Two Parallel One day workshop were held on “effective teaching” and “project management” at Computer Department of HNG University on 26th September. 26 and 18 faculty members from various colleges had taken part in wk 1 and wk 2 respectively.
I have taught “Software Engineering” to MCA students and have applied some of the techniques in the class room, learned by me during IUCEE 2008 and that made a difference, like 1) students start coming to classes by prior reading 2) students were taking more interest in One minute test that I had taken in all most all sessions.
OUTCOMES C#10
Improved Teaching in Classroom
Noticed, faculty members those have attended workshops were got awareness surprisingly themselves by knowing the very effective techniques of teaching

REGIONAL CENTREREGIONAL CENTRESuggestionsSuggestions
Involvement of Principals/Directors in strategizing IUCEE trainings would make them more responsive to IUCEE activities. Currently participants from Summer2008 workshops are struggling on their own.
Build a strong team of Mentors to carry on the IUCEE activities with an ensured quality at the regional level.
