Teachers who adapt and reform
in this Technology-driven era can significantly lead to developments manifesting
in the progress of our nation ultimately leading to the progress of human civilization.
The use of digital means for teaching has numerous advantages such as its reach
with countless repeatability in the physical absence of a teacher, impeccable
and assured quality along with the portability to upgrade and improve. These
thoughts were expressed by the Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology of
Savitribai Phule Pune University Dr. Arvind Shaligram while inaugurating
the Two day National Level Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on “Electronic-Content
Development for Effective Teaching” being organized by the Poona College of
Arts, Science and Commerce and sponsored by Yateemkhana and Madrasa Anjuman
Khairul Islam Trust, Mumbai. He also stressed on the critical importance of the
teacher’s role in the development of our nation.
The FDP was conducted
in collaboration with “Knowledge Bridge” Founders Shri. Bhushan Kulkarni
and Shri. Eknath Kore, Spanning over two days, the FDP had 10 rigorous, back-to-back technical sessions during which innovative and reformative technical
tips were given by the resource persons to make teaching more effective
and appealing, to the present-day learning community. The unique feature of
this FDP was the suggestions that don’t require heavy investments and are
achievable by just using commonly used cell phones and easily available software
and apps.

Principal Dr. Aftab Anwar Shaikh, Prof. Moinuddin Khan, Prof. Iqbal
