The training sessions were designed to give faculty members opportunities for professional growth and to improve their teaching abilities.
Students have a rare opportunity to benefit from Rubika’s extensive experience in 2D and 3D animation, game development, and design thanks to the Institute for Art and Culture’s (IAC) partnership with Rubika France, the reference school for animation, video games, and design.
The world’s third-best animation school, Rubika, is also ranked second in Europe. The skilled educator and pedagogist Ms. Jade Gardais from Rubika France led sessions on teacher training.
The training sessions were designed to give faculty members opportunities for professional growth and to improve their teaching abilities. The main emphasis was on investigating cutting-edge training aids and methodologies with idea conception, along with talking about successful pedagogical techniques and keeping up with the most recent developments in animation trends and research.
Specific subjects were also covered in TOT sessions, including student assessment, technology integration, and differentiated instruction in the field of animation.
Ms. Jade Gardais, a spokesperson for Rubika, has said the following on occasion: “I am thrilled about this collaboration and believe we can create a positive and transformative impact on our students’ learning experiences and contribute to the global pedagogy community. It was a very productive session, and we are eager for more to help Pakistan’s game and animation design industry grow.”
With the gap between academia and industry in mind, IAC offers a four-year bachelor’s degree programme in game design, a first in Pakistan. Students will learn the most up-to-date storytelling techniques while gaining the knowledge, abilities, and practical PBL training required to become successful game designers.
“TOT sessions have encouraged interactive discussions and provided practical examples, to make the learning experience more enriching,” said Mr. Zafar Khokhar, head of the department. Everybody’s perspectives were valued and respected in the sessions’ supportive and welcoming environment.
As part of the partnership, IAC animation students will participate in the three-week summer camp in Rubika, France, in July. The skills necessary to realise imaginative animation ideas will be taught to students along with a variety of animation techniques using industry-standard software, creative storytelling, and advanced animation topics.
