Up to the last century, teachers and their lecture notes were the only resources available for the learning community. Some of the reference books, publications, and research manuscripts available in the libraries in the form of hard copies, stencils, photo copies, hints, manual written scripts, etc made the learning process more difficult.

These resources can be easily accessed by anyone from any place and at any time. Hence the task of bringing the learners to the class rooms made tedious. The responsibilities put on the shoulders of the teaching community apart from teaching-learning process are also increasing exponentially. If the digital resources were effectively used with the support of smart class rooms, the teaching learning process will be a fruitful system with multiple benefits to all stake holders.
