Delhi University is set to discuss a proposal allowing students to earn academic credits through online courses on SWAYAM and other Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) platforms at an upcoming Academic Council meeting. The proposal, which permits earning up to 5% of total credits from these courses, has faced criticism from faculty members who argue it could undermine traditional classroom learning and exacerbate the digital divide among students. Abha Dev Habib, an associate professor at Miranda House, noted that previous attempts to implement such courses had seen little student interest. Faculty member Rajesh Jha criticized the proposal as a step towards outsourcing education, reducing the role of teachers to mere facilitators. The proposal also suggests appointing Digital Learning Coordinators in each department to oversee the integration of online courses into the curriculum. Critics warn that this shift could disrupt the academic structure and diminish the quality of education at the university.
