Learning: The SRHU Philosophy
_______________________________
SRHU strongly believes that teaching and learning are two key ingredients of the modern education system. Learning is a continuous process that continues inside and outside the classroom. MOOC, Online learning empowers the learner to continue the learning process at any time/place as per his/her convenience. Another challenge with MOOC, online learning is abundant and at times excessive unverified gullible materials available on the internet. This leaves serious leaners muddled and diverts the attention. Proctored online methods make targeted leaning very effective and reduce the time spent to achieve learning goals.
SRHU aims to extend classroom teaching to any time online learning and extending faculty-student interaction outside the classroom. SRHU Learning® is an initiative to offer online eLearning in web and mobile platform to all students of the university.
