Diploma at your convenience

Imagine a class with a large number of students sitting in mini studios spread across the country and an instructor imparting lessons from a central studio, through interfaces - PCs connected over a local area network to a satellite transceiver. Applying the Tibetan adage ''When the student is ready, the teacher shall arrive'' as a modus operandi, Directway Global Education (DWGE) provides an easy via-medium education through 35 all India centres blending traditional method of learning with the latest technology to bring the class room to students of all age groups.
Take the example of Doonite Sanjay Agarwal, CEO of his own firm Maple Orgtech.He is doing his PGCBM from XLRI. Directway provided him the opportunity to take on learning at a time slot convenient to him. Rahul Jain, Shipra Vatsa, Neha Goyal and Pooja Arora are all students who are doing a course of their own choice thanks to easy opportunity provided by Directway. In mini studio, students receive lectures from their instructors as well as interact with students from all across the country. At the end of their courses these students will receive degrees from different institutes.
Explains Susan Philips, centre director, "Using collaborative group learning, geographically dispersed students can have spontaneous interactive sessions with central instructors simultaneously using audio-visual training aids akin to a regular classroom. Thus the very concept of class education is redefined, retaining all its benefits and improving its reach. The benefit that accrue: universal availability within India and abroad, reduced cost of learning, no loss in productivity, reduced travel time, easy reachability, enhanced collective group learning and latest education technology. DWGE has a core of excellent in-house faculty, supplemented by distinguished visiting faculty from premier management institutions and from industry."
According to centre head S. Saha, "DWGE offers live and interactive sessions in 23 cities in India by one instructor simultaneously, by distance learning through a broad satellite technology mode. It has partnered with several premier universities and institutions globally and in India to bring the best in management education - be it certificate programmes, diplomas or degrees."
DWGE has standard full time programmes that could be taken by a client organisation for its employees and programmes with customised content. Thus working executives with diverse background can undergo a rigorous academic programme without interrupting their careers.
