ABSTRACT
Learners must complete the course in which they have enrolled, for which they should be motivated through means like credits and low-cost options. Efforts must be made to decrease the dropout rates and enhance learning levels among those that are enrolled. A proposal of a flexible online degree framework through Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds (SWAYAM) or any other approved online platform was undertaken. The policy includes flexibility in the process involving course enrolment, learning, evaluation and outcome leading to highly flexible online degrees. The undertaken research is carried out at various levels to identify the challenges related to online learning. The identified challenges are then mapped to the online learning offered by SWAYAM application. The insights are the gaps that could be bridged by extending the functionality of the SWAYAM application to offer online degrees, especially Masters degrees in Engineering and Management.
