Induction Training on Effective Teaching Technologies

Faculty members in the training session on Effective Teaching Technologies

To equip newly recruited faculty members with essential teaching tools and strategies, the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) organized a day-long training on 7 March 2024. This initiative underscores ULAB's commitment to ensuring that its faculty is well-equipped with the latest tools and methodologies, aligning with the university's dedication to maintaining high standards of teaching and learning.

Twenty-four faculty members representing various departments and programs actively participated in the hands-on training. Two resource persons led the sessions, ensuring a tailored approach to address the specific needs of the participants. The learning management system used since 2014 is ULAB Moodle, and the training focuses on its effective use.

The training started with Associate Professor Arifa Ghani Rahman guiding the attendees through crucial aspects such as interface navigation, profile management, course setup, content upload, grade book setup, course backup, and restoration.

In the second part, Associate Professor Dr. Sarkar Barbaq Quarmal delved into assignment management, forum discussion facilitation, and question bank utilization. The practical and interactive sessions allowed participants to grasp these essential elements in a teaching environment.  The training's engaging nature encouraged active participation from the faculty members. They appreciated the sessions as they had the opportunity to pose questions, seek clarifications, and gain additional insights into the modules covered. The experts, in turn, provided comprehensive answers, fostering a dynamic and informative learning environment. Dr. M. Shazzad Hossain, the director of CETL, moderated the training session.
