Abstract :
This paper provides means of improvement on the existing e-learning techniques adopted by NPTEL (National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning) and CDEEP (Centre for Distance Engineering Education Program). Here, a two way model with the name, “Virtual Lecture and Lab Outsourcing Technique” is proposed. The model uses live webcasting and instant messaging as the chief technologies to provide education for all. Research work and survey is done after proposing this model in front of the students and their opinions compared using acceptance rate as an index.
