Delhi University (DU) is facing criticism from faculty regarding its proposal to allow credit-based courses via online platforms such as Study Webs of Active Learning for Young Aspiring Minds (SWAYAM) and other massive open online courses (MOOCs). Faculty members argue that this initiative, set to be discussed in the Academic Council (AC) meeting on April 15, could adversely affect learning outcomes and undermine the traditional teaching process. Anumeha Mishra, an assistant professor at the Faculty of Law, described the proposal as an attack on critical academic culture, emphasizing the importance of physical interactions in education. Latika Gupta, another faculty member, pointed to the lack of adequate infrastructure, including teaching staff and classrooms, as a driving factor behind the shift towards online courses. Additionally, the AC will review a proposal for a Semester Away Programme (SAP) to enhance global exposure for undergraduate students under the Undergraduate Curriculum Framework 2022.
