Learn Carnatic Music Online

Carnatica is proud to bring you the path-breaking music schools, Cyber Vidyalaya and Global Mobile Gurukulam, for the first time in the history of Indian music! A unique blend of traditional learning under leading gurus using the latest technology. Make use of this unique opportunity to undergo a full-fledged course in Carnatic music!

UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE CYBER VIDYALAYA & GURUKULAM

Modular Courses - Online (Cyber Vidyalaya) & Offline (Gurukulam) - are available to students in any nook and corner of the world, irrespective of age, sex or nationality.

A student can enroll at any time of the year and independently complete the course as per his/her convenience.

For the full-fledged course, it is mandatory for a student to complete all the levels prescribed in the syllabus, irrespective of his/her individual merit. However, one can finish the course sooner/later than the suggested time, with a minimum period of one year.

Outstanding students will be specially groomed for a career in music.

For students who do not have the required hardware support, or prefer that the lessons be sent by post, we will arrange to provide the same at a nominal cost, based on the actual expenses. Such students can also send back their test papers (theory and practical) in the same fashion.

Periodical chat sessions with Carnatica's cyber consultants will be available to enable the student's progress.

Other services offered include free counseling, music clinic, guest lectures and reference material.

Teachers' belief: The Objective of Education Is Learning only

This statement may need reiteration at times as appropriate. But it is not a new statement. Wharton is not set up to provide employment to some teachers and associated employees. People are not sending their children to schools and colleges for giving salaries to teachers. Neither teachers nor administrators believe that education exists for teaching.

The purpose and objective of education is learning by the student or learner. How should a society organize its learning process? Should it be mass education? Or should it be home based customized one to one education? We made certain decisions in this regard so far based on our cumulative experience of thousands of years and if our researchers come out with new insights, we as a community that believes in science and progress of science stand ready to modify our systems. But the general presumption that teachers believe that objective of education is teaching is totally a false assumption or postulate to begin with.

The current education system did deliver results to a large extent. It is an effective system. Is it an efficient system? Can its efficiency be improved? Even effectiveness of systems can be improved when the objective is a broad one like learning of children. The researchers have to identify gaps in the current systems or knowledge base and then come out with theoretical conjectures that solve the identified problem of lack of theory. The theoretical conjecture is to be tested empirically for propagating it as a scientific theory. Persons who are not researchers but want to propose policy prescriptions have to go through the relevant research findings and use them to develop their policy prescription.

Dubbing everything existing as an ineffective and inefficient is to insult all those Wisemen on whose shoulders Newton said he had stood and observed things to get a much better picture.

We believe in improvement and continuous improvement and we want ideas on how to improve education at every level. But this article does not provide balanced view and does not identify the facts related to the strengths and weaknesses of the current education system at various levels like beliefs, attitudes, behavior and systems (of parents, children, educators and administrators) and come out with appropriate suggestions based on the facts and related explanations.

'The Objective of Education Is Learning, Not Teaching'
Published: August 20, 2008 in Knowledge@Wharton
In their book, Turning Learning Right Side Up: Putting Education Back on
Track, authors Russell L. Ackoff and Daniel Greenberg point out that
today's education system is seriously flawed -- it focuses on teaching rather
than learning.

California Polytechnic State University - No. 1 Industrial Engineering Program

For 16th Straight Year, California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) Is Best in the West in U.S. News Rankings



For the 16th year in a row, Cal Poly has been rated the best public-master's university in the West by U.S. News & World Report, in its 2009 America 's Best Colleges guidebook.



Cal Poly ranked 10th in the magazine's overall list of the West's best universities, including both public and private institutions, that provide "a full range of undergraduate and master's-level programs but few, if any, doctoral programs."



U.S. News ranks colleges that grant doctoral degrees, such as those in the University of California system, in a separate category.




Cal Poly’s College of Engineering was named the No. 1 public engineering program in the nation in the magazine's Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs - for schools whose highest degree is a bachelor's or master's.



A number of College of Engineering programs also ranked high in the Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs in their individual specialty categories.

Cal Poly's industrial/manufacturing program was named the No. 1 program in the nation.

The university’s civil, computer, electrical and mechanical engineering programs were each ranked as the top program at a public university in their respective specialty categories.

Cal Poly’s aerospace program was ranked the third best program at a public university.



The U.S. News rankings will be available at www.usnews.com starting Aug. 22 and will be in the U.S. News & World Report magazine that goes on sale Monday, Aug. 25.

Creativity is not One Ability, but a Whole Cluster of Abilities

Creativity is not one ability, but a whole cluster of abilities. The most important ones are:

Ideational fluency: It measures a person's ability to come up with a number of solutions to a given problem.

Flexibility: The ability to provide a large variety of solutions, to respond to a problem from a variety of viewpoints, and to use a variety of approaches in problem solving.

Originality: The ability to come up with unusual but appropriate responses.

Ability to sense problems: The ability to notice the unexplained, the unsatisfactory, or the incogruent.

Ability to grasp the causes:It is the ability to go to the roots of a phenomenon by unravelling its causes, and equality, to visualise its consequences.

Ability to elaborate: It is the difference between a legend (that people talk of) and Shakespeare's drama on it. The ability to elaborate is indispensable to putting a creative idea to work.

Ability to restructure problems: The ability to go behind the surface features of a problem, and see what the "real" problem is.
