After being rejected by Drona, Ekalavya the famous character from Mahabharata epic learns archery in the presence of a clay image of Drona. Of course, this way of learning might be far-fetched for us but there’s a point. You can also become Ekalavya, the E-learner.

The surge of internet technology has made quality knowledge accessible to each and every user within a few smart search entries and clicks. There are n-mumber of ways to learn while you use the internet or use the internet to learn and in the process enhance your expertise or gain an insight into a new field of knowledge.

Videos, articles in pdf, powerpoint and flash animations are the resources which might have been used by Ekalavya (just kidding!). In a serious note, what do you need from a classroom lecture?

You get all the stuff you need to know through internet, then why go to the lecture hall?

Ever since, Youtube was acquired by Google, it has went through changes. One of the recent additions is, YouTube EDU.

Everybody dreams to study at Howard, Stanford, Carnegie mellon, Cambridge, IIT. However, the competition to get in such colleges or universities is extremely fierce. YouTube EDU brings to you 45,000 videos from over 20 top universities in nine countries with academic lectures, public talks and college life from universities including Cambridge University, The Open University, (UK), INSEAD, (France),Bocconi University (Italy), Open University of Catalonia, (Spain) University of Gronigen (The Netherlands), Moscow State University (Russia) – in addition to the 200 US universities already on the site.

The international version now includes a drop-down menu to filter content based on language of choice. For example, select French and find content from HEC in Paris and also the French-Canadian University of Montreal, or set to ‘All’ to browse videos in all languages.

As all Google features, the user experience can be personalised, through your history of videos seen through YouTube EDU.

Now, go and learn something and become the next Ekalavya!
