Earlier TV was primarily used for entertainment purposes, watching news and sports, and some infotainment programmes. The scenario has changed over years. Now, TV is also very much used for many other purposes including education etc. There are exclusive channels for educational purposes. This helps educators in providing high quality education to masses.
Academic institutions, educators and students are immensely benefited with these channels. These channels hold virtual classrooms in which they show animated examples which sorts out subject ambiguity of students.
Educators and students were facing following problems with traditional TV systems:
- Educators and students cannot watch TV on their devices. They have to be glued to their traditional TV systems or install TV systems in their classrooms in advance to watch specific programmes.
- Some of the programmes are telecasted when students are attending their classes so they miss these informative classes.
- Students and educators are unable to watch the episodes or TV telecasting these educative channels, may be because they are located in a remote area where TV signal were interrupted because of satellite-dish connection.
- Students also miss their informative episodes because of rain, overcast sky, storms etc as they do not get access to these channels because the communication or transmission is either interrupted or unavailable.
- These educative channels hold lectures and classes in sequential manner hence missing one episode or episodes of a particular subject or topic puts learners in big problems as they struggle to understand the subsequent episodes after the missed episode.
