Similarities in teaching methodology of ‘The khan academy’ and Prof. Dr. Mandi(by Rana Surjeet_127_Sec B)

Two sides of a coin:

The Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization, created in 2006 by Bangladeshi American educator Salman Khan, a graduate of MIT and Harvard Business School. With the stated mission of "providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere", the website supplies a free online collection of more than 3,200 micro lectures via video tutorials stored on YouTube teaching mathematics, history, healthcare and medicine, finance, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, economics, cosmology, organic chemistry, American civics, art history, macroeconomics and microeconomics, and computer science.

The Maha Mandi, the brain child of Dr. Mandi is a Socio-Marketing Field Event conducted annually by the MiG (Marketing Interest Group,NITIE) . Participants sell educational toys from our partner NGOs engaged in upliftment of underprivileged women and children.

Dr. Mandi’s teaching methodology says:

‘Student Driven’ rather than‘ Teacher driven’.

Students are supposed to  take full responsibility for their  learning.

Students are expected show enthu and initiative  in learning the subject.

Faculty opt to act as facilitator. Responsibility for learning  lies with the students.

Teaching methodology used by:

1)Salman Khan

 

 

2)Prof. Dr. Mandi

Learning spread across boundaries via blogs.

                                                                                               

Learning through simple but intellectually awakening videos  

Learning through group tasks making learning easy.

Learning the very essence of     team-work through valley-crossing live exercise

Applying all the learning through all the possible means as put into work by Dr. Mandi into application on the day of 

MAHA MANDI!!!

 First hand practical learning experience

 

So, as we can easily see the similarities between the initiation of both the non-profit work by the two great men whose results can be easily measured in terms of the social work that they do along with a sense of responsibility for the society and environment as a whole is commendable.

So, lets gear up for the biggest learning MELA of our life called the MAHA MANDI 2014 this august!!
