FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK

Padma Bhushan Dr. S. B. Mujumdar President and Founder, Symbiosis

Chancellor, Symbiosis International University

Distance learning is the education of the 21st century. The

traditional method of teaching in a classroom, called brick

and mortar education, has failed to reach millions of those

who are thirsty for getting knowledge, in an age marked by

Knowledge Revolution. Distance education and open

learning fulfill this need.

Symbiosis, which is always on the vanguard of making bold

innovations, has established Symbiosis Centre for Distance

Learning (SCDL) to offer different academic programs

through distance education. The Symbiosis Centre for

Distance Learning (SCDL) is a centre of excellence offering

quality distance education. I am sure those who aspire to

acquire education at a time and place of their choice will be

immensely benefited and will be qualified to fill posts of

their choice with credit and confidence. I wish the Centre

success.

Dr. S. B. Mujumdar was conferred Padma Bhushan in

2012 for his significant contribution to the field of

Literature and Education by Her Excellency Smt.

Pratibha Patil, President of India.

In 2005, he was conferred Padma Shree by His

Excellency A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, the then President of

India for his contribution to the field of education.

Symbiosis 42 years of Excellence in Education

Founded by visionary Padma Bhushan Dr. S. B. Mujumdar in

1971 as an International Cultural and Educational Centre,

Symbiosis provides a 'home away from home' to a large

number of students including foreign students who come

to Pune in pursuit of higher education. Living up to its

name, which is a botanical term meaning 'living together

for mutual benefit', Symbiosis has grown over the past two

decades into a family of more than 43 academic

institutions, providing education from Kindergarten to Post

Graduation.

Today, Symbiosis is ranked 5th in country and is known in

India and abroad as one of the best educational institutes

imparting quality education in various fields such as

Management, Law, Computers, Health Care, Arts and

Commerce. In 2002, the Ministry of Human Resource

Development, Government of India conferred the “Deemed

to be a University” status to Symbiosis. The National

Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) has

accredited Symbiosis International University (SIU) with an

'A' grade.

I gladly admit that the program has provided necessary insights into management principles

applicable to the business world. Being a banker dealing with high value advances to medium

POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN (PGDID)

Instructional design is the process of converting information into

enriching learning modules, using established learning theories. It

is a systematic process that involves analysing learner profiles and

training needs, organising information according to established

standards and creating learning plans and content to achieve

specific goals. Traditional training methodology focuses on a

predominantly one-way transfer of information. The theories of

instructional design, however, focus on a result-oriented learning

approach in which the users are able to achieve specific goals in a

given environment. It is primarily used to develop computer-

based and web-based content.

The PGDID program provides basic theoretical and practical skills

needed to design, deliver and evaluate courseware. Students

explore the theories of Instructional Design through reading,

viewing e-learning modules and practical applications. The

program aims at the acquisition of professional qualification in

Instructional Design as well as self-enrichment and improvement

of job-related skills.

POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN PRE-PRIMARY TEACHERS' TRAINING (PGDPTT)

In recent years, there is an increasing demand for qualified

personnels to work with young children, in pre-primary schools.

Not all pre-primary schools, however, are run by trained teachers

who know how to best facilitate learning in young children. This

program is designed to reduce the gap between the available and

demanded competencies in this field. It equips teachers with the

knowledge of various teaching aids and classroom management.

The practice teaching session gives them practical exposure.

This program is not only meant for candidates who aspire to teach

at the Pre-Primary level, but also for in-service teachers in this

profession who want to upgrade their skills and qualification.

Knowledge of various aspects of child education is also perfect for

mothers who want to teach their children at home. It gives a

direction to those who would like to open a pre-primary school.

This program aims to prepare individuals to:

• Understand the needs and cognitive development of children.

• Understand child psychology, especially that of young children

in the age group of 3-6 years who would be stepping out of the

familiarity of their homes for the first time.

• Recognise the healthy physical and mental developmental

patterns in a young child.

• Decode a child's learning style, which is essential for ensuring

that what is being taught within the classroom is absorbed by

the child with minimum exertion.
