Reactivation of IGNOU’s eGyanKosh: A National Digital Repository
IGNOU is reactivating its popular educational resource portal eGyanKosh. In view of the national requirement the University has taken a decision to reactivate the portal on ‘as-is-where-is basis’.
IGNOU initiated the development of a knowledge repository named e-GyanKosh (www.egyankosh.ac.in) in October, 2005, to store, index, preserve, distribute and share the digital learning resources developed by the ODL institutions in the country. It emerged as one of the world’s largest educational resource repositories, and the access to the repository was open and free. Self-instructional print material of around 2565 courses (comprising more than forty thousand course modules) and 2389 video programmes of IGNOU have been digitised and uploaded on the repository.
After its public launch in June 9, 2008, the site received more than 20 lakh hits, and was having more than 1,000 visits per day from all over the world. There were more than 3 lakh active registered users of the repository as reported last.The statistics clearly indicates the popularity of e-GyanKosh.
eGyankosh was not only popular amongst the IGNOU community, but also student and teaching community of other educational institutions across the country as well as worldwide. IGNOU has been playing pivotal role in distance education and as a National Resource Centre for Open and Distance Learning using innovative technologies and methodologies with international recognition and presence. Reactivation of eGyanKosh may also provide an integral base for two major initiatives of MHRD, the National Digital Library (NDL) and the SWAYAM (India MOOCS) programme and similar other platforms. This will in turn be benefitting millions of learner and teacher community in the country.
