After digital classes, city colleges have now switched to virtual activities to keep students engaged during the lockdown period.
Teachers said online competitions and webinars were being organised to enhance the skills of students.
Recently, ‘E-volve’ was conducted by the department of commerce and management studies, DAV College, to motivate students to do something creative on the ‘Save Mother Earth’ theme.
Students are also being given options such as cooking, article writing, best ways to utilise time, best out of waste, slogan writing, poster making and online presentation.
The department head said besides keeping the students academically occupied through e-classes, efforts were being made to channelise the creative energy of the students. Around 130 students participated in the virtual event and the best entries were given prizes.
Similarly, the CT Institute of Architecture and Planning today conducted a webinar on ‘3DS max software’. The objective was to improve the software skills of the students, who also learnt the design interface of the software and a variety of tools, commands and options to design any 3D model with specific metric measurements.
Around 47 students of the architecture department attended the digital lecture.
Shruti H Kapur, HoD, Institute of Architecture and Planning, said the interaction was focused on a holistic development of students. Digital practicals would help them understand the implications in the field work.
MD, CT Group, Manbir Singh said digital learning platforms could be utilised immensely for keeping the students motivated during the lockdown.
