AICTE approved FDP on
“Foundation Program in ICT for Education”
Conducted by NMEICT, IIT Bombay
on
19th August 2017& 20th August 2017
Department of Electrical Engineering of Mewar University is organising anFDP101x on “Foundation Program in ICT for Education” at Mewar University through NMEICT, IIT Bombay.
IIT Bombay has been involved with distance synchronous educationunder the T10KT (Train 10 Thousand Teachers at a time) project sponsored by NMEICT. Online educational methodologies, and flipped classrooms with associated pedagogy of active learning, have quickly emerged as the mainstay of effective education in this century. However, most of our teachers lack skills and competencies for proper and effective use of ICT in education. It is thus an urgent national requirement that all our teachers, at least those teaching in our professional colleges, are empowered to use technology effectively, to enhance the quality of education.
Who Should Attend
As this FDP is not subject-specific, teaching faculty from any domain, including faculty from management, polytechnics, science & technology, arts and commerce can participate.Teachers registered in a Masters or a PhD program, during their employment as a teacher, can also participate. Additionally, participants should have basic familiarity with computer.
Duration and Venue
This AICTE approved FDP consists of two components as follows:
1. Online work by individual participants: Each participant is expected to access the online platform, using a PC at home or office, on any convenient day and time during the week, with an online test every week. Each participant has to spend 6 to 8 hours of efforts per week during this component of the FDP. This is equivalent to one day of work in a regular FDP. This activity will be spread over 5 calendar weeks: From 3rd August 2017 to 7th September 2017.
2. Face-to-Face interaction: Participants will have to physically attend these sessions at their chosen or designated Remote Centers (RCs), established across the country by IIT Bombay. Focused interactive sessions with the participating teachers, will be conducted by the faculty from IIT Bombay. The discussions and local tutorial sessions will be moderated by the Workshop Coordinators appointed at each RC. This activity will be conducted on the weekend of 19th&20th August 2017.
Course Fee
Funding support from Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) permits us to offer the FDP without any course fees. Participants have to take care of their expenses for travel/food during the A-VIEW interaction at Remote Centers.
