Innovations In Teaching & Learning
The term “Innovation” in teaching and learning is intrinsically quite broad in perspective and there are a number of views on how to define it.
Any teaching strategy, approach, technique, or tool can qualify to be termed as an innovation if it is used, or used in a new way, to produce quantifiable gain for student outcomes or the student experience, and can be implemented widely
Many of such innovative initiatives taken by faculty and staff of the department can be observed in the Course Files, Laboratory Manuals and other documents that are maintained in the department.
