Study Materials by IGNOU
Unlike conventional Universities, IGNOU is more learner–oriented and the students have an active role in the learning and teaching process. Most of the knowledge is imparted to the students through distance mode with only a small component of face-to–face communication. The primary form of study materials are the self instructional materials supplied by IGNOU themselves through the LSCs. The self instructional materials are supplied to the students in the form of several booklets called blocks. Each block comprises several units. The students expected to study a single unit in a session of about 4 to 6 hours. These self instructional materials are made available both in printed and electronic form through IGNOU eContent App and eGyankosh website. It is to be noted that studying these self instructional materials alone won’t be sufficient to write up the assignments and prepare for the term-end examinations. The students should also do some additional readings.
