Developing an alternate, structured means to conduct classes during home confinement amidst a pandemic, the Lucknow University has been granted the first trademark and copyright authority over SLATE in a century. The Vice-Chancellor Professor A.K. Rai said, "This is for the first time in the 100 years' history of Lucknow University that a copyright has been registered in the name of the institution."

"The online mode of teaching emerged as a good option during lockdown but it does not offer a complete solution" added Professor AK Rai. With the advent of this pandemic, a lot of institutions were faced with the problem of initiating online classes due to lack of infrastructure. "The online mode of teaching emerged as a good option during lockdown but it does not offer a complete solution" Rai said. With this portal, any educational institution can adopt SLATE, providing royalty to the university of Lucknow and upgrade their teaching apparatus with the establishment of a combination system.

The Vice-Chancellor pointed out that, "The need of the hour is a 'hybrid system' - a combination of online and on-campus education. Lucknow University has decided to go ahead with the hybrid system even after COVID-19 subsides because the content can also be delivered to students in remote areas."
