Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, has built a state-of-the-art e-studio for recording official lectures and digital educational content provided by professors, industry specialists, and invited guests.
Sanctioned under Rashtriya Uchchatar Siksha Abhiyan (RUSA), the lab will be primarily used for recording NPTEL courses, online diploma degrees, and web-based structural lectures, besides creating podcasts.
Vice-Chancellor Prof. Tata Narasinga Rao formally inaugurated the facility in the presence of Registrar Prof. M. Bhupathi Naidu and RUSA coordinators. The facility has a virtual production studio, AR-VR studio, podcast studio with high-bandwidth video conferencing, lecture capture systems and acoustic treatment designed to stream and record the engineering lectures live.
Prof. Narasinga Rao also visited the Centre of Excellence in Bioenergy Innovations on the campus to watch a demonstration on the newly-installed BET Surface Area Analyser.
