The pandemic has pushed every educational institution to consider digital transformation seriously.
Going digital is no longer a question of “if” or “when” but “how”. A majority of the digital systems in Higher Ed address the enrolment management and administration aspects of the institutions. The teaching-learning experience has been predominantly restricted to physical classrooms. The pandemic, however, has forced institutions to move online – to teach, learn, and test online. Learning Design and Experience have thus moved to the center stage of digital strategy for educational institutions.

ONLINE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT (OPM)
Supporting your Digital Transformation Journey
Going online with the teaching-learning process is not an easy process- the following questions need to be tackled:
- Which platform should you choose?
- Does it integrate with your existing IT infrastructure?
- How can you train your faculty to be effective online?
- How will you roll out digital systems to your students?
If you need help with your digital journey, we can support you. With a decade of experience in online learning design and technologies, we bring global expertise in creating and deploying online learning.
Learning Design
Teaching in classrooms is very different from teaching online. Reworking the strategies for online teaching, adapting assignments for online submissions and grading, ensuring student engagement on online platforms, and adopting online assessments/exams are some of the things that we can support you with. Our team of instructional designers apply the principles of adult learning to ensure effective online deployment of learning.
Technology Consulting
From content management, to virtual classrooms, student tracking, online assignments, proctored exams and reports, institutions have multiple technology and tool choices that they need to make, as they move online. With our technology consulting services, we help colleges make the right decisions.
Staff and Faculty Training
Staff and faculty training is critical to making the move to online. Having classes online is not just about PowerPoint slides and web conferencing tools. Training on both technology and online learning design helps instructors be as effective online, as they are in a classroom.
FUTURE@WORK
Prepare your students for the future
Future@Work focuses on improving the employability of students. Employability of India’s youth has remained stagnant for the past three years, lingering around 46% of participants who are job-ready. Domain-wise, while BE/BTech has 49% employable talent, B. Com has 47% and MCA has 25%, according to the India Skills Report 2020. Future@Work will help students acquire specific job skills that will make them 100% employable.
Our vision is to provide hyper-customized training for emerging job roles at scale and speed to address the skills gap.
Hyper-customized: The training is focused on specific job skills - rather than a generic curriculum.
Emerging Job Roles: The maximum growth in jobs is happening in new and emerging job domains - we focus on these domains for skill development.
Scale and Speed: We adopt technology enabled training to reach a wider audience - faster and more effectively.
How do we do this?
Skill mapping
We have an AI-backed database of job roles and associated skills - and training is built to map to these skills. By mapping job roles to skills, and skills to training, we make the training both effective and efficient.
Practitioner-led training
Training is designed and delivered by Practitioners. With virtual classroom sessions, real life projects, and job-focused training, Practitioners ensure that learners get industry experience throughout the training.
Virtual Lab Infrastructure
With virtual lab infrastructure, learners experience simulated environments that mimic real life work environments - coupled with guided support. This gives learners the full experience of a work environment.
Localized Content
Currently, almost all content available online is in English, putting anyone with low English fluency at a disadvantage. By supporting content in local languages, Future@Work improves access to learning and employability of youth in non-urban areas.
Virtual Internships
Future@Work supports virtual internship programs that enable students to do internships remotely. Going virtual increases the internship opportunities for students and widens the talent pool for companies - a win-win for both.
