At Amal Campus, we recognize the immense potential of ICT-enabled tools in enhancing teaching effectiveness and fostering a dynamic learning environment. This report aims to highlight the various ICT tools utilized by our teachers to facilitate an engaging and effective teaching and learning process.

Our Moodle platform, accessible at www.moodle.amalcollege.ac.in, serves as a centralized hub for course materials, assignments, quizzes, and enables efficient communication between teachers and students. The integration of Moodle empowers teachers to supplement classroom teaching with online resources and interactive activities.
E-Governance Mobile Application: Amal Campus has implemented an advanced ERP software called ‘Embase Pro-suite’ to automate various academic activities. This e-governance mobile application streamlines processes such as admission, attendance tracking, internal assessments, and fee payments.

These tools enable the seamless conduct of virtual classes, webinars, and remote guest lectures. The active utilization of video conferencing tools ensures continuous engagement and effective knowledge dissemination, particularly during off-campus hours.
Online Collaboration Tools: To foster collaborative learning, Amal Campus employs tools such as Google Docs and Microsoft OneNote. These online collaboration tools enable students to collaborate on group projects, share documents, provide feedback, and work together in real-time. Through platforms like Google Drive, students submit and scrutinize final year projects, promoting effective teamwork and enhancing critical thinking skills.
