Welcome to A-VIEW!
Overview
A-VIEW (Amrita Virtual Interactive E-Learning World) is an internet based virtual knowledge sharing
platform, developed by Amrita E-Learning Research Labs, Amrita University, Kollam. The project in its
present form was launched in August 2009 by Former President Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. A-VIEW
enables a teacher or a group of teachers to reach out face to face to tens of thousands of students
across the country. In addition, it is possible to complement this live interaction with teaching aids such
as lecture notes, whiteboard, presentations, quiz, voting, polling and A-VIEW Playback (previously
recorded classes), thus provide a complete learning experience. 2D and 3D animations is a feature
unique to A-VIEW. This would help the students gain a thorough understanding of complex concepts.
Planned beneficiaries: As shown in the figure below, Amrita University develops and distributes the AVIEW platform, and also uses it directly. The main direct beneficiaries are the institutes who are enabling
distance education using A-VIEW. These institutions who are A-VIEW Enablers in turn benefit the
student and/or teachers and the institutes receiving the lectures through A-VIEW. The ultimate
beneficiaries, however, are the teachers, students, and administrators.
