Instructional
System
The
methodology of instruction in this University is different
from that of the conventional universities.
The Open University System is more ‘ learner centred ’
and the student has to be an active participant in the
teaching-learning process. Most of the instruction is
imparted through distance mode rather than face-to-face
communication.
The
University follows the multi-channel approach for instruction. It
comprises a suitable mix of :
* Self-instructional Printed material
* Audio and video cassettes
* Audio-Video programmes transmitted
through Radio and Doordarshan
* Face–to–face Contact Programme at
Study Centers by Academic Counselors
* Assignments
* Practice Teaching through Internship
Printed materials are
the primary form of instructional materials. These are supplied to the
students in the form of several books or blocks. The Printed materials
prepared by the University are self instructional in nature.
In addition to the print material,
Audio and Video tapes are being prepared for each course.
The audio-video materials are supplementary to print material.
Hence, they are to be used as and when they are available and it will
help you to understand subject matter better. These materials will not
besupplied individually to students. It will be made available at the
Study Centers. Students can listen or watch these programmes during
Contact Programmes.
The Contact Programme
is compulsory and shall consists of THREE Intensive Contact
Programmes of a total of 12 weeks duration. There will not be any
provision for re-enrolment. These Programmes will be organized in the
manner given below :
First Contact Programme
4 weeks April / May Study Centre based

4 weeks December / January School based
Third Contact Programme
4 weeks April / May Study Centre
based
Total
12 weeks
A student
shall be required to put in a minimum attendance of 80% of the total
duration of the Contact Programme (12 Weeks).
No Re-enrollment :
Any Candidate who fails to attend
the First Contact Programme within THREE days from the date of
commencement of the Contact Programme shall forfeit his/her seat. There
is no provision for re-enrollment for the subsequent year. Fee remitted
by such candidates will not be refunded. They have to seek admission
afresh through CET in the subsequent year.

Teaching and related assignments in each of the school subjects. Relevant
regulations governing the Practice Teaching will be detailed in the
Programme Guide. During the last contact programme students are required
to submit all the school-based assignments to the respective study
centers. The theory-based assignments are to be submitted to the study
centers before the commencement of the last Contact Programme and
necessary feed back may be obtained from the study center faculty.
Before the students attend the
Contact Programme they are advised to go through the study materials and
note down the important points to be discussed. Unless they have gone
through the print materials, there may not be much to discuss. Normally
these sessions will be held at the Study Centers during weekends as per
the schedule notified. The students may contact their study centers for
detailed schedules.
Assignments
are integral part of distance learning. The purpose of assignment is to
test the comprehension of the learning materials the students receive
from the University and also to help them comprehend better the courses
by providing feedback. The information given in the printed course
materials should be sufficient for answering the assignments. However,
students are advised to consult relevant reference materials for
completing their assignments.
Assignments constitute
continuous evaluation. The marks that the students get in their
assignments will be counted in their final result. For their own record,
they are advised to retain a copy of the assignment responses, which they
might submit to the study center co-ordinator. They are expected to
maintain an account of all these corrected assignments received by them
after evaluation. This will help them to represent their case to the
University in case they have any problem in this regard.
- Submission of assignment is
compulsory without which no student will be allowed to appear for the
term-end examination.
- If one appears in the term-end
examination, without submitting the assignments the result of the
term-end examination will be cancelled.
- All assignments should be submitted
at the Study Centers.
