Innovative Educational

Technology Innovative educational technology

might represent a completely new

way of teaching, or it can reflect a better way to use

an existing teaching tool.

These three examples of innovative educational

technology range from the most advanced electronic

classrooms to the more modest technologies used in

the developing world. These innovations illustrate

how best practices in education technology can be

shared and how you can tap into these great ideas.

Computer-assisted instruction

Computer-assisted instruction will benefit greatly

from the Common Core initiative. This technology

has been around for some time, but it has been slow

to develop because, in the past, each school district

offered different instructional content at each grade

level. With Common Core, this technology is poised

for rapid adoption across the country.

Basically, computer-assisted instruction allows

teachers to spend more time with individual students

who are having difficulties. Meanwhile, other

students in the class can work through their lessons

at their own pace. This improves classroom

efficiency and allows for one-on-one attention in

larger classrooms. A study by Lisa Barrow et al.

showed a marked improvement in heterogeneous

classes with more than 15 students. As states are

forced to educate more students with tighter budgets,

computer-assisted instruction offers a promise of

higher test scores.

Websites and social media

Some teachers have used these technologies to

create a homework blog, a classroom website or

student blogs. Another innovative use of social

media and the Web is the creation of education-

related Pinterest boards. Each of these technologies

opens up the classroom a little and facilitates

communication between students, educators, parents

and the broader community.

This can be seen as the technological extension of

the traditional schoolhouse and its connections with

the community. In a way, these innovations are

bringing the world back to a time when your parents

knew what happened at school even before you

returned home. This is because the whole

community was, and increasingly still is, built

around the local school

.H.U. Talawar

From the Desk of the

Editor:

The Importance of

innovative learning- The technical education

programs are ever changing to

meet the country’s education and skill needs. These

programs are creating an educational environment

that combines core academics with real-world

application. Higher Education currently touches the

lives of millions of students studying in various

institutions nationwide. At its core, the mission is to

prepare students for success in college and careers by

helping them develop the skills, knowledge,

academic rigor, and real-world experience for high-

skill, high-demand, and highly successful careers. It has been repeatedly emphasized the importance of

access to higher quality education in the remotest

place. Government is committed to redesign the

educational framework and regulating them through

regulatory bodies with new vigor partnering with

colleges and employers that offer the real-world

education and hands-on training that will lead to

good jobs and careers.

We feel that not everyone needs a four-year degree

to be successful but rather they do need a

combination of post-secondary skill education and

industry-recognized credentials that lead to

sustaining jobs and careers. We believe that this

framework will significantly expand opportunities

for secondary and postsecondary students as well as

adults to successfully complete the most efficient

pathways to the post-secondary, industry-recognized

credentials they need for good jobs in high-demand

industries and occupations.

Currently education sector of India lacks sociability

due to shortage of quality faculty / skilled human

resource. Higher Education can provide great

opportunity to overcome such hurdle and reach out

to more number of students. We need to explore

optimal use of recent trends of learning to overcome

the faculty shortage. Some of them may be-

Digital Learning

Online learning and MOOCs (Massive Online Open

Courses)

Android App/ Windows App

Interactive Self-Assessment

we must understand that change is inevitable and we

need to come out to welcome these new technology

trends blended with traditional methods of teaching

for expanding learning opportunities.

TEQIP Principals meeting

On 21.05.2016 all TEQIP Principals meeting

was called at TEQIP Conference hall,

Directorate of Technical Education, Bangalore

to discuss about national level SPFU

Conference.

In one of the Consultancy meetings held at

Shastri Bhavan, New Dehli under the

Chairmanship of Additional Secretary Technical

Education, MHRD, New Delhi, SPFU Karnataka

was advised to organize National Conferences

of SPFUs of all States to share best practices and

challenges faced during TEQIP – II as Karnataka

was one of the best states while implementing

TEQIP activities.

In view of the above the meeting is called to

discuss about the outline, venue and date of the

National conference.

Sri H. U. Talawar, Director of Technical

Education, Chaired the session, SPFU officials

and principals of TEQIP Institutions participated

and gave valuable suggestions in the meeting to

make the National conference of SPFUs

successful.


Green Campus Initiative @

TEQIP Institutions, Background: The leading Engineering Institutions

have been identified for TEQIP as part of capacity

and capability building for training of professionals

for India /Karnataka to meet the needs of Technical

Education. To create awareness among the

stakeholders of TEQIP institutions, the SPFU in

collaboration with BMSCE initiated the conduction

of One week National workshop on Environmental

management. In continuation of the above, the time

has come for a GREEN CAMPUS

INITIATIVE(GCI) across the TEQIP Institutions

and extend GCI subsequently to all Engineering

Institutions under VTU and other Educational

Institutions under Medical Education / Collegiate

Education / PU Education/ School Education etc.,

across the State.

The GCI has the potential to generate Megawatts

of Green Power, save Millions of time of Water

and reduce millions of tons of waste across the

State.

Solar Power in Educational Institutions –IIT

Bombay (1MW solar power plant)

The Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, has

gone the eco-friendly way and established its own

1MW solar power plant. Every month, IIT Bombay

consumes approximately 6,500 KW of power, which

costs the exchequer Rs. 2.00 crores. The Institute

hopes to cut down the bill by Rs.50.00 Lakhs a

month. The plant is expected to produce around 1.45

million units of energy per year, for a minimum

period of 20 years. The plant consists of 16 smaller

plants each having a capacity of approximately 50-

100KW, spread over the rooftops of 16 academic

buildings in the 550-acre campus.

to understand about the material flow in casting,

shrinkage occurrence, variation of temperature, etc.,

and Forging simulation software (AFDEX) helps

students to learn about , how the deformation of

material takes place, where stress concentration is

more, etc., So it is more useful in pre-work process


before making actual casting product like die and

mould.
