OKCL’s Network Of Authorized Learning Centers (ALCs) – Expanding The Outreach
In order to facilitate such a large number of OS-CIT learners in various parts of the State, OKCL has established about 700+ Authorized Learning Centers (ALCs) and their authorized satellite learning centers under its unique partnership framework. This network is coordinated by District Lead Centers (DLCs). With the help of these ALCs and their satellites, OKCL offers its services with wider accessibility to the masses in metros, cities, semi-urban areas as well as rural, tribal and hilly areas of the state.
All these ALCs are equipped with state-of-the-art computing infrastructure on LANs with their own proxy servers backed up by OKCL’s formidable, scalable and secure server infrastructure in cloud with server virtualization and dynamic load balancing technologies. A total of about 6,700+ personal computers at ALC’s are equipped with state-of-the-art operating systems, antivirus software, application software and broadband internet connectivity. They are backed-up with inverters and/or diesel generators. Bio-metric fingerprint recognition devices have been deployed at all ALCs for learner identification-authorization-cum-attendance management. All the personal computers at all ALCs are also equipped with web-cameras for operationalizing the OKCL’s Black-Box System for enabling evidence-based learning and assessment management. All the personal computers at ALCs are also equipped with the good quality headphones for effective eLearning experience. Microsoft Licenses are regularly distributed free of cost to all ALCs.
