IGNOU Chennai Learning Methodology

  • Self-instructional printed material - The learners are given printed study materials (written in a self-instructional style) for the theory and practical portions of the courses in the form of a single print book and e-book that is divided into blocks and units or in the manner of separate printed blocks for each course.
  • Audio-visual material aids - The university-produced audio and video courses in the learning package are intended to improve comprehension of the course material being taught to the students.
  • Counselling sessions - The Learner Support Centres typically create a schedule for counselling sessions. Most are held outside the host institutions' usual business hours because that is where the Learner Support Centres are. However, face-to-face counselling must not be held if few students are enrolled in a program.
  • Practicals - Some programs might include practical or project components depending on the learning goals. Practical sessions are held at certain institutions, and the Learner Support Centres will give a calendar for them. Sessions with a practical component must be attended.
