Making Learning Fun Makes It Effective - Dr. Kishore Gopal Banerjee, Associate Professor at Manipal University College of Malaysia

“Even my mother always told me that my biggest strength is my explanation capability,” says Dr. Kishore Banerjee, the winner of the 2022 Osmosis Raise the Line Faculty Awards in the Medicine - Osteopathy category. It’s a skill the pathologist and educator has continued to hone over many years of teaching. “If you can create analogies and compare things with a real-life experience, then it becomes very easy for the student.” Better yet, Dr. Banerjee tells host Michael Carrese, is the prospect of enhancing the images he is trying to create for students using new technologies. “If we can create an immersive experience for students using the metaverse or artificial intelligence, that would be wonderful.” Throughout the podcast, Dr. Banerjee emphasizes the importance of making the learning process an enjoyable experience, one that students look forward to, which aligns him perfectly with the core Osmosis value of Spread Joy. “If the learning is happening in a fun environment, only then can you learn it properly.” By the end of this delightful conversation, you’ll understand why Dr. Banerjee was selected as a winner out of the thousands of nominations Osmosis received from nearly 400 institutions worldwide.
