JSS College of Arts, Commerce and Science, Ooty Road, Mysuru-25 is organizing a NAAC-sponsored Online Two Day National Level Conference on Teaching, Learning and Evaluation Methods: Traditional to Blended Approaches on 11 and 12 July 2022. The conference was inaugurated virtually by Prof. Ved Prakash, Former Chairman, of UGC, MHRD, New Delhi who in his keynote address expressed that understanding the philosophy of the subject is very important in order to know the progress of knowledge. A student before studying the subject/ course must know the importance, limitations, and learning aspects of that subject, and also they should compare it with other subjects so that they get a complete picture of the subject. He further emphasized that certain academic standards should be laid in higher education institutions to achieve success in teaching-learning and stressed that this has to be implemented as early as possible. To bring this into practice, such an approach is required which encompasses interest, scope, learning outcomes, pedagogical tools, and performance of students and teachers in the subject so that the real potential of every student can be measured. Finally, he called upon all the stakeholders to take the right decision at the right time to make the students to be ready to face the competitive world. This can be done effectively by incorporating specific values in teaching-learning.
Presiding over the inaugural program, Prof. G. Hemantha Kumar, Vice Chancellor, University of Mysore stressed the significance of NEP-2020 in the present-day scenario and how it is going to help students in the future to develop the skills and also to get employed. Continuing the speech, he said that by making in-person and online learning complementary, blended learning creates a truly integrated classroom where the needs of all types of learners can be met. Keeping students engaged, stimulated, and motivated also helps teachers to be more effective and make more significant gains with their students.
