SGC Gharuan: Nursing College, Ayurveda College, Pharmacy College
The Covid-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes in the way higher education bodies design and deliver their courses with the adoption of digital technologies. This rapid redesign of learning techniques has become the kernel for today’s new academic model.
To achieve this and our primary objectives, the new model looks through five pillars:
We aim to bring together the design and delivery components of our educational offering to enable more inclusivity.
Access to experiences and a solid professional background, in addition to academic credentials
Strong communication and interpersonal interaction skills such as self-disclosure and humour, empathy and cultural sensitivity (or openness, concern, flexibility, and sincerity)
Be proactive, encourage feedback, and make adjustments as needed
Be technology savvy and understand technology affordances
Be comfortable communicating in writing
Understanding of module design principles (thus allowing control the flow of work in the learning space)
Understanding of facilitated learning over directive learning
Tutors will possess a range of skills to deliver the future The Saraswati Group of Colleges provision, whether in-person, blended, or online attendance.
As a leading Medical Group of Colleges, we are genuinely distinctive in what we do. We have a unique culture with an extraordinary offer to students, and academic staff; which makes us extremely attractive in a world where students and staff are seeking a fulfilling, productive and personalised experience.
We wish to focus on the quality of our work through continually raising standards and exceeding staff-student and partner expectations. To do so, we recognise all staff will require a mentor at some point in their career at The Saraswati group of colleges. Therefore, we promise to allocate a mentor to each member of staff to assist with developing knowledge, skills, and behaviour. Mentors will provide careers advice as well as direction as to how roles can be enhanced in the college.
We will inclusively use digital technologies to create an attractive and purposeful virtual space for our students, thus changing our learning, teaching and assessment into a Hybrid model for learning.
In maintaining our distinctiveness, we depend on our most valuable resource; our staff. Supporting our staff to offer dynamic and immersive learning, we rely on state-of-the-art technology and facilities. We will continue to maximize the use of our on-campus facilities where required within the in-person attendance or blended program.
The SGC’S digital journey continues to evolve through initiatives such as curricula-driven mobile applications.
This personalized digital experience acts as a springboard for widening participation, innovation, enterprise and partnership with our learners and their future employers.
Our priorities continue to focus on being recognized as the best College for teaching excellence and continuous improvement through our judicious use of creative and innovative teaching approaches.
In all that we do, we ensure our distinctiveness delivers outstanding teaching and fulfills our mission, vision, and values as a
