IGNOU Post Graduate Diploma in Educational Technology Admission

In classrooms, online learning environments, and training rooms, educational technology is no longer "optional". Teachers, trainers and academic managers must now plan, teach and assess using digital tools just as easily as they do with a chalkboard. The IGNOU Post Graduate Diploma in Educational Technology Admission is designed for people who want to formalise these skills and understand why and how they can be used to teach.

Unnati Education has worked with learners from a variety of backgrounds, including schools, colleges, corporate learning, NGOs and edtech start-ups. They all have the same goal: to be able to teach more effectively with technology, rather than just using random apps.
