August 28, 2020

With technology increasingly redefining education, Gian Jyoti Institute of Management and Technology (GJIMT), Mohali, organized a transformative Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on “Blended Learning and ICT in Teaching” from August 24 to 28, 2020. The initiative aimed to empower educators to adapt to modern pedagogical needs by integrating cutting-edge digital tools and blended learning approaches into their teaching practices.

The programme began with a focus on the evolving role of educators in a technology-driven world, emphasizing the need for dynamic teaching strategies that combine the best of traditional and online methods. Participants were introduced to the concept of blended learning, a model that seamlessly integrates face-to-face instruction with digital tools to create a more flexible and personalized learning environment.

In addition, the sessions covered the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools to enhance content delivery, improve communication with students, and foster active engagement. The exploration of Learning Management Systems (LMS) provided insights into efficient course management, online assessments, and collaborative learning opportunities.

This five-day programme offered hands-on workshops, interactive discussions, and practical demonstrations, equipping educators with actionable strategies to enhance student participation and learning outcomes. Participants gained a deeper understanding of how to create inclusive and engaging learning experiences, leveraging technology to overcome challenges in diverse teaching environments.

By the end of the programme, attendees expressed confidence in implementing these innovative methods, highlighting the relevance of such initiatives in today’s educational landscape. The FDP underscored GJIMT’s dedication to empowering educators with the skills and knowledge needed to provide impactful and high-quality learning experiences in an increasingly digital world.
