Panjab University will conduct a seven-day training programme for teachers on online teaching techniques and how to effectively use these platforms, to impart education.
Panjab University (PU) has announced that it will be conducting a seven-day training programme for teachers on online teaching techniques from April 4, 2020, amid the 21-days coronavirus lockdown.
Over 60 teachers from nine universities across the country, including Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU), Amritsar, Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU), Rohtak, Punjabi University, Patiala, and Pune University will take part in this teachers training programme.
The training will be conducted through Zoom cloud and teachers will be given classes on usage of Google Classroom and teaching interactions through Zoom cloud and other related software.
"With educational institutions across the country been shut due to coronavirus outbreak, it is the need of an hour to brief our teachers about the procedures of online teaching. Since many teachers around the country are not fully aware of using these online platforms, this training programme is organised," said Jatinder Grover, Dean, PU.
A PU senator said that both the students and teachers are facing difficulties to switch from classrooms to online mode. Some of the teachers do not have any teaching materials with them and they are not even familiar to online teaching mode. For them, this training programme will be helpful.
Experts from National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration, Ambedkar University, Delhi, and Panjab University, Chandigarh, will speak on several topics related to effective use of online platforms for imparting education during the seven-days training programme.
An expert from McGill University, Canada, will also deliver a special lecture.
“The online teaching procedures will be shared during this faculty development programme and it will enhance the professional abilities of the teachers," Raj Kumar, Vice-Chancellor, PU said.
