Educational technology is important because it helps today's teachers to integrate new technologies and tools into their classrooms. This allows a student to flip the notion of a classroom on his/her head by choosing when and where to learn. Video lectures, recordings, and digital resources make it possible for students to learn at their own pace. The walls of the classrooms are no longer a barrier as technology enables new ways of learning, communicating, and working collaboratively. Technology has also begun to change the roles of teachers and learners. This paper discusses the systematic five-step teaching-learning process for effective engagement in the class. These five steps - The Instructional Process, Modular Design, and Course Delivery, Creating a Lively classroom, Employing technology and Assessment are proven processes, and, an effective implementation of the same yielded very good results in terms of enhancement of the skills and overall development of the students' learning perspectives. Giving varied assignments to different groups based on their interest, had a spike in exhibiting their potential. Assessment through rubrics increased the clarity for students to perform and present their work effectively. This was implemented for the computer networks course for CSE branch students and Biomedical Instrumentation and Digital Health course for Biotechnology branch. The impact and results were amazing. There was an overall development of their knowledge and skills.

Abstract


Educational technology is important because it helps today's teachers to integrate new technologies and tools into their classrooms. This allows a student to flip the notion of a classroom on his/her head by choosing when and where to learn. Video lectures, recordings, and digital resources make it possible for students to learn at their own pace. The walls of the classrooms are no longer a barrier as technology enables new ways of learning, communicating, and working collaboratively. Technology has also begun to change the roles of teachers and learners. This paper discusses the systematic five-step teaching-learning process for effective engagement in the class. These five steps - The Instructional Process, Modular Design, and Course Delivery, Creating a Lively classroom, Employing technology and Assessment are proven processes, and, an effective implementation of the same yielded very good results in terms of enhancement of the skills and overall development of the students' learning perspectives. Giving varied assignments to different groups based on their interest, had a spike in exhibiting their potential. Assessment through rubrics increased the clarity for students to perform and present their work effectively. This was implemented for the computer networks course for CSE branch students and Biomedical Instrumentation and Digital Health course for Biotechnology branch. The impact and results were amazing. There was an overall development of their knowledge and skills.
