Innovative Teaching Learning Methods

Innovations by the Faculty in Teaching and Learning

Faculty-led innovation in teaching and learning is a dynamic and ever-evolving process that requires educators to be open to new ideas and willing to experiment. It is essential to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century, and faculty who are willing to innovate in their teaching are more likely to engage and motivate their students. There are many different ways to innovate in teaching and learning, and the best approach will vary depending on the subject matter, the students, and the resources available. However, all of these techniques and strategies have the potential to improve the quality of teaching and learning.

National Programme on Technical Enhanced Learning (NPTEL)

NPTEL is an e-learning initiative by the IITs and IISc that offers online courses in a variety of subjects, including engineering, sciences, technology, management, and humanities. The courses are developed by top faculty from the IITs and IISc, and are available to students and faculty worldwide. Providing nptel and other resources links in the website for easy access and motivating the students to watch the videos. By playing relevant NPTEL videos (http://nptel.uec.in/NPTEL3/JulDec_2021/105/index.html (http://nptel.uec.in/NPTEL3/Jul-Dec_2021/105/index.html)) in the classroom, faculty provide high-quality instruction from the experts in their field. This helps the students to have a better understanding of the course.
