According to Dr.C.N.Manjunath, Director of the Institute, “Digital Learning Management System” is a New System which is being installed at Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research, Bengaluru will function like a “Digital Library”. He expressed that normally in hospitals particularly for Post Graduate Students in Clinical Branches / Medicine and Surgery, when they are busy in their own work, working in ICCU’s and Operation Theatres, many of them are not able to attend classes physically. With this New System, the Post Graduates who have not attended the Case Discussion and Seminars can always login to this platform even after their work is completed, at their convenient time. They can study and get information about the particular topic or case discussion anytime and this will be very useful to update the Academic happenings in the Institute or outside. Going Digital is a step towards progressive Indian Education system for implementing Quality but the basic learning things continues to be the key factor.
Dr. C. N. Manjunath, Director thanked Hon’ble Minister, Dr. Swapna Singh, Founder CEO and Dr. Amit Verma, Director of AMCI Edtech Private Limited for designing and developing this Platform.
