VLE is for the students, ILLL is for the advanced learners who would like to get trained in the new-age skills. This portal is likely to help the heads and teachers of various institutes to learn more about ICT, which is like a digital way of conducting conferences and workshops that were held earlier in the physical space and via video conferences.
Presently, DU is shut due to COVID-19 but the learning-teaching process is going on virtually. The UGC has directed the varsities to upload their academic content digitally. 25 percent of the syllabus will be published online while the remaining will be taught face to face once the institutes re-open.
