E- content development workshop

Information technology and the Internet are major drivers of research, innovation, growth and social change. The growth in Internet has brought changes in all walks of life including the education. .E-content includes all kinds of content created and. delivered through various electronic media... E-content requires huge amounts of creativity both at 'information' level as well as the 'technology' level.

Quality of teaching and students' learning are determined by the teachers who teach them. Well trained teachers with required knowledge, skills and commitment can develop scientific and critical thinking, promote tolerance, and develop cultural and social values in them. Innovative technologies will make it possible to achieve these by providing new ways to teachers. But these new technologies are placing more demands on teachers to learn how to use them in their teaching and learning processes. This great transformation is posing challenges to teachers and teacher educators in using technologies in creative and productive ways. Hence, we as teachers have to meet these new challenges by continuously acquiring new knowledge and skills to discharge our duties effectively.

Break The Chain - 3

The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown an unprecedented challenge for mental health across the country. The possibility of getting infected with COVID-19, an illness with no clear defined treatment protocols and uncertain outcomes has shaken the world. With the illness now spreading in different parts of the country, the existing health care systems are really stretched. As the battle becomes long-drawn, the health care workers (HCWs) in the frontline have become particularly vulnerable to mental stress. Worries about risk of infection to self and their families, adequacy of protection, long working hours, being in quarantine/isolation, and separation from families can lead to severe psychological distress among health professionals. If not effectively recognised and treated, such stress can transform into more persistent illness, even leading suicidal thoughts and feelings. Psychological difficulties have been consistently linked to reduced competency at work and the stress faced at work can worsen mental distress.

Studies on mental health interventions in the work place have reported best effectiveness for mental health promotion and prevention strategies. Work places are an optimal setting to create a culture of fostering mental health. Organisations have established communication structures, policies and support networks which can be utilised to improve mental health awareness.
