Teaching Learning Process
ICT ENABLED TOOLS FOR EFFECTIVE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) positively impacts student learning when teachers are digitally skilled and know how to integrate it into the curriculum. ICT enhances content delivery by providing teaching resources, facilitating self-learning, and offering assessment tools, ultimately supporting and optimizing the educational experience.
1. TEACHING TOOLS
Apart from conventional chalk and talk lectures, the following innovative ICT enabled teaching approaches are being practiced in the institution.
Mind map: A mind map is a visual representation used to organize information, ideas, or concepts around a central theme. It typically starts with a main idea at the center and branches out into related topics or subtopics, helping to show relationships and connections between different elements. Mind maps are often used for brainstorming, problem-solving, note-taking, and organizing thoughts in a clear and structured way.
Video Lecturing: Video lecturing refers to the use of pre-recorded videos or live video sessions to deliver instructional content to students. It allows educators to present lessons, explain concepts, and demonstrate techniques in a visual and engaging format. This method supports a range of learning styles, enhances understanding through visual and auditory elements.
Animation: creating moving images or sequences by displaying a series of static images, drawings, or models in quick succession. Animation visually explains complex concepts, demonstrate processes, or illustrate abstract ideas in an engaging and easy-to-understand way. It can enhance learning by making content more dynamic, interactive, and memorable, catering to visual learners and helping to simplify difficult topics through visual storytelling.
Seminars: Typically, seminars involve presentations, discussions, and sometimes hands-on activities led by an expert or facilitator. They provide an opportunity for participants to engage with the subject matter in-depth, ask questions, and share insights, fostering interactive learning and collaboration.
Virtual Labs (V- Labs): Virtual Labs (V-Labs) are online platforms that simulate real-world laboratory environments, allowing students to conduct experiments and interact with scientific tools and resources digitally. These virtual laboratories enable learners to explore complex concepts, test hypotheses, and carry out practical experiments without the need for physical lab space or equipment.
Google classrooms: Students can access class materials, submit assignments, participate in discussions, and receive feedback, all within the platform. Google Classroom integrates with other Google tools like Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides, making it easy to collaborate, store files, and track progress.
Google /Microsoft teams meet: Google Meet and Microsoft Teams are both collaboration and communication platforms that facilitate virtual meetings, video conferences, and team collaboration.
Terv tool: Terv tool is used for programming assistance in teaching curriculum-based laboratories
2.SELF LEARNING TOOLS
Self learning tool empowers learners to access a wide range of online materials, such as educational videos, e-books, and interactive simulations, allowing them to study at their own pace.
Online Learning Platforms: Students are encouraged to make use of platforms such as NPTEL, SWAYAM, Coursera, and EdX, where they can access a diverse array of courses to expand their knowledge in various fields. These platforms offer high-quality educational content from top universities and institutions, allowing students to deepen their understanding of subjects, explore new topics, and enhance their skills.
Digital Library Access: students gain access to a vast collection of journals, question banks, and e-books, including resources like IEEE Xplore, NDLI, and Delnet. These platforms offer a wealth of academic and research materials that support continuous learning and keep students informed about the latest advancements in technology. By utilizing these resources, students can deepen their knowledge, stay current with industry trends, and enhance their academic research, fostering a culture of lifelong learning.
E-learning Resources: Resources like IEEE journals, MOOCs, and online question banks provide students with opportunities to explore specialized topics, refine their technical skills, and broaden their industry-relevant knowledge. These platforms offer access to cutting-edge research, expert-led courses, and practical problem-solving exercises, enabling students to stay ahead of industry trends and deepen their expertise in specific areas. By leveraging these resources, students can enhance their understanding of complex concepts, gain hands-on experience, and better prepare for professional careers in their respective fields.
3.ASSESSMENT TOOLS
Our department utilizes various digital platforms to monitor and assess student progress, ensuring continuous development and readiness for industry standards:
Online Quizzes and Assignments: Platforms like Google Forms, Quiz Star, and Digipro facilitate regular assessments by providing tools for creating quizzes and assignments. These platforms allow students to test their knowledge, reinforce learning, and receive immediate feedback on their performance.
Aptitude and Skill Assessment Tools: Platforms such as Terv, AMCAT, and CoCubes are used to assess students' coding aptitude, problem-solving abilities, and communication skills. These assessments help track students' progress while also preparing them for industry recruitment processes.
