A 3rd instructor training event was organized by Tribhuvan University on June 4, 23 at the Design Thinking Lab at the Center of Energy Studies (CES), Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University. The purpose of the event was to training instructors on the use of the lab equipment and the gathering of feedback on the lab’s usability.
Participants
The event was attended by 19 faculty members, instructors, research assistants, and staff, including both individuals that had participated in earlier ICT-INOV training events as well as new participants.
Description of activities
The program commenced with a warm welcome from Prof. Dr. Tri Ratna Bajracharya, the Director of the Center of Energy Studies. Following the welcome, each participant had the opportunity to briefly introduce themselves. The Director then provided an overview of the ICT-INOV project, highlighting the accomplishments thus far. He discussed the variety and quantity of equipment acquired through the project, as well as the available facilities in the lab. Additionally, he gave a comprehensive explanation of design thinking, the lab’s purpose, and the project’s objectives.
The main technical session was conducted by trainers from the equipment vendor company. They began by demonstrating the fundamental features and functions of communication devices and robotics development kits. As they guided the participants through each feature, they also trained them to address any queries that arose. Subsequently, they proceeded to showcase more advanced features of the system, including videoconferencing, remote access, app installation, and voting.
The session included a detailed question-and-answer period, during which the trainers responded to inquiries from the participants. Additionally, this provided an opportunity for the trainers to gather feedback. Finally, the training concluded with interactive discussions among the participants.
