This page contains various time-indexed video resources that have been curated from various workshops conducted by the CETE (and the former EdTech vertical) during the past several years. As the world migrates into next-generation blended and hybrid modes of education, instructors around the world are innovating newer and more immersive ways of engaging their students. Blended learning refers to the amalgamation of self-paced learning through study material provided by the instructor (asynchronous mode) and live discussions and interactions with the instructor at designated times (synchronous mode). These workshops on blended learning aim to provide our faculty members and teaching assistants exposure to the necessary tools and techniques that could be useful for both remote and in-person learning to create an engaging and seamless teaching-learning experience.
