Strategy1-Smart Teaching and Learning
Learning is not how much one can cramp up. Rather it's the knowledge that remains after one forgets what he/she learned in schools. Thus we emphasize on learning concepts with the help visuals and performing activities.
Keeping this in view we are vouching for smart classroom learning to be introduced. This smart class room education system makes students get more interest on the lectures and also increase the student participation in a classroom environment.
Through this Smart Learning concept we want the learners themselves to facilitate a framework in the concepts that will be later bridged by the teachers. The learners activate and build background knowledge, process information, transform their learning into a product(a picture, a mind map or a presentation) that shows what they know, and reflect on their learning. Then the teacher would wrap it up with anything missing from the student's part.
Structured talk and assessment as and for learning are carefully woven into the process to build a thoughtful context for learning and to advance the thinking of all learners. Smart Learning realizes the goals of inclusivity and differentiation.
Also The use of Education technology can bring a huge change in education. Internet and e learning devices can make classroom environment extremely amazing. Teaching through computer, internet and multimedia devices will be a common thing in future and we want to take a step towards it.
Strategy 2-Announcements
“Every news in and around the campus must reach every student in the campus.”
Every resource made available by the college can be utilised in a productive way only if every student gets to know of it. And forthiswe came up with a solution the smart way.
The need of the hour is that Students are unable to recognise the different kinds of activities happening in and around college. This is because there are a number of classes and the canvassing panel membershasto go around each class and share the announcement every now and then. But other than this there is no other way of communicating to the students about the workshops, competitions or any other activities going on.
Also if the students are not present during the time the announcements are being made then there is no way for them except for word of mouth to knowaboutwhat they have missed. As a result low participation is observed much to the disappointment of the organisers and the other students alike.
Our solution to this challenge would be creating an App. As every student now isa nardent mobile user they would get notifications right at their fingertips.
This App would contain the following sections and will be accessible both by the faculty and the students thus again broadening the communication channel between the facilitators and the participants.
Information on Events: Full details about all the upcoming events in and around the college will be available and updated timely.
Results or exam notifications: College results and notifications of other exams are viewed only through the official website until now.Alsothe students had to check every now and then to see if there is an update. The introduction of the app would mean students will automatically get regular updates and they won't need to check each and every time.
Attendance manager: This will be to keep a check on thestudentsattendance on a daily basis both by the students themselves and the faculty.
College layout direction map: Basic information for anyone new to navigate in college.
Strategy 3-INDUSTRY EXPOSURE
“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” – Confucius
To bridge the gap between the technical concepts taught ina classroom and their practical aspects, the students need to have hands onlearning experience. For the very same reasonthe Industry should be brought outside right outside the classroom.
Alsoit has been widely reported time and again that university graduates need to be better prepared for the workplace. So, what better way to do this then let students experience doing real work while they are still studying?
The industry exposure enhances the undergraduate’s work life through added enthusiasm and commitment; provides a lifelong learning experience; is an opportunity to engage with the profession to which they aspire in a realistic work environment; appreciate and understand the practical application of their academic programme; work with professional mentors and to begin to build networks within their profession.
So, even before the student graduates, he or she is trained to be job-ready, thus increasing the student’s employment prospects.
We believe this could be done by introducing the following in curriculum -
