Key questions which drive our philososphy
Our guiding principles and anchors
We follow 'the A B C D E F' model towards problem solving
Analyse
The first step is to study the macro variables and break them down into smaller, simpler variables in order to have a holistic understanding of the area and also identify focus areas for subsequent deep dive
Feedback
Each lap of a learning journey ends with the consolidation of different areas of strength and inputs for further development as well as drafting a personalized & customized roadmap for the learner for the next lap
Brainstorm
Once we have an overview of the macro and the micro, we focus on deep-diving on these various factors and simultaneously discussing and finalizing our guiding philosophy and modus operandi
Evaluate
Assessment and recalibration go hand in hand with the learning journey and are integral activities for strengthening the effectiveness of the learning exercise by providing qualitative and quantitative data
Co-create and Curate
Post finalization of the need and the subsequent curriculum, we work on designing and assimilating content from different sources, ensuring alignment with the delivery and evaluation models and the learners' needs
Deliver
Next step is to engage with the learners, working together for an enhanced learning experience, balancing between the different modes for delivery - Face-to-Face and Online tools and methodologies
Our approach towards creating learning solutions
Our approach towards curriculum design
Using the inputs from various sources,
India's requirements
Global best practices
Existing literature
Research work
Needs of the learners
we have designed a holistic framework which has been carefully crafted to ensure all needs of Indian students are taken care of.
Three pillars of our curriculum are as follows:
Discover-I
Areas where the individual needs to focus on within himself / herself
i.e. intra-personal
We-Learn
Areas where the individual needs to focus on how he / she interacts with other individuals
i.e. inter-personal
World is a Family
Areas where the individual needs to focus on how he / she interacts with other stakeholders
i.e. beyond humans
Our approach towards program design
-
How will we create an integrated framework which connects content to delivery?
-
How will we institutionalize a sustainable model which ensures effectiveness?
-
How will we design learning journeys where ‘man and machine’ work seamlessly?
How?
-
Why should we discontinue usage of traditional methods and not adapt and evolve?
-
Why should we discourage blatant ‘lift and shift’ of ‘western philosophies & frameworks’
-
Why should we create a model which brings together all stakeholders for the greater good?
Why?
-
What are 21st century skills - the definition & meaning of these competencies for us?
-
What is the relevance of these skills to the Indian context and the future?
-
What are the optimum curriculum and pedagogy models we should use?
What?
In order to conceptualize our programs, we started identifying the key questions
which helped us to structure and finalize our pillars for program design and delivery
Re-defining 21st century skills for Indian context
Learning experiences and journeys - curriculum and pedagogy
Face-to-Face and online - effective and sustainable delivery model
Collaborative and inclusive partnerships
How are our programs delivered?
We have blended together the effectiveness of face-to-face learning with the power of online learning tools to create a hybrid model of learning experience
Face to Face
Learning happens in the presence of an instructor
Digital
Learning happens with the usage of technological solutions
Closed group
Open group
Self paced
Scheduled
Our logo - story behind the name & design
The core idea behind this endeavor is to create learning journeys and experiences for all demographic cohorts – right from Baby Boomers to Gen Alpha
"What's in a name?"
"What's in a name?"
Three dashes between ‘a’ and ‘z’ stand for the 3 other demographic cohorts – Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y in addition to Gen Alpha and Gen Z
Learning for everyone
Learning for everyone
Learning is the foundation on which the development of an individual is centered upon, and hence has been placed at the roots of our existence
The roots
The foundation
Different sizes of the word ‘learning’ represent our acknowledgement of the different types of learners and their different learning styles
Personalized for you
Personalized for you
Another reason for using ‘A to Z’ connotation for our name is to indicate our design philosophy of providing ‘end to end’ learning journeys
