The objective of the programme is to discuss how the faculty of technical education in India can evolve effective pedagogy using digital tools and the latest technologies. Teaching should be a two-way dialogue/interaction between the faculty and their students; the curriculum is only a small segment, it is learning that is more important.
Amit PrashantThe topics of discussion included technology-enhanced learning, tools for active learning, active learning for Mathematics in engineering and technology, hands-on session on digital learning, digital resources, and so forth. Participants will also learn through a case study on active learning and will engage in discipline-wise panel discussions. Faculty members of IITGN will also interact with the participants of TEQIP III through various sessions on advanced pedagogy and will introduce the participants to a few digital teaching/ learning tools.
Welcoming the participants of the first batch, Prof Amit Prashant, professor in Civil Engineering, and Prof Pratyush Dayal, assistant professor in Chemical Engineering at IITGN, gave an introduction to the course. Professor Prashant also encouraged the faculty participants to become examples for their students with the help of their knowledge, experience and practice.
TEQIP is a summer training programme on active learning for faculty members to improve the quality of technical education system in the country. The second batch of the course will be held during May 27-31 and the third batch will be held during June 10-14, which will result in over 200 participants going through this workshop.
