Certificate from IGNOU after Successful Completion
Today technology plays a key role in knowledge creation and sharing, and it is no longer possible to visualise educational settings that do not include technology. Further, on one hand technology is enabling self-learning, and on the other hand, it is supporting mass education. It is also improving the quality of education and empowering learners. Therefore, international organisations like the UNESCO, the Commonwealth of learning, as well as governments of many nations including India are upholding the need to integrate technology into educational processes. Teacher and trainers therefore need to be prepared for this. In response to this demand the programme, the Post Graduate Diploma in Educational Technology (PGDET) is offered. It prepares teachers, trainers, educational managers and those associated with the development of educational software for educational processes that require technology integration.
