Education
Classroom teaching and printed paper books were the only modes of education before the advent of IT. The
application of IT tools has improved the quality of presentation and reach of education. It has enabled access
to wide knowledge at instant demand, covering larger masses with interesting features and has promoted the
concept of CA (Computer Aided earning). With this many schools and institutes have turned to digitalization
and smart learning.
e inar- ased distance learning: It is a mode of providing professional or career-oriented training in
which contents are delivered to seminars located at different places by a trainer from a remote location
on the web. These presentations and lectures are broadcasted over the internet and can be accessed by
registered users through dedicated video conferencing software.
Digital Classrooms: It is the process of applying multimedia tools in classroom teaching that includes the
display of animated contents (that are delivered by a local server) with an interactive whiteboard on which
the contents are written with an I-pen which is copied by a sensor that can be used by the students as
notes in soft copy.
CB Computer Based raining : It is also known as courseware. The composed content gets delivered
via software installed on the computer.
irtual Classroom: It is an online learning environment where contents are delivered through a portal or
software which can be conveniently accessed any time and from any place by registered students pursuing
academic courses.
nline admission and Counselling: owadays, computers enable the students to fill up the admission forms
online, check their names in the admission list, pay the admission and course fee and take part in the counselling
process online, thereby saving lots of time and money in travelling.
nline E amination: It is a computer-based examination system (paperless examination) that has
completely automated the old manual procedure of conducting exams as the tests are taken on computers
online. Examination data can be stored conveniently in very less space and it also takes less time for
evaluation.
Banking
Information Technology facilitated more authentic, secured, paperless and instant banking operations through
CBS (Core Banking Solutions). Unlike in the past, the record of transactions (ledger) gets computed instead
of being calculated manually. Customer transactions related to deposits, receipts, withdrawals and payments
are maintained in the computer itself, which saves lots of paper, filing space and time. It is now possible to do
banking transactions online from any place without having to stand in long queues. It also saves our time and
can store the payment record digitally.
nline ayment: Cashless payment of electricity bills, telephone bills, school fees, etc. is made electronically
through Credit Card, Debit Card, Online Banking, Online Payment Portals (e.g. Paytm) using computers or
mobile devices and the Internet.
et Ban ing: Instant transfer of money across the globe is possible using computers or mobile devices
and the internet. The statement of account, e-Passbook, account balance, etc. can be viewed and printed
through et Banking.
Cash ithdra al Deposit: Money can be withdrawn or deposited (24 ) through ATMs or KIOSKs
connected to the computer network of a bank.
