| Abstract: | This paper presents a new technique of delivery of classes—an instructional technique which will no doubt revolutionize the
teaching and learning, whether for on-campus, blended or online modules. This is based on the simple task of instructionally
incorporating text-to-speech software embedded in the lecture slides that will simulate exactly the delivery of an intended
lecture, assisted with teaching aids such videos, animations and music, as deemed necessary. The benefits of such an approach
in the educational system of the University are multifold and can be categorized in three different axes namely pedagogical,
administrative and financial. Our main interests in this article lie along the pedagogical benefits (which undoubtedly overlap
to some extent into administrative and financial axis) that this technique will bring in the system. While it is obvious that
the initial process does consume a reasonable amount of time and gradually reveals its own complexities, constraints and limitations
as described in this paper, the approach does however provide considerable elements to bring a major re-definition of the
overall teaching and learning framework at the University of Mauritius.
