| dc.description.abstract | PCF1 // Modern age is the age of information. Technological advancements have shrinked the whole world. In today’s sphere of education, the use of computers not only helps in the process of learning but also in administering the educational system itself. The use of computers becomes more important and necessary in the case of open schooling and distance education to make the process more speedy, accurate and cost effective. The communication and information revolutions have effectively abolished the distance and have made the open schooling system in a real sense of education at doorstep. In fact with the advent of Internet and web technology, the idea is shifting from education at doorstep to education at fingertips. Today, it is possible to have a virtual classroom, where a student can interact with his teacher without being actually organizing a class. This technology has revolutionized the total open schooling system. Today, there are number of institutions available on the Internet offering various courses on-line. // The computerization of open schooling has two aspects. One aspect deals in the automation of the process and methodology of open learning system while the other aspect deals in the computerization of the management of open schooling. This paper deals with the second aspect with reference to computerization in National Open School, India. // | |
