Abstract

A learner on an atoll in the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean can learn a subject of her / his choice online, provided s/he has access to a computer, Internet and other wireless communication tools. A vast variety of online platforms are now available to meet the diverse needs of learners. In this chapter, the authors have discussed how open education in general and online education in particular has performed the role of transformative learning in India. They have also discussed various aesthetical and purposive issues addressed by online learning environments to create an egalitarian society.
