Teaching Learning Initiatives by Faculties:

• Good quality academic planning and monitoring is an essential element in providing a consistent response to ensure a sustainable future for the students and hence for the Institute. Naturally, it is important that the academic planning and monitoring process is consistent and well understood by the stakeholder, equally important is the monitoring of overall performance.

Pedagogical initiatives:

• Course outlines of all subjects and timetables planned for the forthcoming semester are shared with students well in advance before the commencement date of the semester, as given in the academic calendar. Course outlines are prepared by the designated faculty members as per their specialization, followed by a rigorous process of suggestions and validations from the subject experts and the Head.
• Course Outlines have all the relevant details about the courses, like textbook reference, details of assignments, ABCAS activities, session plans, as well as the session learning outcomes (SLOs), pedagogies to follow to deliver the course, assessment tools and their weightage, etc. Instructors share various course-related materials with students from time to time to enhance their knowledge, like case studies, important article notes, PPT, etc.ITM has developed two types of pedagogical methodology, before COVID-19 and during COVID-19.

Before Covid-19 Pandemic

• Before COVID-19 everything was in offline mode and the faculty used both chalk and board and audio-visual aids in teaching. Students were always encouraged to interact during the lecture hour for clarification. The faculty was using the following pedagogical tools for effective teaching-learning:

1. Interactive Classrooms:

Classrooms are well equipped with a projector and wi-fi so that use of the internet is possible for better projection of real corporate examples through external videos.

2. Activity-Based Continuous Assessment System (ABCAS):

For a continuous assessment of students focusing on improving their communication skills, individual and teamwork, and professional ethics, the department conducts an Activity-Based Continuous Assessment System (ABCAS) that includes.

a. Open book test b. Case Study c. PPT Presentation/ Poster Presentation d. Simulation work/Market Survey e. Group Discussion
3. Flipped Classroom:

Flipped technology which is student-centered teaching is practiced. It encourages students to think out-of-the-box ideas. Adapting to this teaching and learning methodology enables the students to effectively show interest and involve themselves in learning.

4. Project-Based Learning (PBL):

The department acknowledges the sufficient exposure of the students to project management, teamwork, and communication skills. In the MBA program as per curriculum, the student has to submit two PBL, one is SIP-Summer Internship Project in the III semester and another one is Major Research Project in the IV semester.

1. Summer Internship Project:

The university curriculum offers a Summer Internship Project (SIP), which forms an important component of management education at the PG level. It is an effort to bridge the gap in students’ perceptions between theory in books and practice in the corporate world. As a part of SIP, students undertake a 45-60-day internship at any organization or company during the intervening period between the close of Semester II and the commencement of Semester III.

Every student will be allotted a Faculty Guide at the commencement of the SIP. The role of the Faculty Guide is to enable the student to undertake a meaningful project, offer the necessary academic guidance, and facilitate evaluation, with the aid of the company executives. The faculty guide would be involved at all stages of the SIP, beginning from ‘definition of the work content’ to project completion.

The training and placement cell of ITM assists students in getting internships in the best companies.

1. Major Research Project
   1.  As per the university curriculum, each student has to prepare a major research project in the 4th semester under the guidance of faculty.
   2. Project work shall have the following stages:
   3. A certificate of the project work shall be obtained from the faculty guide for project work completion. It shall be included in the project report.
2. Identification of projects and allocation methodology to Faculty Members 
• The group of students (3-4) needs to give a research paper review of their choice in front of the PBL coordinator and faculty guide.
• After brainstorming sessions with students, their project area will be decided.
• Faculty expertise is used to assign a guide/mentor.
• After topic finalization, students submit their synopsis, which is the first phase of the presentation.
5. Collaborative learning:

During Covid-19 Pandemic

Due to COVID-19, quality education, particularly classroom teaching, has been seriously crippled. Therefore, the academic planning and monitoring process needed to be consistent, and the students are well versed in the same. To impart quality education the academic planning during the COVID-19 pandemic is based on the following objectives:

a. To provide quality education having learning outcomes for students. b. To access courses intuitively through Learning Management System (LMS)-Moodle c. To provide good quality of course content (Interactive Video Lectures, Webinars, Notes, PPT’s, ABCAS and PBL activities, online quizzes, etc.) which helps students in their endless pursuit of knowledge.
9. Learning Management System (LMS)

LMS is an online platform that can be viewed as a virtual campus for education. It provides access to lectures(webinars) and activities in an online mode. Students can access recorded video lectures, webinars, and other materials from anywhere on their laptops, tablets, or any android platform. In addition to online teaching, almost all campus features are available on LMS (developed in-house), which is also known as TATTVA-LMS (virtual campus). It is accessed through the URL www.lms.itmgoi.in.

Evaluation Process

Internal Assessment is based on:

• Mid Term (Done 2 times/semester)
• Assignments/ABCAS Attendance (Fortnightly basis)
• Class Participation
• PBL (III and IV semester)

Laboratories

The institute has a well-developed IT infrastructure with sufficient laboratories and computational facilities. The  availability of IT infrastructure is much above what is mandated by the AICTE.
