DELIVERY SYSTEMS

The methodology of instruction in this University is different from that of the conventional Universities. The Open University System is more learner-oriented and the student is an active participant in the teaching-learning process. Most of the instruction is imparted through distance rather than face-to-face communication. The University follows a multimedia approach for instruction. It comprises :

  1. Print Material : The printed material of the programme is supplied to the students in batches of blocks for every course (on an average of 5 blocks per course). A block which comes in the form of a booklet generally comprises 3 to 5 units.

  2. Audio-Visual Material Aids : The learning package contains audio and video cassettes which have been produced by the University for better clarification and enhancement of understanding of the course material given to the student. A video programme is normally of 25-30 minutes duration. The audio tapes are run and video cassettes are screened at the study centres during the hours of the counselling session. The video programmes in Management Studies are telecast on DD-I (Doordarshan) every Saturday at 6.00 a.m. Some of the selected stations of All India Radio also broadcast the audio programmes. Students can confirm the broadcast schedule for the programmes from their study centres. The information is also provided through the National Newspapers and IGNOU Newsletters sent to the student regularly.

  3. Counselling Sessions : Normally, counselling sessions are held as per a schedule drawn before hand by the Study Centre Coordinator. They are held on weekends, that is, Saturday and Sunday. There will be 6 counselling sessions of 21/2 hours duration for each course in face to face mode, apart from telecounselling sessions at Gyan Darshan-II, as per pre-announced schedule.

  4. Interactive Radio Counselling : The University conducts live phone-in-programmes through various stations of All India Radio. Schedule of these phone-in-programmes would be available at study centres.
