Dr. P.J. A. Alphonse, Head, Dept. of Computer Applications, reinforced that this course is the need of the hour as faculty and students transition into online learning with available resources. The next
batch will include the faculty of the engineering colleges in and around trichy and faculty of the institutions covered under the margadharshan scheme.

participants as a tool to aid in synchronous and asynchronous learning. The other software included tools for student engagement in class, learning material generation such as quiz, mindmap, video,
audio and animation. Game-based learning software was demonstrated.

certificate of completionThe course ended with the demonstration of the participants of a
virtual class using the softwares learned. Faculty from 17 different disciplines ranging from Journalism to Psychology to Science attended this course. They were systematically trained in blended mode of
