Education

National Seminar On "Adroitness in e-Content Development for Higher Education"

Education in the 21st century will find it difficult to survive without creating space for diversity within the curriculum as well as student & faculty bodies. The role of faculty will change from being an information provider to becoming a mentor, facilitator and co-learner. There was a time when the world was big and also slows in changing but time has come that the world is small and quick in wearing a new garb. The boundaries & the barriers among the nations have vanished. The whole world has shrunk into a small village. The process of globalization has brought people close to one another and as such, the challenges in life have multiplied. A student is no longer a citizen of his/her own land. S/He is a world citizen. So s/he has to be taught trained & developed from larger perspective of globalization. Information & Communication technology (ICT) an interdisciplinary domain focuses on providing student with the tools to transform their learning and to enrich their learning environment. Now a day we have number of ICT tools which we can use for professional development of teacher e.g. skype, Moodle, slide share, wikies, blogs etc. This paper also focused on various web 2.0 tools for 21st century teachers.
