Educational material

We had the mind-expanding experience of working with Simova, a Distance Learning institution based in Bangalore. Simova's focus is on collateral educational programmes based on the Liberal Arts.

We created the concepts and curriculum for a course in Futuristics, an emerging discipline that studies the future in a systematic, scientific way to provide a framework for planning and decision making—at the personal, professional and organisational level. We created and developed the course architecture, undertook wide-ranging research and wrote all the course material. The end result was five slim volumes of original course material, preceded by a booklet on Distance Learning…and how to be an effective Distance Learner

A student first receives Learning to Learn, which serves as an orientation course. It explains the theory and practice behind enlightened distance learning…and shows what it takes to be a successful learner in today's world.
