Animation as Digital Resource for Teaching and Learning

In today’s evolving educational landscape, teaching methodologies are no longer confined to traditional classroom settings. Technology integration in education has led to innovative approaches that support the holistic development of learners. One such powerful tool is animation, which not only enhances comprehension of complex concepts but also makes learning more engaging and enjoyable for students. By presenting visual representations of various topics, animation as an educational resource transforms the learning experience into something more dynamic and effective.

Animation in education is gaining popularity due to its ability to simplify and clarify intricate ideas. Whether explaining a scientific process or illustrating a historical event, animated videos bring subjects to life, making them more accessible and interesting for students. This blend of entertainment and education through animated eLearning videos particularly appeals to today’s tech-savvy students, who often prefer short, informative, and engaging content over traditional lectures.

To empower educators and stakeholders with the skills necessary to harness the potential of animation in teaching, CIET-NCERT is organizing a five-day online training program titled “Animation as Digital Resource for Teaching and Learning.” This training will take place from 16th to 20th September 2024 (English version) and from 23rd to 27th September 2024 (Hindi version), from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm each day.

Aligned with the overarching goals of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, this training not only focuses on the technical aspects of creating and using animations but also emphasizes the pedagogical benefits these digital tools can offer. By fostering a deeper understanding of animation as an educational resource, the training aims to enhance educators' ability to create engaging, student-centered learning environments that meet the needs of today’s digital-native students.
