CLIP conducts Teaching and Learning Faculty Workshop

The Centre for Learning and Innovative Pedagogy (CLIP) organised a workshop specifically designed to welcome and prepare the incoming faculty members joining the university. The workshop, held from November 30 to December 1, incorporated in-person, synchronous, and asynchronous online sessions, offering a comprehensive exploration of essential elements crucial to the dynamic landscape of teaching. The workshop addressed instructional design, technology integration, and effective teaching methodologies.

The primary objective of the workshop was to equip faculty members with essential skills and guidance to confidently reshape their teaching approaches, thereby reducing knowledge gaps and providing the necessary tools to enhance student engagement in their courses. Key topics covered included teaching and learning philosophy, learning taxonomies, and the backward design methodology. Participants engaged in various sessions such as enhancing learning outcomes through taxonomy-informed crafting, elevating student engagement through technology integration, methods of a master teacher, feeding forward and back with effective rubrics, and designing effective course manuals.
