Implementation of New Pedagogy

The new pedagogy demands that teacher and learner work in a partnership mode and

• Master the content• Define what the new knowledge must have• Work towards achieving the goal• Refine and mention the advantages of new

knowledgee.g. I created a project titled ‘Role of Physics in

Medical Science’

e.g. for Implementation of New Pedagogy

Years back, when I took upon this project, surprisingly the computer science students joined the project with enthusiasm.

Since both of us (myself n students) were not much familiar with Biology, decided

• what should be realized (goal), • how should the project be done and • worked as a team to implement the project and • identified the usefulness of the project You can access the details of the project by reading the article

titled ‘Recollecting Effective Pedagogy that Promoted Deep Learning’ at LinkedIn Pulse.

Incorporating Deep Learning in Training

• Unsupervised pre-training -http://jmlr.org/papers/volume11/erhan10a/erhan10a.pdf

• Examples, practice sessions (http://www.slideshare.net/0xdata/deep-learning-through-examples)

• Digital story telling

Can we make nano /micro learning sub sets of deep learning?

Story based micro module approach in training to enhance deep learning can be implemented by

• Designing Engaging Webinars• Aiming for the high-impact moments in training technical, software,

compliance and other topics• Offering technical knowledge with sporadic experiences• Creating impressive small bites and chunks of ideas that matter• Finding the right interactive story: incidents, trouble-shooting,

problem-solving, cases, workarounds, etc.• Adding the story types: analogy, humor, meme, metaphor, simile

etc.• Making presentations come alive with characters and visualization
