Osmosys Learning products and services develops core competencies in three new wave learning segments

Brain based teaching & learning

Active learning through technology

&

Academic enhancement through Quality Management.

Brain-based Learning
The human mind is recognized as the universe beyond complete discovery.95% of all that has ever been known about the physiological workings of the brain has been discovered in the last ten years.
The theory of Neural Plasticity states that experiences early in life shape the wiring (axon to dendrite circuits) of the rapidly developing brain and absence of certain experiences tends to allow weakening or even disappearance of certain circuits that are not developed through use. This means that by continually stretching ourselves, over time we can develop new skills and develop our own personal intelligence mix.
Research on the human brain and emerging theories on human intelligence and how learning happens are redefining psycho-pedagogy. Some significant emerging
concepts are:
Differentiated Teaching
Whole brain development
Brain-based teaching and evaluation
A new understanding of right brained children
Multiple intelligences


Brain based learning has the nervous system and the brain as the physical foundation of the human learning process.

t       Some of the core principles of brain-based learning are:

The brain changes with use, throughout our lifetime.
The brain is a self-organizing mechanism.
As we use the brain, we strengthen certain patterns of connection, making each connection easier to create next time.
When educators take neuroscience into account, they organize a curriculum around real experiences and integrated, "whole" ideas. Plus, they focus on instruction that promotes complex thinking and the "growth" of the brain .The central belief of all brain based learning experts is EACH BRAIN IS UNIQUE.

t      
The three instructional techniques associated with brain-based learning are:

Orchestrated immersion--Creating learning environments that fully immerse students in an educational experience.
Relaxed alertness--Trying to eliminate fear in learners, while maintaining a highly challenging environment.
Active processing--Allowing the learner to consolidate and internalize information by actively processing it.

Brain based learning is a pathfinder in finding a solution to how can we individualize and personalize classroom learning.
Osmosys offers a number of products and teacher development programmes that facilitate brain based teaching and learning.

Active Learning through Technology
Technology impacts pedagogy in learning to a point of revolutionizing our concept of a classroom, a teacher, techniques and tools.

 Technology has the unique power of customizing learning even in a group setting where each learner learns in accordance with his brain-based orientations.

As never before can a conventional classroom become an interactive, collaborative and constructivist learning environment in which the learner plays!

The Learner plays a very significant role as an active participant and a driver of the thinking and learning process. Interactive technology- use of two way audio and video communication and multimedia permits this astonishing classroom conversion.

Collaborative technology – computer conferencing, web based learning and real time and virtual time communication results in making learning highly learner centered and facilitates higher order thinking, evaluation and synthesis of ideas.
A teacher in a new age classroom plays an important but changed role.

Osmosys offers a variety of programmes which extend a helping hand to organizations and teachers to facilitate the conversion of making technology the black-board of the future.
Special programmes for using technology to improve pedagogy, are real value adds in that they aim at using technology to achieve academic excellence

Academic Enhancement through Quality Management Systems
Quality is never an accident. With growing consumerism, Quality has become an obsession and differentiator. Quality consciousness in education as a service has come to stay.

This growing trend calls for a shift in perception and thought. Educational institutions are challenged to reorganize themselves to create environments that are based on total quality management principles.

The need of the hour is an aligning of the teaching learning system and the setting up of a quality management system based on critical parameters such as increasing management and teacher accountability; improved communication,

Corrective and Preventive Action to reduce errors; and optimal utilization of resources and delivering to customer satisfaction. Aligning the teaching learning system to ensure that there is adequate focus on curriculum planning- input, curriculum roll out- process, and evaluation- output, calls for a systemic approach that aligns input-process and output though effective planning, supply of resources, provision of time and robust monitoring and feedback loops.

Osmosys offers a series of QUALITY consulting and audit programmes including offering consultancy for ISO 9000-2000 certification.
