A three-day virtual laboratory workshop was held for students, research scholars, staff and faculty members of the North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) as per mandate of the National Mission on Education through Information Technology.
The workshop was organised by the Department of Biomedical Engineering, NEHU with the help of resource persons from IIT, Roorkee and attended by over 100 participants from different departments of the university and outside.
The aim of the programme was to make participants learn about using online educational resources to fulfil their needs by overcoming the lack of infrastructure and physical equipment. They were trained in different fields of biomedical, electronics, mechanical, electrical and information technology through the virtual online laboratory resources.
Coordinator of the course, Dr. Dinesh Bhatia apprised the participants about the need of organising such programmes and how they can collaborate with partner institutes to enhance their learning, skills and making them job-oriented as per requirements of the industry.
The participants were encouraged to learn skills to develop such practical modules as per requirements of their respective region, so that maximum benefits could be provided to far-flung and remote places to fulfil the educational needs of schools, colleges and educational institutions.
The outline and requirements of the program was presented by Chetan and Jasbir Singh from IIT, Roorkee.
