Innovations by the Faculty in Teaching and Learning

Education is a very powerful tool for social change and transformation. Innovative teaching approaches assist teachers in delivering lectures in a more timely and effective manner, allowing students to stay current with technological improvements. Innovative practices are the best way to enhance the quality of our education. The application of innovative teaching and learning methods and Instructional competencies are essential practices that teachers must master for effectively instructing students to maximize knowledge and skill acquisition. With this in mind, our department strives to provide innovative learning mechanisms that would ensure a wholesome learning experience for the students.

A. A teaching and learning resources available on the institute website:

  • Question banks are prepared based on frequent occurrences of questions from university question papers (both Part A and Part B) for all the courses of the Department of Information Technology and are updated in the institute website regularly. The same is also circulated via group email ID. This approach helps the students to concentrate on specific problems and important topics.
  • Sources of E-book Materials are available and can be accessed by the students and faculty members as well.
  • Sources of Video Lectures prepared by our faculty members on different topics for Core Subjects are made available on the institute website.
  • Easy access to study material for every Course (unit wise) is enriched.
  • PowerPoint Presentation on all topics is also accessible by the students for simple understanding along with the recordings of class session held through MS team.

Instructional material

  • In classrooms and other student learning environments (Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams), both traditional and modern teaching aids such as blackboard teaching, OHP & LCD projectors, PowerPoint Presentation, Video Lecture, and other methods are used.
  • Subject Experts (Guest Lecturer) are invited for handling complex topics in core subjects to make the students understand better apart from regular subject handling faculty.
  • Practical support is provided to students for certain theoretical concepts through program execution, simulation and live demo apart from regular laboratory sessions.
  • Practical learning lab environment is provided similar to virtual lab to gain practical exposure. Python Lab simulation is implemented for first year students. Other laboratory courses are planned in future.

E-Learning

B. Peer Review Analysis and Assessment
Project Based Learning -Case Studies and Mini Projects

  • To develop conceptual skills, identify and solve problems innovatively, our students undertake Case Studies in different subjects. After explaining the different theoretical contents, students were asked to develop a case study using this knowledge. Students were asked to submit a separate report specifying the conceptual content reflected and its rationale. This report was a supplementary teaching material to be used later.
  • Apart from Regular Project Phase as per curriculum in final semester, students are also encouraged to do projects in second and third year in a smaller level wherein they are guided on various aspects including selection of the problem statement, writing literature survey, adopting methodologies and techniques. Finally the projects are examined by the faculty members.

Comprehensive based Mock Test

  • A Comprehensive based mock test for the students possesses a better idea of how well they are grasping the material and hopefully motivates them to learn more information about the subject. They are allowed to discuss, understand, and solve the topics, problems related to a subject. Technical mock tests are conducted for the students on different subjects by our faculty members to enhance the confidence level of students on a particular subject. Student learning is evaluated in relation to the teachers’ instructional methods. For example the below link denotes the online DBMS mock test for II and III year students.
  • Along with this, Placement related mock test training is also given with individual attention. https://forms.gle/v9YC2ENiTDhbgnmr8

Innovative Projects and Ideas available to be reproducible for public

The department conducts periodic innovative events among the students and invites expert faculty (in- house ) as judges such as Mini Project Expo, Software Contest and other Technical Events. The opinions and annotations by faculty, students and others are encouraged.

Prototype/Working Model

By working models, students are given a demonstration or example of a process or product that is representative of the skill or content they are expected to perform by themselves. Models and model development are useful for helping students to learn quantitative skills such as graphing, graphical analysis, visualization, statistics, computational skills and mathematics. The knowledge gained while using models and the understanding of model development and implementation are transferable to other disciplines.

Assignment practices for improving cognitive skills. Assignments are given unit wise after completion of each unit according to the BTL level mapping with Course Outcomes as homework to encourage the students to solve or explore the given problem and the same is verified and evaluated by the faculty members.

Academic reinforcement based on project-based model

Every semester student has to complete a mini project as a part of their curriculum and these are evaluated for on spot programming skills by mini project reviewers based on the rubrics.

Effective presentation
ICT Mode

The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) teaching tools are used as routine tasks for content delivery including emails, chats, instructional tools, etc. In classroom teaching, LCD projectors are used and are periodically serviced and maintained in working condition. The Department has separate AV Hall (classroom) exclusively for Effective Audio Visual presentation to have advantage of long-term memory retention in students with feel good environment.

Multimedia Learning

Multimedia Learning is an effective teaching learning tool in modern era. Multimedia, is the combination of various digital media types such as text, images, audio and video, into an integrated multi-sensory interactive application or presentation to convey information. Hence teachers select the mode of using short video lectures as the preliminary process of teaching remotely along with powerful presentations.

Collaborative Learning:

Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of students working together to solve a problem. The students in the class are separated into different groups. Each group has one leader. For each group, a set of problems are given and they work together to solve a problem. Finally the team leader explains the answers to other groups.

Crossword

A crossword is an interesting word puzzle activity which helps the students to recollect the concept and try to find out the answer individually. The students will be given a crossword puzzle of around 10 questions displayed to them individually. They have to think and provide the answers in a paper. Through this activity the students recall information easily and think individually and improve their problem solving skills.

Learning through Mind Map

A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information. It is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those major ideas.

Think-Pair-Share

Teachers begin by asking a specific question about the text. Students ‘think’ about what they know or have learned about the topic. Each student should be paired with another student or a small group. Students share their thoughts with their partner. Teachers expand the ‘share’ into a whole-class discussion. Individual students think about the topic. Each student is paired with another student or a small group and shares their thinking with their partner. It teaches students to share ideas with classmates and builds oral communication skills. It helps to focus attention and engage students in comprehending the reading material.

Learning from Experience:

Students are provided with various opportunities to participate in In-Plant Training programmes, Internships, Industrial Visits where they gain knowledge, Exposure and Experience.

Semester break Internship

Every semester break, students are advised to go for Internship and In-plant training to explore outside world activities and to obtain industrial exposure.

Club Activities Reinforcement through student Club activities /Reinforcement of concepts are encouraged through the activities of ITEAC student clubs monitored by faculty coordinator for multiple events.

Exposure from Senior and Alumni:

We always encourage the relationship between seniors and juniors. Seniors and alumni are invited to help the juniors in both academic and industry scope. They give awareness on industry standards, recent trends and how to cope up with it and more towards inculcating self confidence in them.

Mentor-Mentee Relationship

Each Faculty member plays the role of a mentor effectively for every student until they complete the course. Individual Counseling is given on a regular basis on both academic issues and personal issues. Mentors guide their mentees in every possible way for their betterment. Also, Mentors do communicate with parents about the progress of their wards regularly.
