Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Extract from the article:

In a strategic move, NMIMS has decided to replace its distance education courses with online programs after nearly two years. The university's technology platform will serve as the foundation for these online programs. The distance education offerings had been a significant revenue source for NMIMS.

 

However, due to regulatory restrictions, the university had to discontinue these programs and shift towards online education delivery.

 

This transition underscores the evolving landscape of education, where institutions are adapting to digital platforms to ensure continuous learning opportunities. By embracing online programs, NMIMS aims to enhance accessibility and flexibility for its students. The decision to move away from traditional distance learning models towards more interactive online programs showcases a proactive approach to meeting the changing needs of learners in today's digital age.

 

My Take:

1.   National Skills University: Virtual is the only way [03 Apr 2021]

 

"In my earlier communication, I emphasized the importance of virtual universities offering online courses to cater to a wider audience. The shift by NMIMS towards online programs aligns with the vision I had put forth. This move emphasizes the benefits of virtual learning environments in reaching diverse learners efficiently."

 

2.   Empowering MSME Sector Through Industry-based Courses [June 2017]

 

"The focus on industry-based courses by NMIMS resonates with the idea I proposed years ago about aligning educational offerings with market needs. By introducing courses like Mechatronics and 3D printing, NMIMS is following a path that aims to generate employment opportunities, echoing the essence of my earlier suggestions."

Call to Action:

To NMIMS Administration, As you continue to innovate in the realm of online education, it is crucial to maintain a balance between digital advancements and personalized learning experiences. Consider integrating practical components and interactive sessions into your online programs to ensure holistic skill development among your students.
