Centre for Teaching and Learning

Welcome to The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL)

The Centre for Teaching & Learning (CTL), Vishwakarma University has been established in the year 2022. The Centre for Teaching & Learning (CTL) will create an umbrella under which a holistic development of skill-sets & innovative mindsets will flourish. We would provide all the necessary support to Vishwakarma University in achieving benchmarks in Teaching-Learning & Research-Innovation. A significant change is required in the teaching-learning methodology, which is also an integral part of the National Education Policy (NEP2020) now. The Centre for Teaching and Learning will form the link between the emerging demands of students and teaching-learning strategies. CTL aims to enrich and modernise Vishwakarma University’s collective teaching and learning community, to build existing skills & develop innovative teaching methodologies.

Vision

Mission

To inculcate an environment of multidisciplinary education
To foster innovative teaching-learning methodologies
To bridge the gap between academia and industry and make education more employable

CTL Objectives

Effective implementation of New Education Policy

The new education policy is made keeping in mind access, affordability, equity, quality and accountability of education. It focuses on giving students the freedom to choose from a basket of courses offered at the university level, thus not restricting them to one specific specialisation. The Centre for Teaching & Learning would help revamp the curriculum, pedagogy and assessment methodology.

Overlook overall teaching and learning processes at the university level

With the advent of short-term and long-term courses on online platforms, universities need to upgrade themselves to remain relevant. The Centre for Teaching & Learning observes, assesses and makes recommendations for teaching and learning processes at Vishwakarma University.

Find tools, devices and activities that can catalyse and augment the learning process

Teaching is no longer limited to textbooks and classrooms and indeed it should not be. With the changing time, education has become practical and hands-on and has gone beyond classrooms. For this very reason, the Centre for Teaching & Learning strives to keep education at pace with changing times as well as encourage education in order to impart knowledge.

Facilitating Multidisciplinary Research

Having very diverse departments under one umbrella is an advantage for the university as it provides a multi-disciplinary approach to problem-solving. We encourage various departments to conduct collaborative research that brings a variety of expertise.

Bridging the gap between Academia & Industry

Employers in the industry sector keep iterating that one of the major challenges for employability of graduate students is their academic structure is not coincident with the set of skills required at the industry level. This gap has to be bridged in order to make students more suitable for the industry.

Womens Day Celebration

The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) at Vishwakarma University celebrated International Womens Day with a heartwarming event that brought together the talented women staff of the university. The event, held on March 8, 2023, at the Main Building Auditorium on the 2nd floor, was a celebration of empowerment, unity, and self-care.

The event also served as a platform for women staff to come together, celebrate their achievements, and appreciate the talents that they bring to the university community. By uniting women from various departments and roles, the celebration highlighted the importance of mutual support and encouragement.
