The faculty development program was sponsored by National Institute of Educational Panning & Administration, New Delhi and organized by School of Agricultural Science, Nagaland University, Medziphema Campus.
Resource person Professor K Srinivas, in his speech, urged the faculty to use the e-learning tools for enhancing online teaching and to provide quality inputs. He opined that all the ICT tools are to facilitate smoother learning for students but the one-on-one, human interactions cannot be replaced.
Teachers should be empathetic, interested and enthusiastic and must keep updating their knowledge and stated that teachers must be ready to unlearn, relearn and reskill if they are to stay relevant. Only then can a positive environment and positive attitude be brought about, Srinivas stated. He also stated that late learning means learning the latest.
