About the Course:
Department of Educational Technology is proudly announcing its First Online Course in Instructional Design.
It is observed that the process of learning in twenty-first century is gearing toward Open and Distance learning. Immense and fast track development in Information Technology has made it easier to fulfill this movement. Many Universities and Educational Organizations are offering online courses and programs. This has led to the need for Instructional Designers who will plan online instruction in the most effective and efficient way.
