This workshop was conducted under the leadership of Ms. Mahendri N.V., Head of Dietetics, with an objective to expose M.Sc. Nutrition students to the field of Hospital Dietetics and Food Service Management Studies. They were taken through the dietitian’s role in the process of nutrition care and intervention. Forty postgraduate nutrition students from Avinashilingam College, Coimbatore, and DKM College, Vellore, participated and responded with encouraging feedback.
Self-Learning Module Workshop for CMC Staff The skill of writing self-learning modules is one that is helpful for any department seeking to launch a course on a distance platform. The Distance Education Unit conducted a one-day workshop on writing Self-Learning Modules (SLM) on 10th November, 2016, with a close look at concepts such as developing a road map for a module, learning how to write and develop content and the use of pictures and graphics in a module. There were also sessions geared towards Adult Learning Principles, Teaching and Learning Methods and Assessments for the Adult Learner. This workshop, which was open to any staff member, brought in a total of 19 participants from various departments including Anatomy, Dental, Development Office, Distance Education, Endocrinology, Endocrine Surgery, Hospital Management / Staff Training, Infection Control, Palliative Care and Transfusion Medicine. The hope is that this will facilitate many departments of CMC to contribute significantly to the considerable training needs outside the institution, leveraging the abundant expertise existing within these departments, toward wider health transformation in the nation.
