Abstract

The traditional classroom based education system has certain limitations in terms of physical infrastructure as well as human resources. To over come these limitations AI can be effectively utilized for imparting quality education to larger number of aspirants. But for effective application of Artificial Intelligence (AI), we cannot ignore the importance of HI. Human Intelligence (HI) is very important at every step. Only HI can implement the AI judiciously to integrate the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in developing and delivering the course content to the mass. With the help of ICT in higher education, the access, equity and quality can be ensured in a vast country like India. Recently, MHRD launched the Study Webs of Active-learning of Young Aspiring Minds (SWAYAM) to address the challenges like access, eqiuity and quality of higher education in India.
