Abstract

The need of education in today's world is immensely required and the so is the need of resources. The use of technology in the field of education would help people gain outmost knowledge from the most knowledgeable people present on earth. Distance is the key which is holding people from across the world to share knowledge. Distance learning tool helps the education system of the world to narrow down the edges present in the education system esp. those present because of long distance. The paper seeks to address the distance learning methodology which is now growing fast but not fast enough to be used practically everywhere. The thesis is focused on the implementation of e-siksha, a distance education tool which would help student and teachers all around the world to use a common platform available for free. This tool can be used by any teacher and students. The students however would not be required to use the application instead would be using the e-siksha blog page on the internet. The teachers would have access to both the application and website. No registration is required to gain access to already recorded session, as the idea of e-siksha is to spread education for free. This thesis proposes a successful approach for a tool which can be used by teachers and students to initiate class anywhere in the world and thus can be accessed by any student present anywhere in the world. The classes can be accessed by using any multimedia device such as laptops, computers, Phone or tablets.
