Educational Technology

Professor Vijay V Mandke is a Founding Professor and Mentor Professor at NIIT University (NU), since June 2009. He is engaged in developing knowledge in the field of Learning Engineering. Based on it, Prof Mandke is implementing research and postgraduate level programmes in Educational Technology (ET) in specialisation streams, namely, the Teaching-Learning Process Innovation (TLPI) for Teacher Professional Development (TPD) and Business Model Innovation (BMI) for Business Transformation and Professional Development (BTPD).

Over the last 12 and a half years, Professor Mandke has implemented an industry-connect based postgraduate (PG) level two-year MTech and PhD programmes in Educational Technology (ET). He has researched, designed, developed and implemented Learning Engineering (LE) knowledge-driven and driving-programmes for working (and preservice) school and college teachers and business supervisors.

These programmes comprise integrated work-learning courses such as Principles & Practices of Learning Engineering; Introduction to Experiential Learning; Reflection and Education; Mobile Learning & Its Applications; Learning Strategically; Advances in e-Learning; Communication as Digital Choreography; Integrity Learning System, etc.

In the process, he has impacted the pedagogic innovation of Industry-linked, work-learning integrating Pedagogic Integration Mechanism (PIM), which integrates realistic business work problem solving with realistic learning problem solving, the USP of the desired performance (i.e., performance futures) delivering enactive- and vicarious engagements incorporated classroom- and laboratory-teaching, and (which) is applicable for across PG, UG and school levels, further, extending into informal learning.
