Visualization, animation, simulation etc. can provide enormous help in understanding,
particularly those concepts which are difficult to comprehend or imagine. This will add
value for both the student and the teacher by making the teaching process more
interesting thereby improving both the teaching and learning processes. The student
can grasp the knowledge faster and the teacher can convey the information with ease.
In the 1st phase, a sample chapter from Biology for class XI will be taken up where we
will develop a model for on line support to the curriculum. The present project will
adopt this model for the entire Sr. Secondary curriculum in Biology. The outcome
which will be in form of a linked set of web-based resource will be uploaded on the
NCERT website. The subject matter at the web sections will be interactive and seek
feed-back from the users.
4. Specific Objectives:
•
•
To identify and map digital resources to supplement the textbook
To develop an interactive forum for teachers and students to enrich the

The process involves identification of digital resources, mapping them with appropriate
concepts and integrating these resources into an online repository. The developed resources
will include
