Center for e-Content Development
The Beginning of a New Era – Windows to the Digital World
|
Chavara Computer Centre was started in 1990 at Sacred Heart College, catering to the needs of the times for both staff and students. In tune with the current advancements in ICT enabled teaching learning processes, Sacred Heart College initiated a Virtual Learning Centre (VLC), late in 2008. It had a modest start by introducing a media-equipped learning centre called the Marian Hall (Gallery 1). Lately, the college is in the process of developing E-learning modules which is proving to be beneficial for faculty as well as students |

Student assignments and seminars, in some cases, are also being done through smart boards. PPT presentation, accessing internet became a part of their ICT enabled teaching learning process.
