- 3. What is meant by FDP According to ECAR Study of Faculty and Information Technology, 2017, faculty development program (FDP) must not merely focus on helping faculty teach with technology but help faculty to adopt learner-centered instructional design as a way to foster student success.
- 4. Student Centered Learning According to the article titled ‘Student-Centered Learning in Higher Education’ published in International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, ‘Learner-centered methods of content delivery allow students the opportunity to control their learning since they require students to take responsibility for their learning by being actively involved in the learning process rather than simply passively receiving information from a lecture (Slunt & Giancario, 2004)’.

- 6. Flexible learning environment Flexible learning environment (FLE) can be created when the instructor acts as facilitator. Flexible learning can be demonstrated when students are given options in one or more aspects of learning, such as timing, pace, place, content, assessment requirements or methods of study. Examples of FLE include • Flipped classroom (Technology enhanced classroom) • Pre assigning a topic and discussing by suggesting resource links • Self paced learning • Choice based curriculum
- 7. Learning Support Learning Support can be provided by suggesting •Resources in the form of links •Bookmarking •Resources in the form of apps
- 8. Collaborative Learning Environment Collaborative Learning Environment (CLE) Technology enhanced collaborative environments can be used so that learners and faculty can interact among and between themselves. Examples of CLE are Google Docs Mind Meister Institution LMSs
- 9. Learning Analytics Learning Analytics play a vital role in identifying student’s learning types and hence allow you to suggest a personalized learning environment for learners. Learning analytics can be realized from various types of assessments both onsite and online. By using Learning Record Store (LRS) and xAPI informal learning can also be assessed.

What needs to be done to offer effective classroom using blended mode of technology Now that I have explained what are the essential components of LCID and how it can be realized, we have to ensure that • faculties are trained in technology based tools and applications • they can design their content delivery as per LCID framework and impart instruction to students.
- 11. What needs to be done to offer effective classroom using blended mode of technology Hence faculty must be trained to offer • flipped classroom using technology, • usage and sharing of learning support resources • and CLEs for assignments and project work so that their expertise can be utilized in classroom to explain concepts or clarifying doubts of learners.
- 12. What needs to be done to offer effective classroom using blended mode of technology Finally the faculties must be trained to perform learning analytics to study their students’ learning types. We must ensure that faculty has not merely mastered these technology based tools, but trained to create instructional design too so that they can deliver the content in blended mode effectively.
