e-learningWhat is E-learning?
E-learning is the flagship segment of Ekonnect, which offers a flexible platform for learning rapidly, efficiently and in a holistic manner. Through E-learning at Ekonnect, you can upgrade your knowledge and skills at a time and pace suitable to you, and at a nominal cost.
Who is E-learning intended for?
E-learning is intended to supplement traditional classroom teaching and to provide additional benefit to:
- Environmental students
- Environmental professionals wishing to uprade their knowledge and skills
- Professionals from non-environmental backgrounds whose jobs demand that they become sensitive to environmental implications, but who cannot return to university
Why E-learning?
Current academic curricula in the environmental field tends to fall short on various aspects. Conventional methods of classroom based teaching are clearly deficient, in that there are serious identifiable gaps between theory and practice. Syllabi are not updated frequently enough to allow faculty to add on state-of-the-art aspects of learning. The lack of hands-on learning through internships means that students find it difficult to put their learning to good use in the field.
Additionally, environmental topics tend to be inter-disciplinary, constantly evolving and very diverse in spatial terms. It thus becomes imperative to structure a variety of bits and pieces of information in a structured format relevant to the environmental domain. This involves gathering of data for a specific environmental issue and distilling it into practically applicable knowledge. The situation also demands that learning captures location-specific issues, best done through networking among people from different geographical locations. Unfortunately, in the environmental domain, barring research and informed activism, networking hardly exists in the learning area.
Ekonnect’s E-learning is designed to make up for all these shortfalls.
What does E-learning offer?
As part of its title suggests, computer technology is the primary medium of instruction here. However, E-learning at Ekonnect is e-learning with a difference. Ekonnect not only refines, updates and distills conventional academic content but also imparts 'blended' learning through surround support such as group learning, peering, and mentoring. The constant interaction of students with a human interface in the form of environmental experts enhances the overall learning experience.
