To ensure uninterrupted teaching, research and extension activities during the lockdown, the Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) has switched to digital platforms. Agricultural varsities are non-vacation institutions with academic, research and extension activities scheduled round-the-year. KAU Vice Chancellor R. Chandra Babu has directed all deans and heads of departments to switch over to e-learning mode to keep the academic environment active and engage students academically. All constituent colleges under the university have started hosting courses on KAU’s MOODLE platform (http://moodle.celkau.in/), maintained by the Centre for e-Learning of the University. Learning resources provided to students on MOODLE include texts, PDFs, power point presentations, pages, files, books, audio files, videos, web references and glossaries.
