US, India tie up to provide e-learning - India Times
Funding for the US participation in the program is coming from Qualcomm, Microsoft and Cadence Design. "We are delighted to forge this new partnership between Indian institutions and the UC system," said Gretchen Kalonji, director of International Strategy Development for UC's Office of the President. "By expanding opportunities for international academic collaborations in critical fields , this partnership will not only help keep the University of California competitive, but it will help drive global innovation and economic prosperity. " Under the agreement, UC Berkeley and UC San Diego, as well as Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, the State University of New York at Buffalo, and the Case Western Reserve University will encourage engineering faculty to spend a semester of their sabbatical at Amrita University in Tamil Nadu. Amrita will extend the use of its e-learning centre, making it possible to be beamed over Edusat, a satellite launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) to transmit educational programming to multiple educational institutions throughout India.
