MoU with University of Toledo

TIET and UToledo signed an agreement to engage in activities that include: the transfer of Participants from TIET to UToledo for degree completion programs; development of joint degree programs (e.g., 2+2, 2+1, 2+2+1, and/or 2+1+1). Upon successful completion of all required coursework, the student will receive a UToledo degree award.

CAPSL

CAPSL Advance Program

12 Thapar-Trinity Academic Fellows appointed from Sept 1, 2020. They are developing modules for faculty proposed to be offered from December 1, 2020. The proposed themes for Advanced Development Programs are Design and Development of E Content; Effective Online Assessment; Active Delivery & Student Engagement and Projects, Labs and Experiential Learning in Online Environment.

Community of Practice (CoP)

Preparation and Delivery of E Content and online Assessment

A series of CoPs on Preparation and Delivery of E Content and online Assessment were conducted from 14-17th September 2020 for CAPSL batches of 2016-2019 to share knowledge and effective practices related to e-learning and assessment, identify problems and seek solutions to problems shared by community members, provide opportunities to explore and innovate in the area of e-learning. Faculty shared effective teaching practices, successful student support practices, and technology-integration strategies across departmental silos for enhancing learning effectiveness. They also suggested that learning environment is enhanced by improving university processes for online students. All participants shared the initial difficulties and challenges regarding searching for content and its preparation. It was interesting to find that many academics used and explored alternative software and platforms to make e-content compatible with the requirements. The tools used were ADOBE, Active presenter, Microsoft PowerPoint, Zoom, One note, WACOM writing Pads, NCH Screen Recorder, iMovie, Snagit, Recoil, Keynote, etc. Faculty discussed challenges of designing courses with complicated images, typical diagrams and equations. Faculty also discussed the challenges and solutions for conducting labs, specially the working / wet labs. Faculty used pre-recorded lab demonstrations followed by live demonstrations during actual lab sessions. The need of guidelines regarding the good practices for making the e-content was also emphasized. For delivery co-teaching/using TAs as cohosts helps the smooth running and maintaining discipline of the large sized classes (>100 students). Some faculty used a mixture of google classroom and zoom to effectively deliver the content. Periodic doubt sessions help to keep the students motivated and engaged as also Flipped Class. For assessment many faculty members suggested use of online platforms like Hacker rank, Google forms, Code Chef etc. An overwhelming number of participants were of the opinion that assessments should be flexible and not subject to a fixed, rigid structure as in the current situation. Some faculty members also used the Breakout room feature of Zoom for tutorials assessments. This allows you to split your Zoom meeting in up to 50 separate sessions. The meeting host can choose to split the participants of the meeting into these separate sessions automatically or manually, or they can allow participants to select and enter breakout sessions as they please. The host can switch between sessions at any time. Subjective Exams do not seem very feasible, since they lead to copying. Most members recommended the use of objective type assessments, particularly MCQs rather than descriptive examinations. Faculty appreciated the LMS platform, its easy access and user-friendly interface. Most of the faculty members were happy to use it for assignment submission, assessment and, various other communications with students. They highlighted several advantages of saving data on a real-time basis rather than after completing the assignment apart from having question banks and making assignments and quizzes in a more diverse way to segregate the grades of the students. Faculty emphasized the need of training for: e content design and creation, effective student engagement and interaction in online classes, design of effective online assessments, lab design and delivery. They also asserted the need of uniform guidelines including copy right issues to make good e-content. Faculty agreed that blended learning will be good aspect taking into consideration the present as well as future situation.

Pranav Gupta

The fifth batch of New Direction Program began from October 2020 onwards and will conclude in March 2021. 41 faculty members are participating in this program.

The quarterly Community of Practice (CoP) sessions were conducted for the faculty members who have completed the basic modules of the New Direction Program (NDP). During this ongoing pandemic, developing e-content and delivering lecture through online was only mechanism of teaching and learning. Keeping in view of these methodologies, the focus of the CoP sessions were

(a) E-Content preparation and quality
(b) Assessment in online environment.

Around 250 faculty members participated in these sessions during 14-17 September, 2020. Also, the advanced modules on these topics will commence in the month of November, 2020.

Thapar Institute Counselling Cell (TICC)

World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day

This quagmire that has the whole world turned upside-down, it’s all topsy-turvy. The continuous grapple with this foe that is not seen approaching, not knowing when it will attack, who will it attack? And, what is our defence plan when it does? They say that, ‘The greatest offence is the best defence’, but how to offend an enemy that cannot be seen or descried? Every step you take out of your home and every sigh of relief when you finally reach the warmth of your home, pushes you, to the extent that you no longer can discern the difference between a life that is normal and this ‘new-normal’. It is also a time in which we can capitalise on the resilience displayed by individuals and communities who relaunched, regenerated, and rediscovered themselves and their communities to be responsive during a time of crisis. For this very purpose, TIET, has provided you with your quintessential companion during this journey, the Thapar Institute Counselling Cell (TICC). On this World Mental Health Day (October 10, 2020) we at TICC invite you to join our call to action in highlighting the need for greater investment in mental health particularly during this global health emergency and thereafter. World Mental Health Day isn’t simply a one-day event. We need to start now and continue our call to ensure that no-one is left behind. Whether you have struggled with your own mental health, know someone who has been affected, or if you simply believe that investing in mental health is the right thing to do, move for mental health, and help make mental health care and support accessible for everyone. With these parting words, we now present advice from our college’s finest, Hon’ble Director Prof. Prakash Gopalan, respected Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. Inderveer Chana, and Dr. Sonam Dullat (Professional Student Counsellor, Thapar Institute Counselling Cell) and Ms. Garima Garg (Assistant Student Counsellor, Thapar Institute Counselling Cell).

TICC Counsellor delivered an Expert Talk

TICC Counsellor delivered an Expert Talk

Dr. Sonam Dullat, Professional Student Counsellor (Thapar Institute Counselling Cell) gave an Expert Talk on Mental Health Services in Indian Educational Systems organized by Mental Health Foundation (India) ACCESS SUMMIT to commemorate The World Mental Health Week and Day from 4th October 2020 to 11th October 2020, in association with All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi.

Gist of what talk was all about: Every student has different needs, but some, as marginalized identities in caste, religion, gender, and sexuality, face the larger brunt of it. As the uproar strengthens against online examination in schools and universities across the country in recent times, we believe it is time that we ignite active conversations to provide more empathetic, constructive, and methodical help to so many students with different needs, skills, passions, and capabilities required to realize their dreams through an education system that does not disregard individual limitations and experiences. To bring out the need for strong mental health infrastructure.

Establishing a strong foundation of 'mental health infrastructure' is crucial, more so amid the challenging scenario moving towards digitalisation.
