Reward points are given to learners as they participate on the social learning platform, share knowledge, solve assignments and build a good network. It is mandatory for each staff member to create a course and ensure that all students join the course at the beginning of each semester. The teacher uploads all learning material, assignments, question banks and quizzes throughout the semester. This provides easy and quick access to each student. Even those who are on medical leave and cannot come to college can access the data and work towards the completion of the course. The teacher follows up with any student who has not responded to assignments/quizzes uploaded. An extensive notification system provides notification messages via smart phone, email and the website.
