"Education must, be not only a transmission of culture but also a provider of alternative views of the world and a strengthener of the will to explore them."    

Jerome Bruner

Constructive learning is not only about learning-teaching process of but aims at nurturing learners to become responsible citizens of the society. Along with reinventing the content, it has become important was us to reinvent ourselves. All our CIDTL sessions take place in classrooms, with circular or small group seating arrangements. Computer labs are used as and when required. Active learning  strategies are used wherein learners construct their own knowledge and create a shared knowledge base.
Let me share some excerpts from the reflections of our participants.

"In my workplace I tried addressing the auditory learners by using discussions which went off well. ...I reflected upon how a quiz after a class might help all learners and also how a two hour class would not be boring with only the teacher talk dominating the class." Divya S

"Efforts sre on to read Blooms taxonomy gain and again; have known the difference between assessment and evaluation....this finally leads to planning and there is a continuous effort done by each one of us" Uma Chaudhary
