ABSTRACT
The present work is an attempt to assess the Physico-chemical parameters of the Dharamsagar Thanda Pond, Kunchavaram, Chincholi Taluk, Kalaburagi District,
Karnataka State, India. To determine suitability of the water for human consumption and other domestic uses. Monthly water samples are collected from different
places of the Dharamsagar Thanda Pond were observed, which is 586 meters above the sea level and Latitude-17°31'48.55"N Longitude- 77°32'19.24"E. The present
investigation was focused to carry out Atmosphere and Water Temperature, Total dissolved solids, pH, Dissolved oxygen, CO2, Alkalinity, |Hardness, Calcium,
Chloride, Phosphate and BOD were observed. The obtained results revealed that the condition of this Pond in different months during the study period shows
fluctuations in the physic-chemical parameters and showed pollution status of this Pond. It was found that the water samples collected from various sites in and
around Dharamsagar Thanda village was contaminated. All sampling sites showed physicochemical parameters above the water quality standards and the quality of
water is not good and it is not fit for drinking purpose.

MODELS OF ONLINE LEARNING COURSES: where in the world. This is an especially important consideration for students
who wish to study in a different country. It doesn't matter where a student lives
and what he wants to study- he can always find a suitable course or even a Degree
Program that can be followed from home. Students learning options are not con-
strained by their geographic location.
Personalised Learning:
Online Learning system enables a student to determine and process his/her learn-
ing style, content, aim, current knowledge and individual skills. Therefore, per-
son -specific education could be provided through creating individual learning
styles. E-Learning enables the individual to plan and direct his/her own learning.
It has the potential to motivate, develop confidence and self-esteem, overcome
many barriers that learners encounter, personalize the learning experience,
widen access and improve the learning experience, while also helping people to
develop their ICT skills.
