Introduction
Education
Technology has the potential to provide equal opportunities in several ways.
According to means and olson access to educational technology at school can
give students from low income homes , where there is little or no access to technology,
“a needed edge to compete with children from more affluent homes where
technology is common place in other words we can say that guaranteeing access
for all classrooms to affordable educational technology in order to achieve
curricular goals makes it possible to begin to address the inequities that
exist among schools. Grabe and grabe note that technology in the form of
telecommunications allow access to people access to interactive services
through online discussion groups, interactive conference and interactive
tutorials and access to files through online databases, library holdings texts
and graphic files on the internet.
Objectives
1. To
understand concept of instructional resource centre.
2. To
design the components of instructional resources centre
3. To
list out necessary equipment and accessories of an instructional resource
centre.
Theoretical
Overview
Satellite Instructional Television Experiment (SITE)
The
Satellite instructional Television Experiment or SITE was an experimental
Satellites communications project launched in India in 1975 by National
aeronautics and space administration (NASA), USA and ISRO. SITE made available
informational Television to rural India by various international agencies such
as UNDP, UNESCO, UNICEF, ITU. It plays a major role in helping develop India’s
own Satellite Programe, INSAT. The programmes under the SITE were classified into 2 categories
a)
Educational Television (ETV)
b)
Instructional Television (ITV)
ETV
programs mainly focused on School Children in the age group of 5-12 years. It
makes the education more interesting creative purposive and stimulating and also create awareness in the changing

Such as Hindi, Oria, Telugu and Kannada. The SITE was operated for one fall
year from August 1975 July 1976 and covered six states.
Objectives
of SITE
1. Gain
experience in the development, testing and management of Satallite based
instructional TV system particularly in rural areas.
2. Demonstrate
the potential value of satellite technology in the rapid development of effective
communication in the developing countries
3. Democrate
the value of Satallite broadcaste TV in the practical instruction of village
inhabitants
4. Stimulate
national development in India with monogerial economics technological Social
implication
SITE was more effective
than all other media. It was more attractive to female audience.
Gyan-Darsan
Educational Channel
Gyan-Darsan
is launched by ministry of Human resource development, information and
broadcasting, Prasar Bharti and Igno in 26th January 2000 as the
exclusive educational daily test transmission channel for students of open and
conventional Universities. The time was further increase due to good response up
to 19 hours within 1 year it became non-stop daily 24 hours transmission
channel for educational programmes. The programme constitute 23 hours
indigenous programmes and 1 hour foreign programmes. Curriculam based and
enrichment programmes telecasted for 24 hours. And 4 hours for 1 GNO CIET-NCERT
, 3 hours for IIT 2 and half hours for CEC-UGC and 1 hour each for TTTI and
adult education. It has been used extensively in conventional and distant
education format.
EDUSAT
(Education Satellite)
Edusat was launched by Indian space
research Organization on 20th September 204. It is a path-breaking
effort in the concept of tele education. The main purpose of this is to provide
education to all people primarly children from remot areas of the country who
can not go to schools or colleges. The claude would be conducted by (varioue
stte education board) NCERT, CBSE, Universities etc. in a studio environment
using powerpoint presentation as well as the common blackboard. It is having
interactive as well as non-interactive sessions offered.
Objectives
of EDUSAT
1. Ensure
availability of quality content online and through variety of access devices in
schools.
2. Promote
a shift from current passive learning to active learning.
3. Inservice
and recurrent training of School teachers continues upgradion of their

educational communication popularly known as CEC is one of the inter University
centres setup by the University Grants Commission of India. It has been
established with the goal of addressing the needs of Higher education through
the use of powerful medium of Television along with the appropriate use of
emerging information communication Technology(ICT). Realizing the potential and
power of Television to act as means of educational knowledge dissemination UGC
started the country wide classroom programmes in the year 1984. For production
of such programmes media senders were setup at 6 Universities. Subsequently CEC
emerged in 1993 as a nodal agency to co ordinate , guide and facilitate such
educational production at the national level. Today 22 media centers are
working towards achieving this goal under the umbrella of CEC.
UGC (University Grants Commission)
The UGC was
formed in 1946 to oversee the work of 3 central Universities of Aligarh
, Banaras and Delhi. In 1947 the committee was entrusted with the
responsibility of dealing with all the existing Universities. UGC was formally
inaugurated by Abdul Kalam Azad, the minister of Education. The motto of UGC is
“Gyan-Vigyan Vimutaye”.
SIET

time-table.
The ISRO has augmented the unlinking
station in time for another channel a non interactive one. The technology
deployed is similar to the direct to home (DTH) technology used in other T V
channels. Education videos, as per the
Kerala syllabus and curriculm, are primarily aired during school timings.
CONCLUSION
The ultimate goal of any plan for
educational technology should reflect two intentions, equitable access to
technology for all students and educators and comparable levels of educational
technology for all schools. In setting
up on educational technology resources centre tree aspects have to be
addressed. Determination of the
equipment required hardware and software, securing require founds so as to
cover initial costs such as maintenance and technical assistance providing
professional development for educators.
So that technology is utilized and implemented meaningfully. Thus Technology can become the force that
equalizes educational opportunities of all children regardless of location and
