ABOUT MICROBYTES

An Interactive E-learning Class

Microbytes is an initiative of the students of T.Y.B.Sc. batch of 2019-20 for their peers. The content is based on topics related to Microbiology and has been prepared by the students with existing online/offline learning resources and curated by the staff. It aims to facilitate peer-to-peer learning through the use of Google classroom. The activities involve interactive learning and virtual lab experience followed by assessment on the basis of the quizzes and peer graded assignments. This activity was initiated by the Microbiology department during the period of the Covid-19 lockdown as a means of continuing with the teaching - learning process even while the college had shut down. Each Microbyte prepared will be composed of 8 topics (bits) related to Microbiology.
