Hi all,

Resources and materials are an important element in the teaching/learning process. Educators should always plan to create resources with consideration the different type of themes that they present, learners’ age, their interest and needs. I have been creating resources nearly two years since we started our program and I believe effective resources can motivate the learners to be active and engaged in the learning process.

During my experience in the training department in the bank I realized that my mentor did not use any interesting or effective resources except some long presentations! I think having brief and short presentations are better than the long ones.

Therefore, I believe our role as educational technologists in the department was very helpful where we created various types of teaching/learning materials for different courses using our IT skills that we learnt at the college. I was also sad because we did not have the opportunity to use any new software that can be related to the Bank and their system.
