With the outbreak of the worldwide Pandemic of COVID 19, it becomes a challenge for the university to continue with academic activities. The Assam Kaziranga University, who served as a torch-bearer of the technology-enhanced education system, not only in north-east but also across India started using Google Classroom, Zoom online and YouTube live as alternated /additional medium for uninterrupted teaching-learning. KU has also created a virtual platform in AWS Cloud to conduct IT-based lab assignments. Now Kaziranga University tied up with Coursera to provide online certification of professional courses. As a part of the collaboration, Coursera has approved 500 students and faculty subscription licenses for 6 months in Phase 1 (typical Coursera subscription fee in India is 1449/- per month). Coursera has provided a customized portal for Kaziranga University which can be accessed at
