Paper presented in IDEA 2008 & later published in Book form "ODL system in transition" / Open Courseware is nothing but the repository of the study and learning materials in
digital form in the web which is open for every user i.e. Open Access. These
repositories envisage to store, index, preserve, distribute and share the digital learning
resources with any time access offering interoperability. On the other hand, e-learning
covers a myriad set of applications, and processes such as computer based learning,
web-based learning, virtual classrooms, etc. What is most significant about the method
is that it ensures faster learning at comparatively reduced cost and gives access to more
learning resources. In India, a number of institutions are digitizing their course
materials and a good number of open courseware have been established e.g.
eGyankosh-a National Digital Repository, CEC Learning Object Repository, Indo-
German eGurukul on Digital Libraries, NPTEL, NCERT Online Textbooks, UNESCOSALIS
e-Learning Portal, etc. This paper presents a scenario of the Open Courseware
initiatives in India that can be helpful and necessary to the e-learners.
