Effective Classroom Management using Google Classroom
In view of the pandemic situation due to COVID-19, ZCOMS held an online session on using Google Classroom for effective course management which was attended by the faculty of FLAHS and ZCOMS and was also open for public.
The session was facilitated by Mr. Ata Syed and Mr. Latif Abbasi and covered strategy to effectively manage course content and assessments which would allow teachers to work effectively for online classes.
As a result of the lockdown imposed by the government in March 2020 all educational institutions were required to suspend their classes.
