for faculty development
The educators in the Indian higher education sector currently not only need to be adept at using technology, but the future also requires them to break the current mould and reimagine their skills. Educators need to revamp the teaching practices because the current set of students are looking for a more engaged class environment with experiential learning-based education capable of imparting data-driven decision-making cognitive skills and multi-disciplinary education with varied skill sets, which may include managing virtual teams.
The Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Development (CTLD) at BML Munjal University is a new-age Centre of Excellence that supports and accredits the academic and professional development of new and in-service faculty members, enhancing the experience of learners in higher education.
The Centre provides a dynamic forum for a community of competent, thoughtful practitioners to share ideas and to develop a discourse through which to reflect upon teaching, learning and academic practice and experience and to challenge each other’s thinking in a supportive and committed environment. It also helps faculty members to situate themselves within the wider frames and concerns of their department, discipline, and institution and to advance their professional achievements and aspirations.
VISION
CTLD is recognised for inspiring the innovative use of technology in education because it engages and stimulates modern learners like nothing else. CTLD seeks to instil a culture of offering transformational experiences to the learners, commencing with an inquiry-based teaching approach, igniting curiosity, and making them lifelong learners.
MISSION
The Centre for Teaching and Learning enhances the mission of excellence in the teaching and learning environment at the University. It advances the continuous professional development of new and in-service faculty members by providing opportunities to leverage technology for scholarly and innovative approaches to an active teaching and learning culture within the university. It also aims to foster collaboration with national and international educational centres to facilitate research in effective pedagogies and disseminate good practices amongst the teaching fraternity for community benefit.
