Abstract
When i start the day with morning news paper, it’s very sad to learn that-“Exam
System drives Kids to Suicide - 6000 died of exam in 2007 in India” which
means 16 youths a day. Unbelievable to me and to the world. The examination
system today in India follows an orthodox pattern of evaluating the student
annually, putting high burden of course and in the prefixed time frame.
Examinations should not be seen as a trouble but as a tool for enhancing
learning. Examination system needs to be flexible, adaptable and transparent in
view of paradigm shift in teaching and learning processes.
Open learning/Distance Education is the methodology in which the learner does
not go to Educational Institution but the Education comes to his doorstep. Even
with the conventional system of learning the evaluation pattern needs to be
changed with Examination - On Demand (E-OD) - the only answer. The
evaluation system is ready to take the exam when the learner is willing to appear
for the Exam. To achieve this objective the technological advancement the world
over is tapped by the individual/institution as the success of this system very
much depends upon the optimum utilization of the technology in the field of
education and communication. ICT can be used as a major strategy towards
reaching the unreached even. // Paper ID 311
