 So, I have also received updates from a lot of participants even it is available in the questions tab. So, apparently the bulk upload of questions is actually possible in Moodle. So, really sorry that I had given this, I didn't know about this earlier. So, this is actually an evidence of actual practitioners giving me inputs regarding specific usage of tool. And this is why I am saying that I am also learning in this entire process. So, currently what we will do is we will restart the lab activity, but along with that there are few notifications regarding lab activity. So, the lab activity is that you will be continuing with the question collection and providing of answers. But there are some additional instructions for you regarding this particular lab activity. So, the activity is the same. You have started off with this activity and I believe you would have reached at least till pair. So, today you will have to complete the pair and solo phase individually consolidate all the answers in your own website as well. One guideline that I would give all the remote centers, it is always good to have a shared Google doc or a shared document where everyone is populating the answers that they are giving or the questions that they want to ask. So, if you structure it like that, it will be easier both for the RCC to consolidate all the queries and all the answers that have been posted. Regarding the comment issue in Parallet, I see that some of the users have deleted the post itself. So, it could be one reason, but I did not see any participant deleting a comment nor is any, nor did I see any, what do you say, updates saying that within the Parallet site saying that the comments will get deleted every day. So, there are no settings like that, the site is, whoever has the link will have access to the Parallet and so only if author deletes a comment, then only it gets deleted, otherwise the comment will still remain over there. I will be further exploring this, but till now, so I have not seen any queries that is being posted in the community where the comments, there is an issue cited as comments getting deleted. What I would additionally suggest is that when you create the page, questions asked, you can provide a comment feature within WordPress itself, so that other participants can comment on the questions. So, the pairs or the individual RCC participants who visit the RCC website, they will be able to answer the query in that page itself. And I also see that not all RCs have posted their WordPress web page, I would request all RCs to start posting their web pages, Padlet posts, do not worry if you see that as an anonymous, the name anonymous coming over here, you can log into Padlet and if you want a RC ID displayed, you can create a login within the Padlet. So, I will be doing lab assignment quizzes, so I just checked with the system team, they have advised me to release the lab assignment quiz tomorrow afternoon. So, we will be releasing the lab assignment quiz tomorrow at 12.30 pm and the due date is the Sunday that is 24th September at midnight. Please note that the lab assignment quiz will be based on the lab activity that you do across the week. There was also a question regarding lab activity due dates. The RCs can continue the lab activity till 24th September, so individual participants they can go through more remote, the questions posed by more remote centres and it is always advised that if somebody has already responded to some of the queries, choose a different RCs web page so that you can cover maximum RCs in this particular process. What we are going to do is whichever RC posts their web page, the WordPress web page in the Padlet, we will be adding all those RCs web page in our FDPICT WordPress web page. So this at the end of this week, we will consolidate all these WordPress web pages and we will be putting up this in our the FDP's WordPress web page. So, people who want and we will be clearly mentioning the most active RCs and others in that particular web page, we will be posting that as a blog post in our WordPress web page. Why should an RC do a lab activity? First and foremost, you will have this is actually a crowd sourcing activity to build the knowledge base about various tools. So technology is changing very rapidly and it is important that we keep abreast with all the changes. So it is important now for it is very difficult for one individual to explore all the features of a particular technology tool. So with constant practice, you will see lot of issues, lot of regular queries that are coming up, all these can get answered through such a crowd sourcing activity. Additionally, with an IIT Bombay, we have a system of rating RCs based on their performance. So currently we look at how active they are, what is their audio video quality and what is their attendance, all those things are being considered in the current rating. So what we are proposing is these crowd sourcing activity specifically in FDPs where RCs contribute to the knowledge base, we will look at RCs contribution and add a particular portion, a maximum of two rating points will be added to the RC. So if an RC as a whole provides more than 50 answers, then you will get two rating points. There are more than 25 answers coming from an RC, but it is less than 50, we will get we will add one rating point. Between 10 and 25, you will get 0.5 rating point, this is because typically in an RC the strength varies from 3 to 4 participants to more than 100 participants. So even the lower attending RCs can get a lot by such an activity. So whenever the RC rating increases and let us say it is being put as a collaboration component. So when the next time the FDP comes in, we will definitely be giving you more weightage because we know that as an RC you contribute to the knowledge base, you participate in collaborative activities more than and which is visible from your answers and your participation. So little bit about open education resource activity in this particular FDP. So the open education resource or OER creation activity is the final group project in this particular FDP. This will be released, the videos for this will be released in week 3 that is 28th September and what is going to happen is over a period of 2 to 3 weeks, a group of people would be coming together and creating an open educational resource. So a group means it will be a team, so we will consider that as a team and ideally the team should be formed within a cohort. So you have each of the participant within the FDP is put into different cohorts. So look into the members from the same cohort can form a team. A team will have not more than 3 members. So once the team is being created then they will then look into creation of an open educational resource which could be what is meant by an open educational resource. Any resource like a flip classroom lesson design or a modal course or a video or screen cast for a view usage in vernacular language or any resource that can be used by academic community which is in creative commons. Those resources we call them as open educational resources. A detailed email will be sent to the mentors and mentees by 21st September. All your mentors had undergone this OER creation activity last year. So they will have more information and they will have more clarification regarding this entire OER process. The A-view interactions of mentors and mentees in this particular FDP will start from 21st September. The slots will be updated shortly and we are going to provide three interaction slots. So the mentor and mentee can decide convenience slots and we are just requesting you to do at least one interaction with your mentor. So out of these three even if you attend one interaction with your mentee and clarify your doubts that is good enough. So we are providing three convenience slots. Now there were issues there were some issues in the previous FDP where people said that the mentor was not present for more amount of time. So what we are suggesting is the mentor and mentees can through email or some other let us say the mentors can create a Google survey form once the slots are released and then they can pick convenience slots in within these three where they will interact with the mentee. So A-view interaction by interaction it does not mean that you have to compulsorily attend all A-view interactions suppose that there is a bandwidth issue the mentor and mentee can decide on appropriate interaction mechanism. So let us say a group of mentees are available and A-view is not it is they are unable to come into the scheduled A-view slot. So they can choose other mechanisms in discussion with the mentor. So let us say if they say that we will interact through email even that is fine. So you can all email your mentor and clarify your doubts but having that physical presence would add much more will give you more clarity. So we recommend that you try to attend one of the A-view interaction slots if A-view is not possible you can decide on appropriate video interaction tools like skype or Google Hangouts whichever is convenient for both of you. So this decision is has to be taken by both the mentor and the mentee. From our side we are providing this slot system just like what we did last time unfortunately since it is very difficult to handle the logistics it has to be a forced continuous slot system we cannot have too much of a flexibility in changing the slots however please note that you need to do only at least one interaction out of the three slots that we provide you. So all of you can continue with the lab activity where you will what I will do is I will share this slide now through to you in the padlet. So I will upload this particular slide in padlet so that all of you can download it from there. I am just uploading the slides in the padlet right now okay the instructions have been uploaded in padlet. Now the pairing of OER that is a separate activity do not confuse it with the lab activity OER creation activity is the team project in this particular FDP a team is actually a cohort. So like now in the lab activity the team was the entire RC so similarly the virtual team that we have are the cohorts. So within your cohort you will have to find two other members and decide on working on a single project so a detailed email will be sent to all participants and the mentors regarding guidelines of OER team formation. So over the period of the next one and a half week you can think about the team formation and decide on the type of OERs that you want to create as a team the OER creation videos the guidelines on OER creation will come in the third week of this particular course which starts on 28th September. The padlet link is the same that you had yesterday just paste the link of the padlet in the chat. So it is put as a lab session 2 the PDF has been put as lab session 2 so it is available over here. So I see that lot of people are posting lot of so the RC idea I have updated as RC 1000 IIT Bombay slides for lab session day 2. So if you actually look into the padlet right now you can see that I have posted it as RC 1000 IIT Bombay slides for lab session day 2. So here I have given the instruction you will have to continue with the pair and solo phase of lab activity given yesterday and the mentor mentee slots will start from Thursday. OER creation activity is a team project form teams within a cohort the detailed instructions will be sent to you. So a separate email will come to you both mentors and mentees where we will from the core support where we will give specific instructions on how to form a team and how to create an OER. So I will just answer two queries from so I am going into the questions tab where you had posted lot of queries I will just answer the top five queries over here. Screen custommatic allows video recording of 15 minutes only what are other options to increase recording time this is from RC 1059. There are no other free options for increasing time you have to go for their paid plan. Anna University of Technology Madurai what is the necessity of private file uploads so this was asked today morning. Okay there is a question that NMIMS from Shirpur sir don't you think that merely taking the poll would not give a clear picture of understanding of concept as answer chosen might just be a guess it would be better to ask for justification as well as for choice. So yes polls do not actually reflect conceptual understanding but if the questions are designed in such a way that the concepts are discussed then you go for the peer discussion and allow for changing of options in the revolt then you will come to know whether they have got the correct conceptual understanding. So polls also as a strategy has to be used very carefully so if polls are used along with peer instruction then it will give you more clarity on whether the students are conceptually strong. There is another question is it mandatory to create a videos in vernacular language no need not but however if you are if there is a large proportion of students from vernacular language it is always better that you give it in vernacular language first so that students will understand. So there is a question how padlet is different from a discussion forum. So more or less it's like a more interactive discussion forum but over here you have additional facilities of uploading media and files and you can take a dump of the padlet so if you are an owner then you can take a dump of it and export it into a pdf or a excel or in csv format lot of functionalities are available within padlet unlike a traditional discussion forum. There is a question from 1088 in this fdp we have learnt about flip classroom approach active learning strategies, significance of collaboration and peer review assessment all these concepts can make the teaching learning process more effective and enjoyable. So my concern is is it possible to frame a policy decision by apex body like mhrd to incorporate educational technology in teaching learning mandatory to achieve educational revolution within India. Now yes it is possible and I think mhrd and aict are bringing in so all these efforts so why aict is supporting an fdp like this is because so that more amount more number of teachers would be trained in it. Before creating any policy it is important that the policy is understood and is actually realizable. Now we have around close to 3 and a half lakh teachers within higher education itself unless and until all these teachers get a basic training it will be difficult for the apex body to say that all these technologies need to be mandatorily incorporated or give directions to institutes saying that you need to incorporate better educational technology practices but I think in nbi accreditation and other things they are having certain points for innovative teaching learning practices and use of technology collaboration the community building etc. So they are at this is one of those strategies that they are using and it is actually a multi pronged approach comments regarding padlet. So are there any criteria to select correct strategy just see what the strategy is able to do and align it to the objectives what you want to achieve and build the strategy actually help in achieving it that is all other than that there are no fixed criteria and also the time duration might be an important metric that you want to additionally think about. So RC 1173 the Agrager College has asked in the RC WordPress site answers provided page what contents we need to add there is some more confusion regarding that. So the answers provided so the WordPress web page is about your RC and the answers provided by your RC. So all the participants within the RC if they have provided answers to multiple RCs questions then you should all consolidate that and post the answers in that particular page answers provided page. So you can do classification like for the questions posted by RC 1103 the following answers were provided for the questions provided by posted by some other RC these solutions were provided. So you can do a classification it is strictly up to you what I would recommend is that you share a Google Drive or a Google document with each participant and try to consolidate all the answers that are being provided across the week. What are the activities to be performed in Moodle yeah it see any technology or any activity make sure that it has the features or the affordances that are required to achieve a learning objective. So there aren't any hard and fast rule any activity or technology that can help you in achieving learning objectives please select those and go ahead and make sure that it is the technology or strategy is viable within your operating context. So if students are do not have internet connection giving lot of activities in the internet may not be a feasible idea or else you will have to make alternative arrangements where they are given a lab session within your college ok. So there is a question that RB is supposed to log out from the classroom and proceed to lab yes please go ahead I am just giving clarification if one of you want to stay and note down all the clarification that I am providing do that. So that would be a better strategy. So people who are having labs in separate rooms please go ahead to the lab and continue with the lab activity we will be binding down the sessions in another 5 minutes once I answer most of the questions that are coming in the questions tab. So there is a question for OER is it necessary to have members from same RC it is not required so ideally select it from the same cohort the only limitation that we are putting is that select from same cohort have similar interest so when you create educational resources it is always convenient if you both of you have shared interest. So if you are from the same domain it would help you to create an educational resource for the domain or if you want a generic open educational resource then feel free to collaborate with the others. A detailed instruction on this will be sent via email tomorrow please do not worry regarding open educational resource team formation and other things both the mentors and mentees will be sent an email from core support giving you exact clarity on OER team formation. So there is a question we use clicker app for active learning assignment how can we configure clicker app in android mobile is there any guideline doc to set up clicker please share with us really depends on which kind of clickers you are using but if any remote center are extensively using ok this question is from RC1057 I am not really aware of any separate guideline document but wherever you have purchased the clickers if you can see whether they have a user manual or a document that would be the best way to go about it clicker in mobiles so there is another app called clickers PLICKERS it would be worthwhile investigating how that works that is also doable in mobile ok. So there is a very practical question that has been raised by VNIT Nagpur. So the question is for RCI in FTP101x there is a possibility that the websites may get updated over a period of time and the reviewers review may not actually reflect on the reviewer might have reflect reviewed on the basis of some earlier version of the website and the participant would have modified the website at a later point of time yes this is a very valid review this is a very valid question we will definitely look into this aspect of it and maybe we will try to look at some mechanism through which we will be able to access the site updates and other things so we can always ask the users to provide us with the site updates for the WordPress the site update blogs which will have a more information on when the site was updated but we will definitely look into the various ways in which this is actually implemented so as of now the mentors are actually in the process of reviewing these queries so once the mentors provide us the consolidated review then we will take a call on the changes and other things so yes this is a valid question we will definitely try to address it in a more systematic manner. So this is from RC1148 what all help we may receive through mentors is there any responsibility manual this is a wonderful idea the responsibility manual so what we will do is before the interaction that is happening I think even the mentors so the mentors have also been asking us to give guideline manuals so what we will do is we will put up all these instructions for FDP201x and share to you by this Thursday where we will clearly define the roles of mentors particularly in this particular FDP we will look at what each mentor can give and the ways in which they can address the queries and clarifications most of the other queries that have been posted in the questions tab I think I have addressed okay Walchand Institute can you provide videos or materials so that resource creation will be more easy example quiz on Moodle okay so while at least representative sample we will try to provide some videos and resources I will also share the previous doc the top performers website that people can look in when they want to have when they have a doubt regarding specific open educational resource so we will have a list of wordpress websites that participants can go and look at and since most of the top performers have done a variety of open educational resources last time we will have a lot of these documents that will be available in their wordpress website so I think I have answered most of the queries because I see a lot of greens here at the bottom so in case there are more queries please post those in padlet what I will do is I will everyday I will be coming online in padlet for one hour so this is something on as office hours so tomorrow between 2 and 3 p.m. I will come online in padlet and I will create a post where I will say office hours so what you can do is I will be creating a post called office hours so you can come come on that and you can ask all your queries or I think a better idea is I will create a specific padlet for office hours I think that is better rather than coming to the same padlet so I will create a new padlet for office hours and that link will be shared to everyone via email tomorrow morning so once this padlet is created you and tomorrow I will be available over there between 2 and 3 p.m. so you can post your queries in this padlet which has not been addressed till now in this padlet and I will answer each of your queries so if I will be logging in using my personal login so you can see my name along with the answers and other comments so in case people want to explore padlet in mobile so there is a mobile app for padlet people who have android mobile phones just go to your play store and search padlet so what I am going to do is so just see this particular so in the Google play store you will see this particular app so essentially the essentially the idea is I will be creating a new padlet for office hours through my mobile so that between 2 and 3 we can interact all the queries I will be able to address in the padlet web page so I will be creating a new padlet and I will be sharing the office hours padlet to all of you via email today itself I will be sending out a mass email from course support okay so institutes who are having queries please note that we will be updating all these instructions in an email and we will be sending to all of you so you can all continue doing the lab activity the lab assignment quiz will be released tomorrow afternoon the lab activities you can continue doing till this sunday the lab assignment quiz will also have a duration till this sunday so that's it from IT Bombay for this synchronous interaction we hope that you would have got an idea about active learning and how tools can be used effectively for leveraging teaching learning process over the coming weeks you will be doing lot of these flip classroom activity design using active learning strategies and there will also be the larger open educational resource creation activity which will start from week 3 we do understand that there is a tremendous workload for many of the teachers during this time so we will be definitely considering at least for open educational resource we will definitely consider to extend the deadline a little more so maybe we may give around 10 to 12 days for creation of the open educational resource and another 10 to 12 days for review of the open educational resource so please do not worry about deadlines or other activities and regarding certificate of FDP 101 once both the FDPs are over the certificates will be dispatched from IT Bombay to all the participants so if suppose a participant completed FDP 1 over next and was unable to complete FDP 2 over next do not worry you will get the certificate for FDP 101 next so a big thanks to the video team and the workshop team who have been helping me out in the entire two days interaction also thank professor Fatah, Dr. Sameer, process Anamurthy and process Sridharayar who gave us valuable insights regarding the active learning process and I thank all the participants all the individuals who have turned up during this weekend without whom this interaction would not have been possible so thank you all one thank you one and all from my heart and that is it from IIT Bombay bye for now thank you
