Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has set in motion the process of modernization of classroom teaching in the Department of Mass Communication by organizing a workshop on the use of smart class room technology. The two-day workshop, which was conducted by an expert from Julong Educational Technologies, New Delhi, concluded on July 7, 2010.
“The department is one of the first in the university which has not only acquired smart board as part of wider smart class room technology but has also taken a right step to teach the nitty-gritties of how to use the new technology to its faculty members by organizing the workshop,” Prof N A K Durrani, chairman, Department of Mass Communication, AMU, has said.
According to Prof Durrani, the interactive board functions as a big computer screen where the teacher can write with the help of a ‘magic’ pen; make video, audio and PowerPoint presentations; and also access internet. The students can interact with the interactive panel by scribbling their queries, through special pens, directly on the board without raising hands or voices.
