Advance pedagogy is the way to enhance teaching and learning performance. Different innovative teaching methods are now in use across the globe. Hybrid teaching includes e-learning in addition to the face to face teaching. Use of technology and multimedia is described in details. Use of smart gadgets for different tasks like teaching, designing question papers, assessment of student, feedback and research methodology is discussed. The application of innovative teaching and learning methods is critical if we are to motivate and engender a spirit of learning as well as enthusiasm on the part of students, The role of education is to ensure that while academic staffs do teach, what is taught should also be intelligible to students emanating from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and that they rapidly become familiar with the expected standards. It is more often than not the case that students underachieve because of the fact that they have not grasped an awareness of the level of assessment or what it is that the lecturer expects from them. Lecturers should thus apply themselves to utilizing innovative methods so that the students' learning process is as free-flowing as possible and that the methodology they adopt is conducive to learning. Innovative teaching and learning methodologies such as short lecture, simulation, role-playing, portfolio development and problem-based learning (PBL) are very useful in addressing the rapid technological advances and developing workplaces that will be required in the foreseeable future.

Some students may struggle to understand the contents of courses with intensive conceptual content and problem-solving, especially when the courses are offered online. Offering courses online may present challenges such as technological issues, time management, and a lack of interaction with instructors. This paper investigates the effect of using educational videos and recorded lectures on students enrolled learning and performance. A questionnaire survey was conducted among students in the "Engineering Economics" course at an international institution for pre-engineering students before they chose their specialization. The survey was conducted during the Fall 2021 semester (before the coronavirus pandemic) and the "Spring 2022" semester (during the pandemic). The performance of students during the "Spring 2022" semester was compared with their performance during the "Fall 2021" semester, when students relied solely on face-to-face lectures. During the "Spring 2022" semester, educational videos and recorded lectures were made available to students. Analysis results revealed that students had a positive perception towards the use of educational videos and recorded lectures. Students' feedback regarding watching videos and recorded lectures was quite positive and enhanced their performance in the course. A generic VBA framework was developed to suggest educational videos and recorded lectures relevant to selected course topics. An initial pilot test of this tool received very positive feedback from students.
A NOVEL APPROACH OF MULTIMEDIA INSTRUCTION APPLICATIONS IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION
Effective use of educational technology depends on knowledge of why and how to utilize technology to solve teaching and learning problems. The present study first conducts a systematic literature review of the limited studies undertaken on multimedia instruction applications for engineering education to critique the current status of knowledge in this area. The conventional qualitative content analysis method was employed for data analysis. The results highlighted the incompatibility of three basic educational elements i.e. engineering curriculum, educational resources and engineering students' learning characteristics all of which posed major challenges in teaching and learning engineering courses. Multimedia instruction enhances engineering students' understanding of engineering concepts, procedures, problems and solutions through direct visualization. Furthermore, it could indirectly assist students in achieving higher order learning levels and skills through enhancing or supporting educational resources and increasing students' motivation. Mobile multimedia instruction and a student-generated multimedia learning approach to improve engineering education are suggested for future research.
Redefining Quality in Engineering Education through the Flipped Classroom Model
Procedia Computer Science, 2020
The students in engineering institutes are expected to be tech-savvy and have an appetite for technology-based learning. Sadly, most of the courses in the current Indian engineering education scenario are taught using straight lectures where students are made to play a passive role while the teacher takes the center stage. The need of the hour is to get the students out of this passive mode of learning and bring them to the forefront in the teaching-learning cycle. Most often than not, teachers utilize the class time teaching technical intricacies that are crucial to solving problems which leave very little time to do anything else. Hence, the onus falls on the students to apply the learning in the class to solve problems on their own outside the classroom which is far from ideal. The flipped class is a model wherein much of the technical content is delivered outside the classroom via a virtual platform which in turn makes the classroom a congenial place for discussions, problem-solving and promoting active learning in the presence of the teacher. Through this paper, a study has been conducted to bring in this modern technology into engineering education. The objective is to analyze the power of technology in teaching courses that require significant work beyond class hours. The flipped classroom model was applied on 32 final year Post Graduate students through the Android Mobile Application Development course. A fundamental topic was chosen that forms the base to build sophisticated Android Apps. Since it was very difficult to grasp the topic at one go, the class was flipped so that the students get ample time to go through the learning resources and come well prepared for the class. To begin with, the students were given the task of going through a lecture video from one of the NPTEL courses on Modern Application Development. However, the video shared was 22 minutes long and to simplify the learning experiences of students, a 3-minute Introductory video on the course content was shot and posted on the course website so that the students could first go through it before going into the actual learning material. During the lecture hour, an active learning strategy based on In-Class Teams was leveraged to drive home learning. Practicing a disruptive tool like the flipped classroom model shifts the focus from the teacher to the students and assists in restoring the balance. By flipping the class, the students are expected to go through learning material employing self-study and then come prepared for the deliberations in the class.

The objectives of this Classroom Action Research were to determine: (1) increase student activity during the learning process of Microprocessors and Microcontrollers by applying the Problem Based Learning model at SMK Negeri 2 Pematangsiantar, (2) increase student learning outcomes in Microprocessor and Microcontroller learning by applying the Problem Based Learning model at SMK Negeri 2 Pematangsiantar. This research was conducted at SMK Negeri 2 Pematangsiantar for 1 month starting from August 2019. The subjects of this study were 22 students of class X1 TAV 1. The action in this study consisted of two cycles, namely Cycle I and Cycle II. Cycle I was carried out using the Problem Based Learning model. The results of the first cycle showed that 45.63% of students were active and the mean score of vocational competence students for Microprocessor and Microcontroller was still 56.82. However, these results do not meet the action indicators, namely 75% of students get a value > 75, then second cycle II is carried out. Cycle II carried out the same application. In cycle II 84.38% of students are active, and the average value of vocational competence for Microprocessors and Microcontrollers increases to 80.27. So it can be concluded that the learning process using the Problem Based Learning model can increase the activeness and ability of students in learning vocational competencies in Audio Video Engineering. The implication is that teachers must apply innovative and creative learning models. And it is suggested that Electronics Engineering teachers can improve their teaching skills to be more communicative and active in participating in various pieces of training.
