New Training Program For Teachers
IIT- Bombay (Indian Institute of Technology) is very proud of inaugurating its new Teacher Training Programme for around 10,000 teachers. This training programme was inaugurated by Kapil Sibal, HRD Ministry at the IIT-B Campus.

Under the Project 'Talk To A Teacher' pf the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT) of his ministry, training for 10,000 Engineering College Teachers from across the country is conducted by leveraging broadband network and ICT tools.

 

The programme is being conducted through 168 remote centres in India. The lectures are delivered from IIT Bombay by professors of the Institute and IIT Madras. Though the software A-VIEW, audio-video creativity is provided between all the centres and IIT Bombay. The course consists of lectures, live interactions and lab sessions.

An official from IIT-Bombay said "This method of synchronous education has been developed at IIT-Bombay, under the leadership of D.B.Phatak. This method of education allows participation of a large number of Women Teachers, who normally are unable to join contact programmes at distant locations, owing to family commitments".

Sibal, also interacted with the remote centres from Kanyakumari, Rajkot, Srinagar and Nagpur. A representative of IIT-Bombay presented an Aakash Tablet to the minister. He said, Unlike other tablet devices, Aakash could also be used to create computer programmes in Python, C, C++ and Scilab.
