Other major owners of this project have been IGNOU, NIOS, KVS, NVS, NCERT, CBSE, AICTE etc. The concept has been established. A temporary web site has been created by the NIC to make available various components of this portal to students of Kendriya Vidyalaya in Delhi. Quite a few chapters have been prepared based on the NCERT syllabus for class XI and XII. The presentation style of the learning materials is in four quadrants – one quadrant contains the NCERT text book with hyperlinks for words and concepts needing elaboration / clarification; the other quadrant contains the video lectures / clippings / animations / simulations etc. with multimedia graphics and voice; the other quadrant contains selected links to freely available related materials on the internet to provide more depth of knowledge and the last quadrant contains quiz, FAQ etc. for testing the concepts learnt. A student could switch from one resource to the other easily and depending upon his / her requirement and desired depth, could choose learning modules best suited to the individual needs. The portal also seeks to deliver the content in a personalized manner and maintain a profile of the student for this purpose.
