SWAYAM
Swayam is an online education platform launched by the Indian government in 2017. It aims to provide online courses from school to postgraduate level. Swayam coordinates with various organizations like AICTE, UGC, IGNOU to deliver courses. The platform uses a four quadrant approach including e-tutorials, e-content, web resources, and self-assessment. Swayam's goal is to develop 2000+ courses and 80,000 hours of learning material to establish an interactive online learning platform for students.

SWAYAM: Rendezvous Quality Education and Life Long Learning The Gandhigram Rural Institute (Deemed to be University)
SWAYAM is a government-sponsored initiative aimed at achieving the three
cardinal principles of education policy: access, fairness, and quality. The goal of this
initiative is to make the greatest teaching and learning tools available to everyone,
especially the most disadvantaged. SWAYAM aims to close the digital divide for
students who have been left behind by the digital revolution and are unable to
participate fully in the knowledge economy. This is accomplished using an in-house
created IT platform that allows anybody, anywhere, at any time to access all of the
courses taught in classrooms from 9th grade to post-graduation.The UGC announced
this in a gazette notification in July 2016.Essentially, this platform has evolved
through four quadrant approaches: video lectures, specifically prepared reading
material that may be printed, self-assessment quizzes, and finally, discussion forums
for more clarifications. The massive open online course, which is a methodology for
distributing learning content to a huge number of individuals online, is hosted on
this platform. This paper deals with journey of SWAYAM, scope, benefits, and

A MOOC is a free online course designed for large numbers of students from various geographic locations. They integrate social networking, online resources, and are facilitated by experts. MOOCs allow for self-organized participation based on learning goals and interests. Key advantages include no tuition fees, exposure to top professors, open access, and global collaboration. However, they can enable dropping out and limited feedback or real-world engagement due to large class sizes. Cloud-based learning delivers online education resources virtually via web-enabled devices, increasing flexibility, collaboration, accessibility via mobile devices, while reducing costs through an on-demand model where users only pay for what they use.

Automated System for Cognitive Presence Coding
The researchers propose building an automated system to code discussion messages for levels of cognitive presence, which is one component of the Community of Inquiry framework. Existing Community of Inquiry coding schemes are too crude, labor-intensive, and cannot be used in real-time. The researchers have begun developing a support vector machine text classifier to code cognitive presence, achieving a Cohen's Kappa of 0.42. Their plan is to improve the classifier using additional features and evaluate it on a massive open online course dataset. The system would enable broader, faster, and cheaper adoption of the Community of Inquiry framework for research and learning analytics.

This document summarizes research on analyzing data from MOOCs. It discusses:
1. Clustering analysis identified three clusters of MOOC participants based on similar profiles and answers. One cluster may be a target for increasing participation.
2. Social network analysis was also used, identifying clusters based on relationships between similar participant profiles.
3. Extended profiles of participants were created looking at motivations, prior MOOC satisfaction, and other attributes to better understand participant backgrounds.
4. Preliminary findings identified groups of participants that may be targets for increasing retention and completion rates in future MOOCs based on their profiles.
