Project Topic and Motivation

Ira is an e-learning platform. Name of the platform Ira comes from the name of Hindu goddess Saraswati (Goddess of wisdom and knowledge). Using this platform, instructors can share their knowledge with the world without worrying about the difficulties involved in hosting a platform of their own. On the other hand, students can learn at their own pace, have lifetime access to the courses, select courses from the plethora of available options, and can gain knowledge about wide range of topics as per their interests.
