Abstract
Due to development in the field of communication engineering and availability of low cost internet technology, the students in today�s world wants learning resources in the form of video lectures and webinars. This requirement can be fulfilled by developing webinars and creating video lectures so that students with different learning styles can learn at their own pace. This can help enhance classroom experience and student learning. In this paper an experience regarding organization of series of webinars and development of video lectures to enhance classroom teaching learning is presented. After completion of course it is observed that, the Zoom which is an online meeting tool with microphone and screen sharing feature can help improve student learning with real time conversations. Moreover, to maximize learning experience and exploit use of technology, video content adding voice over to Power Point slides was developed and uploaded on YouTube to share with students for repeated watching and listening. The active engagement of students in class was found to be more than traditional chalkboard lecturing. It is observed, after analysis of grades awarded to students in written examination and course projects, that the performance of student was better than previous academic years. The feedback of students shows that learning through webinar is better than conventional classroom lectures.
