EduNxt (https://cas.smude.edu.in/cas/login?service=http://edunxt.smude.edu.in/)
EduNxt is the next generation learning system that fully takes advantage of modern teaching techniques to create a virtual classroom where students come together to learn from distinguished faculty and each other. EduNxt  makes it possible for students to collaborate on team-oriented learning tasks like assignments and case studies through audio, visual and IM aids.
EduNxt  makes it very easy for a student to self-learn, since self-motivation has always been a Distance Learning issue. Learners of the same course can, for example, chat with each other and faculty members in real time to clarify subject matter or read faculty blogs and comment on them. The concept of mentoring means faculty members will be available as guides to hold your hand through the lonely process of self-study.
