 So, welcome back to all the participants, we will start the Q and A session in a minute. So, first we will take center 1309. Sir, I have a suggestion like where all this works, all this task which are to be done online means using internet, if you are doing all these things in a in a lab system because all students all participants trying to see the same time that that may be this problem. So, we can give some task like what we can do along with the peer or let us say in a group that could be done in a lab offline then later on they can take this assignment that this whatever they decided or we find then the environment done all they can upload later on at their respective times. So, that would be better than this session what we are doing. Okay, we do accept your suggestion even we did not accept this expect that privates site like Vicky spaces will crash due to 3000 participants. So, we understand what you are saying and we will definitely for the next workshop we will make sure that your suggestions are taken care of. Center 1247 School of Management Science. Good evening sir, my question is you gave us so many examples for visualization through all the repository, but being a domain of civil engineering I was unable to find out the domains visualization, simulation and all. I just wanted to ask that are you going to provide some guidelines how I can create my own simulation or animation or visualization for my domain topic. If there will be any guidance from your side. So, we do have some guidelines for creating of visualizations but it will be a little difficult to you know mentor you through that process. So, what we can do is we can put up you know some examples of how these visualizations are to be created and you know we'll post the link on model which you can follow for creating your own these are called instruction design templates. We have some instruction design templates which can guide you through the process of selecting what sort of visualization is required for your particular topic if you need to create them. But this will stop at the point of deciding what is it that you want to show the actual process of creating the programming part that you will have to manage on your own. Good evening sir, yeah good evening. Sir actually this program is very useful for our community but due to this wiki and other things our faculties feel very tough but it's the easiest thing but sometimes they feel due to login and other problems they are facing some they are having lack of interest. So, apart from we are in IIT we are using a lot of communication tools like Sylab and English development tutorial tools and that will include in this session means it is very useful for our staff sir. Okay, so coming to the first comment about the wikis see any new technology when you're learning the first time there will be some learning curve. So the learning curve will be both for you are learning as well as for you know working out the technology glitches. So once the goal of this workshop is to expose you to such technologies and I mean it just by doing one workshop it cannot become an expert user of the technology you have to keep using it and you know over a period of time that expertise and familiarity will develop. Coming to the second question of about whether we are going to do Sylab or any of those simulation tools that is not within scope of this workshop. This workshop is a broad workshop meant for teachers of all disciplines and Sylab etc will be specific for particular domain teachers which will be in other workshops which are associated with the content specific topics. One three three nine sir regarding this pedagogy program. So this program is very effective for all of us and all the remote centers are getting benefited. So thing is that sir for the today's program the visualization process sir is it effective for the in your classroom because of for our university pattern because all the students are that means they are acquainted with the traditional concept. So we are also what normally we are doing so we are completing our courses the regular courses as per the semester curriculum. So thing is that this visualization process is effective that means to complete all the Sylab courses as per the time schedule. Okay so the visualization can be used as a substitute for a lot of the lecturing that you do. So instead of explaining the lot of detail what you can do is you can show an appropriate visualization, pause it as at an at the correct time and ask students to predict. So the entire this entire workshop has been about how to stop doing lecturing and how to increase the amount of work or amount of active learning that happens in the classroom. So that is one way in which you can use visualization and still complete your syllabus. So the key idea here is there are two ideas one is to find a visualization which is appropriate for the topic and the other is to use the visualization in an appropriate manner and both of these are what we have focused on in this workshop. Center 1 2 1 5. How we can integrate various components of lesson plan? As per our peer discussion manual lesson plan is more convenient than digital lesson plan. So the the point is whether you are creating the lesson plan manually or digitally is not so important. The use of digital technology as part of your lesson plan is the important part. So even if you are going to simply write down the lesson plan wherein you are going to say what you are going to do when in your when you are taking the class and which tools you are going to use I think that is fine. Okay RC 1313. Sir after creating after creating wiki page name so how can we edit or change the page name sir? Okay at this moment I believe that members do not have options to rename the pages. Only the organizers and the creators will have permissions to change the name of your page. So at please note that you are using wiki as a student. So all the experience that you have got till now is about how a student will feel when he is doing wiki operations. So there will be a separate what you say a separate lesson on how to use wiki for as a teacher which will be uploaded tomorrow and it will be part of your post workshop activity where you will actually create your own wiki and do various tasks. So then you will be able to see how you can rename the page and explore various functionalities that is possible in wiki within your own created wiki. Yeah RC 1305. My question is what specific software can be used for making the simulation? Okay. Is there any specific software name? So there are tons of software to create simulations. So you could do it using Java based softwares. You have adopts premium suit which you can use flash you can use for creating animations. So all these are some of the I mean few among the many software that are available for creating simulations. Is there any other open source tool is available to work on lesson plan and other than wikipedia? So there are lots of lesson plan I mean other wikis that you can use other than wiki spaces. So some of them are media wiki or you can use PB wiki and model itself has a wiki functionality in built in it. So all these I mean these are some of the examples of various wikis that are available. So if you just go to wikipedia and enter different wikis available you will see a lot of them being listed over there. RC 1312. Good evening sir. My question is related to wiki. How can we retain or assure the integrity of the data posted in wiki? If everyone changes the original content of the data means what is the original content is retained what is the integrity of the integrity of the content will maybe last isn't it ma'am? Yeah so quick answer to it you can always revert back to your original version of wiki that you have already created and as a creator what you can also do is lock the page so that nobody else is able to edit it. So that way you can ensure that whatever data you are creating it remains intact but for creating a new pay getting this permission you have to be a creator or organizer of a wiki. We will give you lessons on how to do this tomorrow because this will be a post workshop activity not an in workshop activity wherein you will use wiki as a teacher and not as a student. Oriental college 1123. Sir I have one question how to get tax suggestions while creating pages in wiki spaces sir as you demonstrated in afternoon sir so we have present some problem in that. So tax suggestions you can so tag is something that you want your page to have along with it. So you can give any tag you want or for example the tag that I used for all the activities were portfolio. So the moment you use tags it is one way of filtering them and finding it in pages. So tags are used for efficiency of search searching the page. So you just type the tag that you want it will automatically pick up from the available tags within the wiki. Yeah but as we have seen while you are demonstrating how to create the page for TPS activity whenever you are typing TPS there is already the tag but when we have created the page and type TPS or portfolio it is counted as zero and nothing is there to when whatever we have typed we cannot identify whether it is right or wrong. Okay so it may be because of the case go to the particular page that I have created and on the right hand top you will see more options. You can see the tags of that use the same case of the tag that is there in that particular page and retype it in your own created page. Can we enrich such type of solution by default given by the wiki space as I am thinking that it automatically creates. So what might have happened is because there are so many so around there are around 3000 participants who are accessing wiki spaces at the same time the same wiki for trial wiki that may be a reason why the tag suggestions came late. So you would have seen Google instance sometimes getting turned off when the bandwidth is very low or when there is too much traffic. So it might be a similar technical glitch that happened to wiki spaces while you were writing the tags. One more question I want to ask actually this may be a silly question the reliability and the scalability of the wiki spaces as we have experienced the delay and maintenance problem so if we are popular this wiki space so what is the reliability that means the persistency of the wiki space and the scalability problem that we have spaces while left in last session. To tell you from my example the reliability of wiki when I gave it to a student population of around 300 to 400 was very high. So it was highly reliable there were no database errors so we had done a similar exercise for a lower audience and the participants were between 400 to 1000 but for this T10KT so that is why we selected wiki spaces for this particular T10KT workshop and apparently when you scale it above 1000 it seems there are issues for the wiki spaces. So we have to troubleshoot what exactly happened but I think for a yeah so I think your classroom will be less than 1000 so in this in which case you can safely trust wiki spaces to work fine. Has any analysis done for this wiki activity which has been carried out or any rubrics is there so that whenever we try to do this we should have some effective or some research material which is already been carried out. So if your question is about analyzing the work that your students carry out using a wiki then yes you can write rubrics for it I mean that is similar to what you would do for assessing any group assignment. So you would come up with criteria on which the assessment is to be done and you would come up with needs improvement and meets expectation and exceeds expectation type of levels for each of those rubrics each of those items. So assessing your own assignments that you have submitted that we will be having some rubrics which we have not which is also shared with you on how we are going to be assessing that. So for assessing your own activity for each of the activities like for learning objectives we had given self assessment and peer assessment guidelines. So if that is the question then all these rubrics like for peer instruction think pair share assessment strategy flip classroom all these activities rubrics have already been shared through either assignments or within sessions. So are you referring to these assessment rubrics. I was referring to the students rubrics actually while implementation in the class. So you will have to create your own rubrics so what we have created for you is considering you as students. So when you do it for your own students then you will have to incorporate the content that is I mean content specific criteria and create your own rubrics. So ours is only a just a guideline on how to create rubrics. Yeah 1173 Pyagrager College. We have got two questions from our side. First question is when we how to include equations and images in the wiki page. When we copy a document from the word and copied in the wiki space images and the equations are missing sir. This question number one and question number two is can we have all the activities that we do in wiki space in Moodle also. What are the differences between the two facilities available? By default the wiki editor that you see is what you see what you get. So what it means is you can just type whatever you want to type that's it. Equations and all these are characters which needs more finesse or more plugins to make sure that equations are displayed as it is. So even in word across years they have refined it. So a simple strategy that you can do is put up the word or put it in a Microsoft PowerPoint and create an image of the equation so that this equation is not editable and then upload this image in the wiki page. So this is one way of working around with available resources. Regarding second option you are comparing Moodle versus wiki. So a simple difference between the two is that a Moodle is a learning management system. So it offers a wide variety of features that are learning a simple wiki. Wiki is only a web page at the end of the day. So a difference between a wiki and a Moodle is that wiki has less functionality but it has very specific functionality that it allows you to collaborate it allows you to create pages whereas Moodle you have multiple functionalities associated with the teaching learning activities. It is a software designed specifically for all the packages that come up in the teaching learning activity. So Moodle itself has a wiki inside it if you happen to go about it so if you have a Moodle in your own institution you can see that a Moodle wiki can be created but the only problem is that this wiki is accessible only inside the Moodle but whereas wiki spaces you can use direct internet and access it from anywhere. So this is the simple differences between Moodle and a wiki. 1299 Dronacharya College. Good evening sir my question is if somebody forgets the username or password so is there any way to retrieve it back or we have to create another the login ID and the second question is can we modify the tabs which are present in wiki pages according to our requirement or can we suggest something according to that? Okay question number one there is always a forgot password that is available right when you sign in. So it was working for me twice so I so some participants had asked me that they had forgotten password I checked the functionality yesterday night also and it was working fine. So you try to sign in and click the forgot password and give the email ID you registered email ID with wiki spaces you should not give the user ID registered email ID with wiki spaces they will send you a password reset mail and regarding your second query if you create your own individual wiki you can select themes so this wiki spaces the wiki for trial is running on one particular theme theme as in what you see in blogs or other pages so there is a specific theme for this wiki which you can change for your own wiki so there you can adjust the tab spaces or what comes on right all these are editable and you have to be a creator of the wiki to make these changes so as a member you will not be able to do these changes you have to be a creator of the wiki to make these changes 1166 a Bhila Institute of Technology first of all from all of the participants from this institute we thanks IIT Mumbai for organizing such a very informative my question one regarding server for wiki have you prepared any complete instructional video for how to operate wiki and second sir is there any fear to share our credential with the wiki because we know so there is some problem with the wiki itself so if we are interacting with the wiki means we are sharing our credential with the wiki so is there any fear to work with the wiki space so there are two questions over to you regarding your first question we do have a video that we did for the last pedagogy workshop but it is after so after you get exposed to all these activities so that is what we are going to give you as post workshop wiki activity where you create your own wiki where the instructions are clear so all these are available in that particular activity and regarding your second question I do not see any problem in credentials so as such it's an academic activity so there is really and most of what we are doing in you know we want more and more students to access this teaching learning material so there really is no problem about credentials at this point as long as you don't give your you know the same you don't use the same username ID and password which you keep for your other online banking transactions you should be fine one two double six how to protect my wiki page so that anyone cannot edit my page okay if you're asking you have to be a creator of the wiki and you will get permissions to lock the page at this moment your wiki page since you are a member it is accessible by all we cannot restrict certain specific members from not accessing your page as all of them have equal rights we'll give you a post workshop activity where you will create your own wiki where you can do all the fancy stuff that you want in terms of permission or experimentation within the wiki but sir it has been found that after logging the wiki page or someone remove the other individual page so you can always revert back to the last version that you have seen okay so if you see that the content has been deleted just go to version changes that is there or history can see a clock like button click on that and look at your user ID and the last time you entered over that so look at the date and time stamp click on it and you'll see whatever you did in the last coming in the screen and you can always revert back to this version by clicking the revert to this version option that comes on the right hand side top okay thank you sir so to add to that point so you can also create groups in the wiki so I think your question is coming from the angle of what about students doing these assignments so you can create groups such that one group of students can only edit their own set of pages they cannot edit any of the pages of another group of students so in that case it will be possible for you to maintain the separation within each group you want all the students to edit equally and you don't expect them to delete information because that entire thing is meant for their own marks the students who are doing second year of their course I think they can also attend this type of programs most of the PG students they are going for teaching profession and they learn this pedagogy in their PG finally itself means it will be more useful to them is what I feel my personal opinion yes that's a good point and we are also trying to involve more and more students so we have right now started with teachers then we will talk about PhD students and then maybe even PG students who are going to become teachers so once we create these resources then we do plan to make them available in online fashion for anybody who is interested to be able to take it at any time of their convenience that will probably happen sometime early next year there is this question about locking the wiki pages so please note that as members you will not be able to log the pages as of now will post some activities wherein you will create your own wiki where you can experiment with all the functionalities of permissions and the additional power that you get as a creator of a wiki okay so there don't seem to be any additional new questions and in case we have missed any we will as usual answer them you know consolidate them and answer them in moodle which will be available to you later on also so with that I think we come to the close of today's session okay thank you very much
