Pune University puts six credit courses on 'Swayam'

Pune: The Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) has made its six courses available on the online portal 'Swayam' developed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Development. The Educational Multimedia Research Centre (EMMRC) has produced these six courses which will be beneficial for students pursuing degree education.

The COVID-19 outbreak has compelled all universities and educational institutes to offer online education. The Pune University has also started preparing e-content for various educational courses and the ways to make it accessible for students. The university plans to make 40 per cent of its syllabus accessible online.

Pune University had last year implemented a choice based credit system for degree and post-graduation courses. Last year the syllabus of first year was taught on this basis and now the second year syllabus will also be covered similarly. So, first and second year students can now do credit courses through Swayam online portal.

Shrikant Thakar, Coordinator of EMMRC said, "The academic council of Swayam has approved six courses developed by the university. These courses are mainly from the political science and management branch."

Vivek Nabar, Senior Producer, EMMRC said, "Although most of the credit courses on Swayam platform are related to the management branch, students from any degree course can apply for it. The credit courses are typically of 8 to 12 weeks duration. For each course, students will get 3 to 4 credits. Also, an internal assessment exam is conducted every week. Swayam undertakes final exams in November and December."

Dr Nitin Karmalkar, Vice Chancellor of SPPU said, "Through 'Swayam' 20 per cent credit transfer was possible which has now been increased to 40 per cent. Students can access free courses on Swayam prepared by renowned faculties from the country. The Pune University has prepared six courses for Swayam."
