TRICHY: National Institute of Technology (NIT) Trichy is hosting a 12-day-long online workshop on capacity building for entry-level assistant professors and lecturers in arts and science colleges.
The workshop is being sponsored by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR).
The workshop that began from Monday will orient the participants on 21st century education skills especially when the imparting of education has been taken to the virtual mode amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Total 72 faculty members from across the country have been taking part in the workshop.
Programme coordinator, S Mekala, said that the workshop captures social, personal, intellectual and emotional skills to prepare the learners for meaningful and successful life in this globalized context.
One of the resource persons, who took a session on flipped learning and blended classrooms on Wednesday, said many of the faculty members were not aware of the digital tools that can make the classroom teaching interesting.
“Through the workshop, we are attempting to make the delivery methodology effective by making use of the digital tools.
The idea was to make teaching interesting for faculty members,” said the resource person.
N Thamaraiselvan, one of the programme coordinators, said that a total 402 faculty members from across the country expressed willingness to take part in the workshop out of which 72 were shortlisted for the workshop.
Mini Shaji Thomas director of NIT-Trichy stressed on the importance of having such workshops on capacity building for teachers to handle the students in this pandemic situation.
