Dr. E. S. M. Suresh, Head, NITTTR Extension Centre, Kalamassery, served as the resource person and programme coordinator of this PDP. Dr. Asha Joseph, Professor (CE) was the Coordinator of the program.
The programme offered valuable practical exposure to various aspects of digital content creation, with particular emphasis on e-content development, digital laboratory manual preparation and educational video production. The participants engaged in hands-on activities that enabled them to explore innovative approaches to transforming conventional teaching materials into engaging and technology-enabled learning resources.
An important highlight of the programme was the practical training in educational video recording using the newly established recording facilities at FISAT. The facilities, equipped with modern recording equipment, including a teleprompter, provided participants with an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in planning, scripting and recording educational videos. This initiative also demonstrated the institution's commitment to developing the infrastructure required for producing quality digital learning resources and promoting technology-enabled education.
The programme highlighted the growing importance of digital resources in engineering education and the opportunities they offer to enrich classroom instruction and laboratory learning. The skills and experience gained through the programme are expected to encourage faculty members to integrate innovative digital teaching methodologies into their academic practices, thereby making the teaching-learning process more effective, interactive and learner-centred.
The initiative marks another step towards strengthening technology-enabled teaching and learning practices in engineering education through institutional collaboration, infrastructure development and faculty capacity building.
