In its relentless effort to exceeding the norm, the world class Chrisland University becomes bedrock for other institutions of learning to model.

The University, under the leadership of Professor Peace Babalola had on Wednesday all through Thursday welcomed a team of experts from University of Ibadan to dissect the needed pedagogical skills in teaching and learning process. 

The team, led by Professor Kola Babarinde, the Pioneer Director of Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, University of Ibadan unveiled the pedagogical skills in teaching and learning process.

The Professor of Philosophy and Sociology of Education pinpointed the need for the adaptation of new teaching methodology, following the departure of teaching from “from sage to stage” phase.

While feeding questions from CEOAfrica, Professor Babarinde gratified the need for teaching because “Knowledge rules the world. And the teachers are the ones to impact”, adding that, “for teaching to be effective, it has to be done properly”

He thereby urged Chrisland University lecturers that “All the skills, competences and values you have acquired in this 2-day workshop are things you need to start implementing immediately.

“They are not things to be postponed.”

Professor Babarinde thereby qualified the audience (lecturers) as “interesting”.

“Sometimes, you mount a workshop, and the audience is lethargic, it’s not so interested.

“These ones are interesting. And I believe the Vice Chancellor herself is dragging this. She’s been participating too,” he added.

Another member of the Team, Dr. T.O. Akinola did unveil with ease what people tend to find difficult, just with his dexterous prowess.

He said, “As technology has taken a tow on the phase of the world, the lecturers also need to be digital and creative in the teaching delivery”.

He also pinpointed that “the lecturers need to be technologically sound, because the learners they are dealing with are very digital in operation”.

Following this, he taught the adequate use of “Hot Potatoes” for the creation of all forms of Computer Based Test.

“The digital age needs digital teaching,” he dissolved.

Speaking with CEOAfrica, some of the lecturers lauded remarkable testimonies from the life changing workshop, and acknowledged Chrisland University with its distinctive move to being a world class.

The VC, Professor Peace Babalola gratified the facilitators for honouring their invitation, and also the staff for participating, irrespective of their qualifications.

She thereby affirmed that “if not all, some of the methods that were stated by the facilitators will be used in Chrisland University”.

CEOAfrica recalls that the organization of this workshop was one of the VC’s 7-POINT Agenda when she assumed office.

The participants were thereby given their certificates, and set to start implementing their new experiences in being a world class.
