SWAYAM are Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds Courses. The SWAYAM MOOC platform was developed by AICTE in 2016 to facilitate hosting of online courses which could be accessed by anyone, anywhere at any time free of cost. The courses are offered by SWAYAM in the form of video lectures, specially prepared reading material that can be downloaded/printed, self-assessment tests through tests and quizzes and an online discussion forum for clearing the doubts.
The initiative has been introduced with an aim to make high-quality teaching and learning resources available to all, including those who have been historically underserved. SWAYAM aims to bridge the digital divide, ensuring that students who have not yet benefited from the digital revolution can participate in the knowledge economy.
