examine some of the textbooks donated to Kabul University during
a visit to Purdue. |
Four members of the faculty of Kabul University
will share the latest in teaching techniques with their colleagues
in Afghanistan after spending a few weeks on the Purdue University
campus learning current trends in teaching and computer use in the
classroom.
Kabul faculty members returned to Afghanistan
with 40 used computers donated by Purdue and more than 165 textbooks,
reference materials, syllabi and CD-based educational materials
contributed by faculty members from Purdue Agriculture.
The Afghan professors represented agriculture
and engineering programs and worked with Purdue faculty in both
disciplines. Their visit came after Purdue professors, including
agricultural economics professor Kevin McNamara, traveled to Afghanistan
in April and December of last year.
Editor’s Note: The Purdue faculty’s
initial trip to Afghanistan was featured in the Summer 2002 issue
of Agricultures magazine. Read it online at www.agriculture.purdue.edu/agricultures/past/summer2002/.
