The Virtual University Sialkot campuses Conducted Orientation sessions for Spring 2022 Admissions from 18th to 21st April 2022 (11:00 am to 3:30 pm) with Multimedia presentations and lab sessions. The primary aim of the orientation was acquainting the new students to the online education environment and academic culture of Virtual University and to equip them with the tools (Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, Team Viewer and Adobe Connect) necessary to become successful online learners. They were also guided about the flexible VU examination , the academic process and CPL.
CEO in his address congratulated and welcomed the students. He tried to take students towards new horizons and made them realize that they have made a good decision by choosing Virtual University. He said that technology has replaced many of our traditional ways of life, as we have moved to a more digital world especially after COVID-19. If we want to compete with the developed world, we have to adapt and embrace change. The only way to go forward is to learn computers and new technologies.
He outlined the significance of ICT in our life that the big shifts over the coming decade will be the move towards the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and data. The Internet of Things (IOT) is a remarkable concept. The physical world is being re-invented and the IOT is changing our lives beyond our imagination. But we are still in the very beginning of this journey. IT has radically changed everything from banking, entrepreneurship, medical to education and industry etc. The one who is the most adaptable to change will survive.
He also asked them to ponder the entire universe, the immaculate creation of Allah that stretches beyond the beaming blue sky and serenading stars, billions of galaxies, planets and more than our human minds could ever imagine. It truly possesses a glorious variety and harmony.
Students were made to realize that these are the very important years of their life. Once you become an expert in VULMS then you can attempt all ON-LINE courses provided by MIT and Stanford and other world-renowned universities.
He also shared his personal experience and tried to ignite students' minds with interesting stories and fascinating videos about future technologies. He said that every child is born inquisitive, creative and all-ready to explore the world around them. We should not let it fade away because 21st century education requires students to be more creative, adaptable and self-learner.
