Best Practice I
Title of the Practice:
Creation of the College Website on its own.
Objective of the Practice:
To create the College website as per the guidelines issued by the Commissionerate of Collegiate Education, Andhra Pradesh (APCCE)
The Context:
Every college is supposed to have its own dynamic website. But to create and maintain a website for our college is burdensome providing the availability of the limited college's resources. This was a problematic situation for our college whether to allocate the limited resources for the basic needs of the college such as providing the facility at least to sit the students or spare that valuable money to the vendor who create the website for our college.
The Practice:
Against the said context, the college found a way out and decided not to spare the valueable money on creation of college website, instead create website for college by its own resources. The task of creation of website was assigned to M Krishna Chaitanya, Lecturer in History who created website with assistance from all other faculty. Its actually a practice that is being done in many colleges but how it become a best practice for our college is that the website is created and maintained by the staff of our college who are not from the Computer Science/Application background but learnt on their own and extended their assistance when the college is need.
Evidence of Success
The college is now having its own website created by its own resources i.e. faculty who are not from Computer Science background.
