Teaching/Learning Methodologies:
This course scaffolds learning by providing students with opportunities to review and activate prior knowledge (e.g. reviewing concepts related to domain of business and accounting), and build off of this knowledge to acquire new skills. The course guides students toward recognizing opportunities to apply knowledge they have gained and try to apply them in daily life for better understanding. This course connects the concepts taught to real-world situation like running businesses currently in the market. Through the use of real time modeling, the course represents various ways to demonstrate understanding, poses questions that require students to use different depictions as they are working at each level of conceptual development and allows individual students the time they need to solidify their understanding at each conceptual stage. Through the use of interactive activities (e.g. multiple choice quizzes and drag-and-drop activities) students receive instantaneous feedback and are able to self- assess their understanding of concepts. A few of the things students will be provided are the following:
- Lesson plans
- PowerPoint presentations
- Videos
- Reading Packs
- Assignment for Learning
- Assessment of Learning
- Quiz
All of these are a cluster of downloadable and embedded files that will be provided to each candidate with the progression of the course.
E-Learning Approach:
E-learning is not only a training method but it is a learning method that is tailored to individuals. It is found that different terminologies have been used to define learning that takes place online which actually makes difficult to develop a generic definition.
E-learning includes the delivery of content via Internet, Intranet, and Extranet, satellite broadcast, audio-video tape, interactive TV and CD-ROM. The term implies that the learner is at a distance from the tutor or instructor, that the learner uses some form of technology.
With attention to this new system of education that is spreading across the globe it’s imperative that the content of such study programs are enhanced and modified to serve both the learner and the instructor well whilst dealing with the gap of conventional studying methodologies. Thus the courses promise its reader an experience full of engagement, student-concentric approach, personalization and Interaction. Using a wide array of multimedia tools, cloud based LMS and diverse repository of subject tailored audio-visual material that student can utilize and learn in a stimulated work environment where he’s in charge of his work hours.
Our e-learners paddle through these courses in the mediation of skilled mentors to the finish line with understanding of their subject’s application into real world problems following a futuristic model of education.
