What is EduNxt ?

 

EduNxt^TM is the next generation learning system that fully takes advantage of modern teaching techniques to create a virtual classroom where students come together to learn from distinguished faculty and each other. EduNxt^TM was launched by SMU-DE in May 2009 by Steve Ballmer, CEO Microsoft Corp. USA and Anand Sudarshan, CEO Manipal Education to fulfil the following objectives- 

• Take the fruits of online learning to all the Distance Education students of SMU-DE
• Impart quality education through cutting edge technology
• Develop a sense of togetherness among the members and different stakeholders of the huge SMU community within the platform

The EduNxt^TM platform is an easy to use delivery system. It enables a collaborative and interactive environment for learning and includes small group mentoring, virtual classrooms, simulation, self-study content, recorded presentations and shared browsing. EduNxt^TM functions on the principle of 3As + 4Cs. The 3 As of Affordability, Accessibility and Appropriateness are the guideline to scaling up EduNxt^TM across distributed learning. The 4Cs of Content, Collaboration, Communication and Computing are the basis of developing EduNxt^TM into a means of disseminating education among the not-so-privileged or the infrastructure – challenged.

EduNxt supports all courses offered by SMU-DE.
