Videos for B Tech education

Libraries in Engineering Colleges can set up video viewing sections, as part
of the libraries, by putting a few computers and making available, the NTPEL
Video lectures on B Tech courses, in them, for promoting e-learning.
The high quality video lectures for around 4500 hours, created by 350
teachers in IITs are included in the NTPEL package. The cost altogether for
the videos in DVD format is Rs one lakh only. Alternatively, the contents
can be put as a website in intranet. By setting up such an e-learning unit,
the library can emerge as a direct partner in engineering education, by
disseminating the contents of the video lectures.

This mail is intended to draw the attention of the pro-active librarians in
engineering colleges to the less utilized NTPEL e-learning package.
The lectures are available for viewing on YouTube at

NTPEL site at http://nptel.iitm.ac.in/ will provide more details.
