Dear Dinesh,
Thanks for the reply. You very well have quoted the point of education and training. Well let me just explain you something more about the product and my job.In our traditional education system in schools, using laptops, or interactive boards still are rare. And also, the teachers are reluctant to use them as they are alien to these products because of the fear of using technology. My company has introduced software which would aid students learning through audio visual methods.Also, it has features which enables teachers to eliminate the usage of paper and switch completely to the software for all her tasks. Now to support that software proper hardware needs to be installed like, interactive board,a laptop,projector etc.My job is to basically train the teachers to use all of these.
I have created a module wherein my focus is to first eliminate all the apprehensions they carry. Then I gradually move on to the basics. For eg : Connecting a laptop to the projector. Thereafter,I introduce them to the actual software which has the same textbook contents which they use along with some animations and various other features like making question papers,attendance,quizzes etc. Now to reinforce all these things, I have made a few activities which would also encourage interaction. My concern is that after all this effort I need to know whether this would be effectively put to use. In schools, after the school hours teachers are very impatient to attend any sort of training session. Maximum I can do is, take a feedback but how do I measure the effectiveness in the time constraint?
PS : I am not myself sure if the effectiveness is measurable here as I am conducting such sessions for the first time.
Kindly help.
