​
Overview
​
For the Fall semester, our faculty is teaching three types of learners: in-person learners; synchronous online learners and asynchronous learners. This demands proficiency in appropriate technology to ensure student-learning for each of the three categories of students.
CLT's November Q&A sessions have been designed with the following goals:
-
Providing consistent, regular and speedy support to faculty for dealing with the unique technological and pedagogical challenges for fall teaching.
-
Ensuring the necessary familiarity with the campus LMS (Moodle) & other accessible technologies like MS Teams, Zoom, etc.
-
Enabling faculty to optimally use technology to fulfill their pedagogical and instructional tasks.​
​
See below for the topics and key learning objectives of each session. The topics for the sessions have been based on your queries sent to ITS and CLT. The content of the sessions will be further tailored in keeping with your queries shared in the registration form and also the queries posed during the sessions.
