The recent MHRD policy initiatives and regulations and frameworks of Higher Education Regulatory and Accreditation Bodies, such as Action Plan 17-by-17, UGC Online Education Regulations (2018), A Guide to Student Induction Programme (2018), NAAC Accreditation Value Framework have made it mandatory for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to (i) integrate technology for improving access to quality education; (ii) deliver 'e-Learning Material' (eLM) through the LMS; (iii) engage students through the LMS in active learning etc.

Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment), a popular Open Source Learning Management System (LMS) facilitates educational institutions to administer online / blended learning courses. It provides more choices for teachers in course design, content delivery, tracking learning progress, student evaluation, grading and providing feedback. It allows students access resources in a variety of media, engage in active and collaborative learning, interact with teachers and peers, submit assignments & quizzes online, self-check progress and view grades online.

LMS aims to:

• Provide a flexible teaching-learning platform for providing 24 X 7 access to learning resources and activities and learning support beyond classroom.

• Enable faculty members create re-usable eContent in multimedia, administer eAssessments, interact and communicate with students synchronously and asynchronously; and engage students in learning interactions.

• Provide students access to eContent created by Faculty, iBooks1(eight in Semester1 and five in Semester 2) and Case-based Learning Guides (developed by IBS CRC).

• Engage students in self-learning, collaborative learning, self-assessment and peer assessment.

• Test students’ English Language Proficiency.

• Push alerts and notifications to students through e-mail and Moodle mobile app.
