award-winning Learning Management System. Further, IIDEA also

program for its learners.
In its near 7 years of existence, Upside Learning has successfully
helped various educational institutes and universities across the
globe to deliver distance education programs. This has been brought
about by UpsideLMS. For IIDEA's distance learning
requirements, UpsideLMS was designed and developed
in line with guidance and norms provided by Distance Education
Council (DEC). DEC is a statutory body and a national-level council
for technical education under Department of Higher Education,
Ministry of Human Resource Development, India.
For IIDEA's distance learning requirements, apart from traditional
eLearning tools, UpsideLMShas been designed to
incorporate social learning components so as to add an extra edge
to learning. The system provides the learner a platform, allowing
them to experience close to physical college environment by
offering the right mix of study material, online courses and
assessments. Social learning tools like Briefcase, Blog and Chat
enable learners to interact with each other and the faculty members
on a variety of topics, and in the process create a permanent
knowledge repository useful in future.
Due consideration has been given to IIDEA's special requirements
for its Diploma programs. The programs have been designed to
reflect the desired structure and flow. Additionally, multi-level
assessment is a unique facility provided to ensure accurate skill
check. Appearing at lesson level as well at subject level, this
double check ensures proper understanding of the subject matter by
the learner.
"We are pleased to be associated with IIDEA for third year in a
row. Our partnership strongly reflects the mutually beneficial
journey we have had and our commitment to take this forward as we
grow." said Amit Gautam, Director of Technology Solutions at Upside
Learning. "Developing a distance education platform which adheres
to DEC guidelines is unique and reinstates Upside Learning's stand
as a flexible learning solutions provider." he added.
