The main motive of this webinar was to have interaction of the students with DSWs, present the hostel’s current scenario and bring the hostel students at one platform. Another objective was to formally introduce them to the available MOOCs Platforms that can assist in the reading and learning process.
The event started with introduction to the New DSWs Prof S.K. Tomar (DSW) and Prof Sukhbir Kaur (DSW women). Prof Sukhbir addressed the students and gave them some tips how to boost your immune system by Ayurvedic and homeopathic means and told them the importance of being fit. Prof. Tomar addressed the students and asked them not to panic and gave them the assurance that the students will be updated about the university situations and decisions from time to time. He also asked the students to inculcate spirit of self-discipline during this difficult time. The introductory session was followed by lecture on MOOCs by Dr. Vishal Sharma, Swayam Coordinator of the Panjab University. He intorduced the faculty and students about online courses, their contents, structure and how it could be made part of our academic syllabi.
