Yes, online learning will continue even after the lockdown is lifted. Once the lockdown on educational institutions is lifted by the Govt. of India, classroom learning will resume. However, those students who are unable to visit the campus, will have the option to continue online learning. Online classes have been a part of our pedagogy since five years. Pearl Academy is a pioneer in online learning in fashion, design, contemporary media and creative business education in India. The existing courses have been augmented with a focus towards creating better opportunities and all-round development of our students. These courses include collaborative online learning to enrich the overall learning experience of tomorrow’s graduates.
Leveraging the digital learning expertise, Pearl integrated the ‘Blended Learning’ pedagogy five years ago in its teaching practice. The pedagogy encompasses effective teaching and learning practices from both face-to-face and online delivery. This enables students to:
Access sections of their course modules (topics that have been online) anytime anywhere.
Collaborate online through discussion forums and wiki submit assignments.
View faculty feedback etc. achievement of the Academy’s mission and strategic plans at corporate and centre levels.
This will ensure continuous learner engagement even beyond the classroom hours and will enable them to drive their individual learning experiences.
Students who are unable to visit the campus, online learning sessions will continue for them.
