"Open up the doors - to as many people who care to gain access to it, at whatever moments in their lives, however frequently they choose to knock upon this or that learning door - e-learning."

Researchers and institutions with long standing contributions to distance education have woken up to the untapped potential of e-learning. To utilize e-learning to its full potential, it is paramount that the results garnered by all the players in the field of e-learning are shared. This will provide a view from a new dimension covering not only the achievements but also the gaps prevalent in the implementation of e-learning concepts. The need of hour is to craft a platform for interchange of ideas and experiences so that a new perspective on e-learning concepts, implementations and technologies can be gained, leading to full utilization of e-learning's potentials.

Recognizing this, C-DAC, a Scientific Society of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (formerly the Department of Electronics), Government of India, through its Hyderabad centre has been working in the e-learning domain with a specific focus on the development of e-learning tools, content development and implementation.

The seminar will focus on various issues to be addressed in general (interactivity, bandwidth, interoperability, affordability, security) and specific to our nation (multilingual/multicultural diversity) in implementing online learning tracks. It would also suggest the best possible solutions and the focus areas where we need to concentrate our energies in developing technologies, mobile learning, blended learning scenario and aim to bring the benefits of e-learning (in terms of providing affordable, localized, user friendly, reachable, secured, just-in-time improved learning) to every nook and corner - heading towards "e-learning for all". ELELTECH INDIA 2005 is designed so that one can identify the tools, technologies and implementation approaches that are needed to foster more comprehensive online learning environments with the following features:

• Keynote address and invited talks by academic/industry leaders experienced in designing, developing and implementing e-learning programmes.
  
• Focused Sessions will discuss the following:
  • Technologies, products, content, deployment methodologies, open source and open courseware, standards, quality assurance mechanisms, caring for multi-lingual and multi-cultural diversity, mobile learning, security issues, local issues
  • Management, operations, and technology issues for successful e-learning initiatives
• Exhibition featuring innovative solutions and valuable technologies for ICT based learning environments providing an opportunity to organisations to display their e-learning technologies, products, methodologies, courseware and so on.
  
  

ELELTECH INDIA 2005 will be of interest to policy makers, managers, administrators, librarians, faculty, content developers, multimedia experts and the learning community who would like to:

• Interact with technology experts
  
  
• Introduce and promote e-learning in their institution or organization
  
  
• Develop e-learning related skills
  
  
• Develop course material for e-learning courses
  
  
• Gain learning experience
