What Is An Effective Learning Environment 

An effective learning environment is a diverse platform where the students can engage and interact along with learning a multitude of new skills through different mediums and approaches. There are an array of ways through which teaching and learning are presented as opposed to a traditional classroom. A learning environment is a psychological and physical space of which the elements such as classrooms, furniture, materials, technology, and other resources are a part. The different social dynamics include teacher, instructor, students etc.

Importance Of An Effective Learning Environment 

Developing a positive learning environment for PGDM is one of the most innovative and crucial aspects. 

The learning environment is a broader term that comprises:

• Learning and teaching goals
• Activities that support learning
• Assessment strategies that drive and measure learning
• A culture that directly infuses a learning environment

A positive learning environment is highly conducive to gaining knowledge, new skills, upgrading skills, getting creative and increasing confidence.

Establishing Connectedness 

At Vignana Jyothi Business School, we truly believe in the sense of connectedness, and a learning community should have the feeling of connectedness as a supportive learning culture helps students contribute to vital issues. 

For this, a proper support system of Clubs & Committees for the students is developed to provide them with the required assistance whenever needed. The idea behind this is to 

• To assist students with similar interests and talents. 
• To give students a chance to develop social attributes.
• To encourage students to participate in the democratic process.
• To develop leadership qualities.

Students use this platform to support fellow members, address concerns, and express their ideas and opinions about various topics.
