| IT in education |
Thomas Abraham, managing director of Sage Software (India) is of the view that technology can facilitate incremental learning, or even modular learning that doesn't necessitate interactions. It gives us various options to accelerate the learning process.
IT has brought in a lot of changes in the way education is delivered today - making it more interactive, individualized, accessible, and computer-mediated, followed by flexibility in interface.
”Technology allows people to learn more effectively at their own pace and in their own time. The formal education imparted in India has to keep in tune with the technologies in use today," says R. Krishnan, executive director of Aptech. |

| Recent initiatives |
| Recently, Computer Society of India (CSI) and Aptech took a joint initiative in Chennai to make 2.5 lakh Indians IT literate. "For imparting quality education, we use Computer-Based Trainings (CBTs), and online trainings, besides instructor led trainings. For this proficiency in MS Office and Internet tools is sufficient," adds Krishnan.
