In spite of staying at home and maintaining social distance, Daffodil Institute of IT (DIIT) has taken a set of effective initiatives to survive in this situation. DIIT is engaging its students in the classroom and learning process through various online activities, such as- online classes, online Adda, Games, Quiz, teacher-student-parent meetings, feedback and response, training sessions etc. The Principal of the institute Dr. Mohammed Shakhawat Hossain, initiated the online teaching & learning systems considering the impact of study break that the students may face.
To ensure the quality of online classes DIIT has organized many workshop and training sessions on how to use the site, google classroom, online meeting tools, etc. The faculties also gave their effort to prepare themselves, took demo classes and shared their practical experiences and tips, before the actual implementation of the online activities.
