BEST PRACTICE 2

  1. Title of the Practice:- ICT based Teaching- Learning Process.
  2. Goal: – To widen up the learning horizons of the students.
  3. The Context: – In university affiliated Institute teaching learning is normally bounded by prescribed syllabus which quite often fails to satisfy job market demands. It is therefore essential to equip the students with recent development in science and technology by advanced learning from eminent speakers from world renowned Institutes or Universities.
  4. The Practice: – ICT based teaching learning process is being practiced mainly in the following different ways:
  • At least 1 class rooms on every dept. have been set equipped with Internet connection and audio visual facility
  • Wi-Fi connections are provided in the campus.
  • Library is equipped with e-books and e-journals and make it available in institute.
  1. Evidence of Success: – Almost all students of all Departments are enthusiastically taking advantage of this ICT based learning facilities.
  2. Problems Encountered and Resources Required: –
  • Problem encountered in implementing full ICT based teaching learning is relating to mindset of both Faculty students. Quite a large number of students still prefer printed books than e-books available in Institutes. Even Faculty members prefer Black Board teaching.
  • A sizeable member of student could just copy information of Internet specifically in project work as a result they would not learn seriously.
  • All faculty staff need to be trained to use ICT which is a different problem.
  • Moreover, introduction of ICT based Teaching learning is very expensive. As a result resource crunch is major constraint
