Use of innovative teaching strategies:
1. Extensive use of supplementary textual and visual material through handouts to transform the classrom into a collaborative, thinking, understanding and engaging space rather than a note-taking and idea imposition one. Use of mind maps to summarize, capture and evolve ideas circulating in the lecture.
2. Spoken and written expression explorartion and exercises built into the class room experience through seminars, peer-group discussions, presentations - joint as well as indiviudual and rigorously guided writing sessions.
3. Intensive use of digital technologies like social media, video-conferencing and online collaborative platforms as post class activities in order to disseminate a wide variety of reference materials and ensure continuity of the class room discussions and collaborations.
