Hurray!!! No more boring classrooms, no more angry eyes glaring through the glasses.

Interactive Distance Learning provides you with good and relevant learning through interactive media, with a human face at the other end and high degree of interactivity. Also, the everyday need to travel long distances to attend classes and examinations is minimized when everything is possible within your reach!!!

However, distance education can never replace the state certificate examination courses or the school. Nor is it meant to. Precisely so because there are benefits a school offers that no private educational system can even think of offering.

The goal of good education is critically dependant on three factors:

The quality of good teachers
The availability of these good teachers even in places which do not justify the opening of a center because of lack of required number of students.
The affordability of such training.

Advantages of Interactive Distance Learning:

First, it allows students to have good quality education even in areas where the numbers of students wanting a particular course do not justify the commercial viability of a private brick and mortar tuition center or coaching class.

Second, distance learning allows students to get the best teachers to teach students. And good teachers are hard to come by. Distance learning allows for a good teacher to become “available” across the country.

And last, but not the least distance learning can help reduce the cost of training and development. This is because, in a virtual classroom, the numbers of students, once they exceed a certain minimum requirement, can help in reducing the cost of the course.
In a country like India, there is a shortage of good teachers. Hence, ETL has decided to make use of VSATs or cable or terrestrial networks with broad band capabilities so that it can make even a 'few' good teachers available to all the people.

VSAT's offer a good solution to spread a reliable network to all the 5000 cities and towns and 600,000 villages in India, where internet based on terrestrial networks covers barely 200 cities and towns.In the absence of proper network connectivity in India the VSAT is the quickest route to provide global learning resources with globally recognized certification which is reasonably priced and has a reasonable guarantee of employability. Interactive Distance Learning is based on the concept of Multicasting.

Multicasting:

Multicasting provides a comprehensive learning environment that not only allows interaction among students but also between students and tutors. It involves taking one transmission channel and squeezing multiple program signals into it, all at the same time. The multi media training will help reach geographically diverse pockets, thereby, dispersing learning modules that provide the required education and training.So, multicasting technology, for example, can facilitate a student living in Nasik to gain access to a Davar’s class taking place in Mumbai making available an experience of a living, breathing classroom. Thus, the facilitator and peer interaction, which is the most invaluable component in any learning process, is encouraged at every stage.
