The objective of this effort is to take the best teaching learning resources to all, including the most disadvantaged. SWAYAM seeks to bridge the digital divide for students who have hitherto remained untouched by the digital revolution and have not been able to join the mainstream of the knowledge economy.
The courses hosted on SWAYAM are in 4 quadrants –
(1) video lecture,
(2) specially prepared reading material that can be downloaded/printed
(3) self-assessment tests through tests and quizzes and
(4) an online discussion forum for clearing the doubts.
Steps have been taken to enrich the learning experience by using audio-video and multi-media and state of the art pedagogy / technology.
In order to ensure that best quality content is produced and delivered, nine National Coordinators have been appointed. They are:

Eligibility for the certificate will be announced on the course page and learners will get certificates only if this criteria is matched. Universities/colleges approving credit transfer for these courses can use the marks/certificate obtained in these courses for the same.
Credit Transfer
UGC has already issued the UGC (Credit Framework for online learning courses through SWAYAM) Regulation 2016 advising the Universities to identify courses where credits can be transferred on to the academic record of the students for courses done on SWAYAM. AICTE has also put out gazette notification in 2016 and subsequently for adoption of these courses for credit transfer.

Advantages/Benefits of the Platform
Scalability: WizIQ’s scalable education platform powered by Microsoft Azure ensures that millions of educators and learners use the platform seamlessly.
Infinite Storage: WizIQ offers practically endless storage space, given the size of content (and in any format) uploaded for the mass consumption. SWAYAM users can upload content and forget about it without thinking about storage management.
Single Sign-on: WizIQ provides a single sign-on facility to learners enrolled in courses on SWAYAM by leveraging Azure Directory Services.
Content Access: SWAYAM administration doesn’t need to worry about the performance and consistency if traffic spikes.
Consistent Learning Experience: WizIQ deploys certain technologies to offer a consistent experience to SWAYAM users regardless of the traffic spike.
Search in Multiple Indian Languages: SWAYAM users can search in their mother tongue or local language apart from English. SWAYAM is the only platform offering relevant searches in multiple regional languages.
Features of the Platform
For Swayam, WizIQ created
Dashboards: WizIQ has developed a full-fledged learner and instructor dashboard. This is the default landing page of the learner-side interface. The dashboard gives a snapshot view of the learner calendar, recent conversations, and courses. A detailed dashboard has been created for the instructors with the clickable view of the calendar, courses live, enrolled students, assignments, recent conversations and discussions.
Course Builder Innovation: New Course Types – apart from the self-paced and scheduled courses such as the weekly reading list, articles, and invitation only courses. The section on course rating and reviews section gives a detailed view of the rating, required time to complete the course, credit information, course language, benefit, and teacher reviews. WizIQ has developed discussion boards where students can interact with fellow learners using filters like creator, tag filters, and following. The group discussion boards can be created by an instructor for discussion on a particular topic. This gives insights into student activities and how they construct responses.
Videos: Another exciting feature is of adding captions/subtitles to videos incorporated for multi-linguistic and non-native English speakers in 9 different languages.
Tests and Assignments: In the Tests and Assignment section, the options for flexible assignment grading criteria and auto-graded assignments based on marks awarded are added. Mandatory pre and post-course surveys are integrated into the platform to ensure the effectiveness of courses available. Tests can be graded manually, and grading can be customized as the instructor desires.
Awarding certification: Upon completion of a course and payment of nominal fees, the learner is eligible to get a completion certificate
Paperless Grievance Redressal Mechanism: No online education platform other than SWAYAM has a built-in grievance redressal feature which allows students to ‘raise a ticket’ if they have any issues or are not satisfied with any course.
