Over 500 faculty members from various engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka attended a teacher training workshop on ‘E-learning: challenges and opportunities’ organised by Sri Krishna College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore, in association with All India Council for Technical Education(AICTE) and British Council on Friday.
The programme was organised under SWAYAM-Free Online Education, a government initiative to help students who do not have access to the digital world.
Anil D. Sahasrabudhe, Chairman, AICTE, stressed the need for connecting education and technology and both staying independent would not produce the desired results.
