, it is also heartening to see the global EdTech ecosystem stepping up to offer free learning programs to students and professionals stuck at home, encouraging them to continue learning."
