learning, the workshops were facilitated by Ms Helen Dalton, Education Consultant

Institute, Sydney. The workshops were organized under the aegis of the IVI
Academy for Eyecare Educators working towards all-round faculty development.
“The content covered during the workshop was
very good. The workshop showed me where I stand and what I should do to
improvise and apply teaching and learning differently from the usual
traditional way.â€- Jasmine P. Charan, Giridhar Eye Institute, Cochin.
“We can develop a more confident and systematic
approach towards teaching, is what I gained from this workshop. The
methodologies discussed were very good. Activities conducted during the program
were useful.â€- John K.K, Dr.Joseph Marthoma Institute of Ophthalmology & Research
Centre, Kattanam.
