The Project will facilitate exchange of best practice, experience and knowledge in undergraduate teaching and learning, using technology enhanced approaches relevant to India’s context. This will be achieved through sharing skills and exchange of best practice in undergraduate education, sharing innovative pedagogies and assessment techniques and exploring their use in Indian institutions. It will engage a wide range of policy-makers, academicians, students and practitioners through debates, conferences and workshops, working closely with the Government of India and drawing on EU experience and expertise, for wider benefit and sustainable systemic change.
