RK University is an education hub offering courses in Pharmacy, Ayurveda, Science, Engineering, Physiotherapy, Agriculture and Management. This provides great opportunities to students as well as faculties for interdisciplinary learning.

One such opportunity was recently grabbed by students and faculties of School of Pharmacy, where they completed online certificate courses on Introduction to Computers & Libre Office Writer, offered by IIT-Bombay, which is a unique advantage since RK University has an MoU with IIT-Bombay.

Objective:

• To improve basic knowledge of Computer Applications
• To inculcate formatting skills for word document.

Activity:

Eighty students across all semesters of B. Pharm. and six faculties enrolled for both the courses. They were provided videos of both the courses on Canvas Learning Management System of RKU since March. Online exam was on 18th and 19th April 2019. The courses were co-ordinated by Mr. Nitin Solanki and co-coordinated by Mr. Sohil Chauhan, Asst. Professors, School of Pharmacy, RK University.

Outcome:

Computer literacy is crucial for a Pharmacist. Students got trained on the basic courses and also received a Certificate from a highly reputed institute like IIT, Bombay, which they can use in their Curriculum Vitae.
