Course Overview

Teaching is one of the faculties that has been around since the dawn of time, but we have still not perfected this skill. In modern-day Indian institutions, the assumption is that if a person knows enough about the subject, they will be able to impart it to other students. However, more often than not, this leads to an unpleasant classroom experience. Effective Engineering Teaching in Practice online course aims to bridge this gap between knowledge possession and impart it.

In the Effective Engineering Teaching in Practice training, candidates will understand the learning process's essentials and how to put the learner at the center. Concerning this, they will train in various methodologies and strategies to improve their teaching process. Thus, newly joined and experienced teachers can benefit from this course.
