Education portal 'Sakshat' to go interactive on R-Day

New Delhi, Jan 24 (UNI) As a Republic Day gift to students, Sakshat, a one stop education portal of the Ministry of Human Resource Development, will be made interactive on January 26.

Class XI and Class XII students of science, English, Accountancy, Economics and Business studies can consult experts in these subjects by logging on the site between 1700 to 2300 hours daily.

The facility is expected to reduce the stress level of students for the ensuing round of examinations, the Ministry said here today.

Students can access the interactive feature on urlhttp://www.sakshat.ac.in or http://www.sakshat.ignou.ac.in/sakshat/index.aspx or http://www.sakshat.gov.in by clicking on the column 'Interact' and 'selecting the option 'Talk to a Teacher'.This would open up subject-wise chat rooms.

The learner may enter a 'chat room' where he would be able to find various other students and teachers already logged in. The student can ask any question or clarify any doubt by typing it in the relevant box and sending it to the chat room.

Private chat with a teacher could also be used by students in case they feel that others may find their question funny or irrelevant.

Gradually, depending on the demand, the timings of availability of subject experts and the subject list could be expanded.
