the educational sector, is the most preferred educational platform in the
sector today. Educational technology is not just restricted to high technology.
Electronic educational technology, also called e-learning, has become an
important part of society today, comprising an extensive array of digitization
approaches, components and delivery methods.
The Executive Dean of TAU, Dr.

called as BRICS).
BBRRIICCSS is a uniquely designed teaching learning
activity designed for the Distance Learning Program. BRICS includes course
materials uploaded in our exclusive learning platform, video lectures,
E-resource, Open source ware, Podcast & Forum discussion. Students also
receive constant faculty support throughout the course.
Through BRICS, students will get
Intense and continuous faculty support; Modular based curriculum, which focuses
on the core; Competency and skills; PPT for every Sub topics will be developed
by the faculty members; 24X7 days support provided by the Student Coordinator; Participation
in forum; Continuous and weekly assessment; Easy assessment mechanism and
continuous feedback from the faculty members; Completion of a block in 8 weeks.
Using this Model it was observed
that, the learning outcome was more than 85% as judged by the students
themselves and more than 93% have agreed to recommend their friends to study
with TAU and as well as the retention rate of the students was about 95% when
compared to that of other countries [United states -64%, Germany – 72%, United
Kingdom-84%, France- 55%].
BRICS is a comprehensive model
which includes technology and learning methodology to make learning effective
and long lasting. TAU believes that any university intending to optimize the
learning of the students and as well as retain 95% of the students throughout
the course may opt to BBRRIICCSS teaching learning model.
