remote Center Iit-Bombay
The 'Train 1000 Teachers' programme was initiated by IIT Bombay in 2009, under the project 'Empowerment of Students/Teachers,' sponsored by the National Mission on Education through ICT (MHRD, Government of India). The main focus of this programme is to work with Engineering Colleges in the country to enhance the teaching skills of faculty in core Engineering and Science subjects. This project attempts to address a critical subset of important issues, and adopts an approach to address these utilizing modern technologies. It uses an ICT enabled process involving both synchronous and asynchronous mode to actually reach out and engage a large number of teachers, and through them, a much larger number of students. Indeed, actual involvement of these important stakeholders in the entire process, scaled to very large numbers using ICT, can be said to be a major contribution of the project.
Under the national mission on Education through ICT (MHRD, Government of India) the Department of Computer Science and engineering, MIT had establised a Remote Center with the capacity of 150 participants. Now Remote Center is providing exellent learning environment with high class computing facilities like intrective video conferencing with IIT faculties using A-view, computer labs for practical exposure, wi-fi zone during the workshop etc.
Our Remote Center conducted variour workshops for Faculty members as well as PG Students (Android workshop for UG students also). The details are as follows:-
