 Good afternoon, everyone. I hope I am audible to all the course coordinators. We have called this special interaction session with all the course coordinators of FDP precisely because of the feedback that each of you had provided regarding the breakout sessions that we conducted in FDP 101X. Throughout the feedback, one thing that we have observed is that all the remote centers and participants have greatly appreciated the breakout sessions as well as the individual lab activities. One shortcoming from our side is that that you had mentioned was there was lack of clarity in the instructions that we had provided and there was a lot of audio, video and technical issues before the start of the during the ABU sessions. Now let me address it one by one. First, regarding the technical issue. Now to address the technical issue it is important that both of us be in the same page, both of us interact, do a testing prior to the actual ABU interaction. So, one week prior to the start of the ABU sessions we will be putting up testing slots. So, these testing so the first you all know the ABU interaction these are 12th and 13th of May and 26th and 27th of May. So, starting a week before these interaction that means from that Monday to Friday we will be scheduling testing slots. Each since we cannot accommodate all the RCs in a single slot we will be doing it in a batch wise format. Important thing regarding what do you say audio, video issues needs to be sorted out during this testing slot. Now some of the things that each RC has to ensure is that they have a dedicated internet line the bandwidth is completely dedicated to the ABU. So, that interactions will not have audio or video issues check your camera check your audio mixers whatever hardware and equipments are there please make sure that you test them properly in this testing slot. Now our website has very clear instructions and guideline documents regarding what to do at each place and if a technical issue happens. So, I know that regardless of how much ever we prepare there could be a last minute issue or other things we will try to sort it out from our end, but it is important that the remote center ensures that they get appear in the testing slot they check the equipment the testing would not require more than 10 minutes. So, it is to spend 10 minutes spend 10 minutes to ensure that you get your participants in this FDP get the maximum benefit out of this interaction. The FDP 2 is going to start on May 3rd the FDP 1 we have closed the FDP 1 last week and we are now in the process of collecting all the peer evaluation grievances and other things. So, one thing that we have done is all the people who are in the margin or let us say between 35 percent to 50 percent we have first looked that their peer evaluation grievances and we have seen that what could be made what kind of our course TAs have ensured that all these people get who are have submitted. So, among these so, we had around 300 or 375 people who were there in this particular list between 35 percent to 50 percent around 80 percentage of them had not submitted any one of the assignments and due to which we were unable to give them the mark. I completely understand that there are each teacher each instructor is having a lot of academic load and other activities at their own individual centers, but see if we had relaxed the criterion that you could submit either one resource creation activity or another. So, there were two resource creation activity and we had selected the best mark. So, we were working for the faculty so, that they could attempt any one of them and still be able to qualify. Now, unfortunately what we have seen is that very few out of these 300 odd people were able to finally cross the 50 percentage cut off criteria and unfortunately as course instructors we are not able to do anything beyond this. Now, one thing to assure all those participants is that this FDP 1 0 1 x is going to rerun. Now, we are thinking of continuing these faculty development programs because we have seen that it enables a lot of faculty to benefit from this and lot of them are actively involved in this particular FDP. So, we will be continuing FDP 1 0 1 in a more lean time where faculty does not have too much academic load. We will look at university slots and schedules across the remote centers and we will try to fix up a slot in the upcoming semester, but the FDP 1 0 1 is going to FDP 1 0 1 2 0 1 is going to continue for some more time. So, we will have lot of reruns of this FDP 1 0 1 and 2 0 1 and any faculty who had attempted any one of them will be able to participate in the next FDP also. So, we will try to ensure that they will get a chance in the next FDP and try to cross the qualifying criteria because we are this at the end of it is a empowerment activity and we look for building a community of faculty who are empowered to do teaching learning processes online. As you know IIT Bombay X is a platform which offers a lot of blended courses like this FDP. So, it is important that and one important aspect of any blended courses is the participation from the local institute and you need a qualified faculty who is able to handle these blended courses. So, we have the skill courses like campus to corporate, we are having skill courses in animation, we also have these faculty development courses. So, these skill courses and teach MOOCs will continue in IIT Bombay X, but it is important that to leverage the best out of these skill courses the course coordinator be qualified in FDP 1 and FDP 2. We will soon release an FDP 3 which is meant to be a passing course that is required to be a course coordinator for all the blended offerings from IIT Bombay X. So, all the faculty who successfully qualify in the third FDP which we are soon going to release is will be a default recommendation from our side for being course coordinators and local coordinator or mentors for the blended offerings from our side. Now, to get into FDP 3 it is important that they cross FDP 1, FDP and FDP 2. So, in that way we are tying up the faculty development programs to all the other critical blended courses that we will offer from our side initially we will ensure that people who qualify in FDP be mentors and what do you say mentors or local course coordinators for the future offerings of the FDP to pilot it off. You will soon hear about FDP 3 from our from our E-outreach team because that is going to be a separate activity in itself. We will soon be announcing that for the first offering we will be selecting a few it will be an invitation only course and we will have identified a pool of I mean people who have qualified with marks greater than 80 percent in the FDPs combined to be the first to be there in the initial offering of FDP 3. Details of this will soon follow, but our primary agenda is not that primary agenda is all about FDP 201. So, I was talking about the A-view interactions and the technical issues how to sort out the technical issues. The first and foremost issue was about the logistics of the breakout sessions. Now, to understand the logistics of breakout session it is important for all the course coordinators to understand how the course is going to be the FDP 201 course is going to be. Now, FDP 2 course is about more about the pedagogy of online and blended learning. So, we will start with digital bloom straxonomy. This will be followed by two weeks where we will elaborate flip classroom activities. The flip classroom activities it has two segments one is the out of class where so that is where the knowledge from FDP 1 is going to help all participants. So, it is about how do you give a resource a do information transmission outside the classroom. So, you can use model you can use wordpress you can use YouTube or you can use screen cast to upload videos to YouTube or any other video sharing sites and then disseminate the information, but what is more important in a flip classroom is what activities you do inside the classroom. Now, this will be the focus of week 3 where we will look at active learning strategies that faculty can use inside their classroom. Primarily we will focus on two main active learning strategies think pair share and peer instruction faculty can select any one of them and try to design their own activities. The final activity is all about evaluating the classroom practice. How do you do a learning evaluation and how do you do a perception evaluation and you will all the participants will start an OER activity. The OER activity is equivalent to a course project though the weeks there are only four weeks of instruction the OER activity will continue after the course also. So, all participants will have to form a team a details of this I am going to say in a few slides later, but from an RC perspective there are two ABU sessions two weekend ABU sessions happening. One is on 12th and 13th of May which is coincides with the start of week 2 where we will start about out of classroom activities in a flip classroom and the second one is in the start of week 4 which is after the end of in class activities in a flip classroom. So, why are we doing this ABU sessions as I told earlier you will have all participants assemble at the same place which means that we can utilize the synchronicity. It is synchronous all participants are available each one can learn from each other and it also is for collaboration between centers it is not just faculty inside a center who needs to collaborate. Faculties across centers also have to collaborate like the breakout activity that we did. So, these are the two primary rationale why we are having these ABU sessions of course there will be instructor feedback towards the end of both the activities. So, ABU sessions will be having two important components one is a lab session which has to be done inside the RC you do not need any ABU connectivity for this lab session we will be giving you a local task that you have to complete. Now in the previous FDP you had done a local task of creation of wordpress web. So, similarly we will be giving you a local task for doing and this will be on this all participants in the RC has to do during the third and fourth session of day one of the ABU. This will be followed by a breakout session the breakout session is focused on getting feedback on the local task that the RC has completed from other RCs. So, this will be done during first and second session on day two. So, as course coordinators your role in both these sessions are very important. So, you will have to ensure that all faculty participants from your remote centre are on task during both these sessions. To facilitate more clarity about the task this is what the activity will be. So, on 12th May during session three and four that is the afternoon session each RC will be given five topics to curate an out of class segment of flip classroom. So, it is all about flip classroom now. So, you will be all RCs will be given topics in the morning they will have to identify resources curate content and prepare an out of class segment of a flip classroom for the same topic. We will ensure that these topics are domain in independent. So, that every participant can take part in this activity. So, there will not be any domain dependency on these local topics. And on 26th May once you have done out of class activity and you will know about in class activities on 26th May that is the second weekend interaction the afternoon third and fourth session. The lab session will be about creating in class activities for the same five topics. So, regardless of the topic you know what is important in a flip classroom. So, regardless of a topic important thing is ensure that all the accessibility all other things are there the resources are accurate resources have proper licenses within an RC you should ensure that all the people are involved in the curation process all the people are involved in designing appropriate activities the rubrics will also be put in advance. And what each RC is going to get is a feedback on. So, they will be presenting one of these topic the very next day. So, the very next day they will have to present one of the topic to another RC on how they are planning their out of class and in class activities in during the breakout session. So, they should utilize the breakout session to get feedback about the in class and out of class activities that they created local. Now, a little bit about OER or Open Educational Resource Activity. Now, this will start in the fourth week of the course this is equivalent to a project course project activity. The Open Educational Resource we are now creating a standard all participants or participants have to form a team. The team will have 2 to 3 persons from ideally from the same RC because they can interact with each other and ideally from the same domain. So, that the resource created is more meaningful what they have to do as an we are creation of a Moodle course and preparing a report on it. Now, the Open Educational Resource is your Moodle course and they will be evaluated based on a project report. Now, how do you evaluate your students in a course project activity or a B Tech project activity. So, they will do a project. So, they will create something, but it is not just the creation that is evaluated, it is also the process that they have gone through. So, that you will ask all your B Tech students to submit a B Tech project report, B Tech project report or a course project report. So, we are also asking the participants to create a course project report or OER project report about this OER activity. The format will be shared well in advance. The evaluation rubrics for OER also will be shared well in advance. So, all the formats and all the necessary details for participants will be shared well in advance. But what is important is they form a team, they decide on a topic and they create a Moodle course on it. All these OERs are going to be peer evaluated. Participants will get 2 weeks to prepare the OER and another 2 weeks to evaluate others OER. Now, to handle logistics, team should be formed before 24th May, 2018 and this is where we require the course coordinators help. Now, the course coordinator has to collect, gather the team details from their remote center and submit to us by 24th May, 2018. Only these people will be eligible to participate in the OER activity and OER is a mandatory activity for this particular activity because this is the most critical activity that everyone will do. One more important point, we have a zero tolerance policy regarding plagiarism. In FDP 101, unfortunately, there have been many instances of plagiarism specifically in resource creation assignment where people have copied each others. I mean somebody has used their peers course journal report and uploaded it. It may have happened in a mistake also. So, there are cases where they wrongly uploaded the same file. So, they looked into the other one and prepared a new one, but unfortunately they uploaded the same file that they created and there have been also instances in RCA 2 where the modal course, the name was just changed and the course just remains the same. Now, this is not at all acceptable. Now, these were found out by our course TAs when they were evaluating the RC grievances or when they were looking at the course journals from several participants. Now, what we are going to do is we are going to put all the course journals and all these submissions in to turn it in and we are going to check for plagiarism. If found plagiarized, you will not be eligible for FDP certificates even though the participants will not be eligible for an FDP certificate even though how much they have scored in assimilation quiz, reflection quiz or the knowledge quiz. Now, there is one more reason for this. All the resources that you are creating, they are going into a pool of open educational resources that IT Bombay is going to dedicate to all to the nation. We will have a common access page where all these resources could be will be aggregated and can be accessed from. So, it is important for us to ensure that these resources are plagiarism free and all the participants had indicated, provided a consent for plagiarism check when they start the course. So, in the FDP itself at the time of registration also all these resources are going to be in creative commons all the resources. So, if there is a plagiarism we are going to. So, that is one thing that we have strongly emphasized. Professor Fatuk had also mentioned academic ethics and integrity. It is very important. As teachers, we are also role models for our students. Now, if we indulge in practice look at how many of our students are going to learn from us and that is why IT Bombay is very strict on this policy. So, we do not mind that you put in an effort it did not achieve do well into certain standards that we had looked at. I mean see our standards are also not. So, look at the evaluation rubrics. So, the evaluation rubrics are given well in advance to all participants. So, that they can understand what is expected from them. So, it is also expected. So, when we show this much faith in to all participants it is also expected that participants repay the faith by not indulging in such practices. It is completely inadmissible. So, as course coordinators you will have to so whenever we find a plagiarist content we will be informing the participants keeping the course coordinators in loop. So, all the plagiarism complains we will be taking strict action. So, any mistake from the participant it is not expected. I mean please ask the participants to be very careful when they upload digital artifacts. Any kind of technical error is from their end is not accepted acceptable for the FDPs. Even for the FDP 101 wherever we have found these unfortunate cases of let us say file being changed we do not have any other way with us. We had to actually so both the people would be impacted. So, suppose somebody refers somebody else's artifact and creates their own and we see that the plagiarism has happened. So, it will show me a report which says that this is these two are plagiarized. So, both the people would be impacted and ideally we would want all faculty to go through this FDPs and be eligible for being future coordinators in our blended office. We are looking to build a community who are empowered who are aware of the consequences and be responsible. So, it is important that all of you ensure that all participants please ask your participants to completely stay away from plagiarism or copying from each other because it is creating a wrong precedence. It is absolutely I mean in terms of what the chain of the chain that goes forward this is also not giving the right message to your learners also the students. So, this is all about the FDP 201 and these are the main things that I wanted to share with you before the start of the course. So, there are some questions that have come up I will be soon interacting with each one of few of you the remote centers. There are questions from regarding sharing of the document I will enable I will allow sharing now. So, all participants can download this slides at their local centers. So, I have marked it as somebody wants another a view testing session I will inform the studio team. We will have the testing sessions tomorrow. So, you can join tomorrow for the testing. The testing slots are between 10 to 12 somebody has an issue with video. So, all the technical issues I will have the studio team. So, the studio team will be doing testing from morning 10 o'clock till 12 o'clock tomorrow. So, you can share it with them. So, there is a question in the chat can we do the FDP in June unfortunately no because see the FDP being in a blended format you can do the online component from everywhere anywhere it is only the interaction component for which you have to be in the RC. So, we have we are giving sufficient flexibility for all instructors to be part of the FDP. So, you can opt out of the FDP also because we will be having FDP 201 reruns as well. So, you can decide the appropriate I mean see there are lot of remote centers across the country who are connected to IIT Bombay and we the unfortunate issue is the calendars academic calendars of all universities are different. So, we will we are not able to find a unique time at which we can get all faculty having a break. So, we will have to stick with one schedule and hope that most faculty will get benefited out of this particular offerings. What I will do now is I will do a interaction with all RCs what I will do is I will clear all the. So, I am clearing all the hand races now. So, all main RCs major all the RCs or the coordinators who have questions can do a hand race now I will do I will come visit your RC synchronously and I will interact with you and all the coordinators please listen to the questions posed by other RCs. If you have a same question I will be addressing. So, you can get a redressal through these through my reply. So, first we will go to RC RC 1364 RC 1364 Gitanjali Institute Gitanjali Institute I am unable to view your video RC 1364 I am unable to view your video. So, make sure that you have your video checked and you can do a hand race again. Now, it is RC 1108 RC Patel Institute of Technology Shirpur Dhule. Good afternoon. Can you move the mic slightly away from your speaker? Yeah that is fine. In a previous year 2017 FDP 101 and 201 has been run. Yes. But my from my institute some of participants are there unfortunately they have not finished 201. Okay. They have finished 101 only. Okay. So, they will automatically enrol in this 101 X or they have to enrol. Okay. Good question. So, the question from RC 1108 RC Patel is that there were a few participants in that particular RC who were unable to complete FDP 2 last year when we had offered. So, will they be eligible for participating in FDP 2 this time? The answer is yes. So, any participant so the idea of FDP 1 and 2 is that any participant who have completed 1 will be able to take up any future iterations of the same course. Now, the only thing over here is that the participants have given a registration money of 1000 rupees for both the FDPs. Now, as an RC we would request you to accommodate these people with what you say with their previous year's payment. So, if they have paid previous year please I mean in the previous year we had given the payment. So, we would request RC to take that as a payment and make them allow them to participate in this FDP. Thank you sir. Yeah. So, that was that is all sir. Any other queries? Is there any provision from your side for making an attendance? For can you? By putting an attendance from our side it is a manual. No, you have to. So, you have a dashboard where you can manually tick the attendance, right? That is going on. That process is going on. Yes. Yeah, at least some part of manually. See, we cannot have what do you say? Unfortunately, we cannot have Adhar linked attendance or other things for these kind of FDPs. So, at least see that is also one reason we have course coordinators and that is why we talk of blended MOOCs. So, there should be some responsibilities at the local institute that needs to be taken up and needs the course coordinator. That is why we have a course coordinator certificate. Support staff also gets a certificate. Remote center coordinator also gets a certificate. So, there needs to be some amount of effort to be done by each three of these people as well, right? My last question. Yeah. Can I ask? Yeah, yeah. I have completed this FDP in 2016. Okay. So, can I enroll for the FDP 3? Okay. So, this is a question regarding FDP 301. Now, see all the FDPs are part of a same program and any participant who has completed FDP either in 2016 or in 2017 will automatically be eligible for FDP 3 that is how the designers for the initial offering of FDP 3 what we are trying. So, since this is a pilot offering, we also want to try. So, new content. So, we also want to try out to see what is happening, how effective is it, etc. So, for the initial offering alone, we are putting it in an invitation only mode where we will be inviting participants who have scored more than 80% in those FDP. So, FDP 1, FDP 2 combined from the last year and since in 2016 we had only single FDP, it is 80% of that one full FDP. So, if you have scored more than 80%, if there are participants, if there are course coordinators amongst you who have scored more than 80% in FDP in either in 2016 or in 2017 that is combined FDP 1 plus FDP 2, you will be invited for this FDP 3. The invitation is going to come soon. See, but unfortunately, we have a very tight last date of May 10 for registration. So, ensure that you complete, you do the registration by that time and this is a paid FDP. This is a sustainable model FDP where you may not be required for an RC also. So, details are going to come tomorrow to all invited participants. The brochure and other things are going to come to all the invited participants. Thank you. Thank you, sir. So, let me now go to RC 1135. Hello RC 1135. Actually, I am going to ask a clarification. Ma'am, can you kindly move the mic slightly away from your face? Yeah, that would be great. Actually, my clarification is the same question raised by Archie Patel. The clarification is the participant, those who have passed in FDP 101 H in the last batch, that is in 2017, they need not pay the amount or they should pay the amount with some concentration. See, okay, the question is regarding the payment for FDP 2 for participants who have completed in the previous, who were unable to complete in the previous offering. Now, in all ideal case, what, so it is a request to the RC. Now, the RC can decide how they want to take in the participant. We had paid 1000 rupees per participant in the previous offering of the FDP. So, you can consider that as a payment and you can accept them in FDP 201. Or if the RC decides that I have to pay, all participants have to pay regardless of whether they completed or not, we will not be so, it is completely up to the RC to decide whether you want to have a payment or whether you do not need to have a payment. It is only a humble request from our side that if the participant has been, so if the participant has attended FDP 1 in the previous year and he was not qualified for FDP 2, consider them, their, the payment that we had made last year as a payment from, for the current year also. Okay, actually it was given in NME ICB page that we need to collect the registration fees with some concentration. The RC can consider them and can use some concentration. Yes, so, I mean, yeah, so, I mean, if you want to, if you want to give concession, please go ahead, I mean, we will be happy that you are giving a concession to these participants. Concession, you mean the whole payment? It is up to the RC, we are not giving any directive. So, it is completely up to the RC whether you want to take payment or not. Yes, sir, yes, thank you, sir. RC 1387, lucky ready college. Good evening, sir, I am Shukumar. Good evening, sir, I am Shukumar. Yeah. Sir, this is like, when are we going to receive these certificates for this FDP 101, one thing? Yeah. And how the registration for the FDP 201 expanded will start. So, yeah, okay, pertinent questions from RC 1387. The first question was regarding certificates. The second question is regarding registration for FDP 2. Now, for regarding the certificates of FDP 101, we will be completing all the grievance redressal by tomorrow. So, once everything is completed and we will have a plagiarism check. So, it will take us around 10 days to complete the plagiarism check for core journal. So, immediately after that the certificates will be dispatched. Now, if a participant has qualified and has been found to be in the plagiarism list, unfortunately we will have to withhold the certificate. Okay. So, that is one thing. So, you can expect somewhere, so we will start dispatching certificates from around May 10th to 12th from our end for FDP 101. FDP 201 certificate will take a month for us to complete the entire plagiarism check because the OER submissions are going to happen after during June. And there is going to be peer evaluation in June also. The course will be open but there are no, there are not going to be instruction. It is only the evaluation activity and other things. It will take us roughly 20 to 30 days to complete the plagiarism check for FDP 2. So, I am hoping that by July, July 2nd week we will be able to dispatch FDP 2's certificate. When the registration will start, sir? Okay. So, the second question was regarding registration for FDP 201. Now, FDP 201 registration is going to be automatic. We will enroll all the participants who have successfully completed FDP 1 into FDP 2 and an invitation email will be sent to all these participants, successfully qualified participants. And this invitation email you can expect on Wednesday, 2nd May because we have a string of holidays on Monday and Tuesday. 30th and 1st are holidays, central government holidays. So, we will be, so we will complete the grading, freezing the grading by tomorrow. And on Wednesday, we will move everyone into the FDP 2 course and we will be sending an invitation link to everyone. So, by February 2nd evening, all participants should receive an invitation email. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Okay. There is only one more RC who is having a query. This is RC 1316, Ronachari Engineering College. Yes, sir. Good afternoon, sir. Good afternoon. Yes, sir. Actually, we have the university exam starting on 12th May till 26th May. Okay. So, most of the faculty will be busy in the exam duty. Okay. So, will you be consider it for the issue of the dates? Okay. So, again the same issue. So, this is regarding, okay. This is regarding, so are you talking of the ABU sessions or are you talking of FDP as a whole? ABU. ABU sessions. Okay. Now, in, ma'am, one problem. So, the question is, there are certain activities happening at a university level or at some level where the faculty are unable to come for the ABU sessions on specific dates. Unfortunately, we will not be able to reschedule the ABU dates because there are going to be slot clashes one way or the other. If we forward it, some other university will have the same problem. So, the alternate is what, so if you actually look into the methodology that we have used this time around. What we have asked all participants is, we have asked for a summary report based after viewing the recorded interactions that we had put up in YouTube. So, if suppose some faculty does not attend the ABU sessions on either 16th and 17th or on 12th and 13th as well as on 26th and 27th, the alternate is that they could do the activity within the RC, the lab activity inside the RC along with the others. Now, we have given you the activity well in advance this time around. We are giving it more than 12 to 13 days, 14 days in advance. So, they could prepare for this, the only thing is the topic, the topic will be unfortunately we will have to give it only on 12th. So, once the topic is given, what they can do is again our YouTube streaming will be available and we will be uploading this in our YouTube channel. All the faculty participants who are unable to attend the synchronous sessions can watch this YouTube recordings, interact with other RC participants and get an idea of what happened and prepare a summary report. So, this summary report, this needs to be uploaded in as an alternate to their attendance. Thank you. So, if there are any more queries, so I see that many, most of the queries in the chat has been questions, so yeah questions. RC1420 again a similar question. On May 12th, there is a Karnataka assembly election, I understand that. So, as an alternate, what you can try to do is watch the YouTube videos, do the summary activity and see how many of you can actually take part in the breakout session the very next day. This time around if there are RCs, so I believe many of the RCs within Karnataka will have this issue on May 12th. So, all those RCs who have problem, intimate this well in advance to us so that we can schedule an A-view breakout session for all of you separately. So, we will try to schedule a breakout session for all of you on a convenient date and convenient alternate date within this one month period. I hope I have addressed, but it is important that all the faculty participants prepare a summary report and send it to eOutreach. So, the YouTube channel link it is just go to YouTube and type studio IIT Bombay. You will see our channel, so all those people who are having issues with scheduling I hope I have addressed your question. Okay, for people who have submitted course reviews after due date unfortunately we will not be able to accept those submissions. Because see in a large exercise like this it is important that we keep very, so we have given relaxation on the review dates also. So, we have given sufficient time for each faculty participants. It is not that we have asked them to do a review on one day and submit a review the very next day. Only for few A-view breakout sessions where they did not come over on one day we had this issue where they had to submit a review report the very next day. But for all other cases we have given sufficient time for all participants. So, it is important that the due dates be that is one reason we have these due dates and we are in well in advance we are telling you the due dates we are giving you sufficient time and it is flexible. So, that is why due dates are important. Okay, the question from RC1422 it is the registration process subject to approval from RC coordinator. No, it is an automated process you have already approved these participants in the previous FDP. So, we will be directly moving them into the new FDP. And just check whether there are any okay there are few more colleges who have done a hand raise. So, this is RC1176, RC1176 hello. Hello. Yeah. Good afternoon sir. Good afternoon. The question is hello. Yes, yes please go ahead. Okay, the A-view has a different interface for presenter and the viewer. Okay. So, regarding breakout session one of the RC becomes a presenter. Yes. As of such now we don't know the presenter interface of A-view. Okay. So, how could this could be bridge like any RC becomes a presenter. So, he has to know the different interfaces that A-view has. Yes. So, for example, myself doesn't know the presenter interface. So, the break in breakout session it would be difficult for. Yes, I completely understand. So, the issue is regarding how to make A-view sessions more effective with the constraint that most RC coordinators or the course coordinators may not be very much familiar with A-view presenter interface. They may have used A-view as a client or they were the viewers. So, there are lot more functionalities in the presenter interface. Okay. So, RC 1176, question number one, were there any FDP participants from your college during last year who were mentors? Yeah, we were. You were the mentors, right? So, we had given a. No, no, I was not a mentor. Absolutely. I was an interactor. Okay. But were there mentors from your college? No. Okay. So, for RC's, all the course coordinators who have FDP mentors or top performers from 2016 in your college, the easiest solution is please contact these FDP top performers because they have utilized A-view as a, what do you say, a presenter. Now, what I will, so I will check with studio team if they can have a demo session as a presenter before the actual A-view session. Maybe on the Saturday itself, the classrooms that has been allotted, if you could do a 20 to 30 minutes test session, only the course coordinator with other RC's as a presenter, where each one of you do a presenter trial, I think will that solve the problem? Definitely, sir. Okay. So, what we will do is, we will set up the classrooms. We will create a video. Correct. So, what we are going to do is, we will create a video on the presenter interface and we will upload it. Along with that, we will give you a classroom where you are a presenter. I mean, there will be other participants. So, typically your classroom, you will be a presenter. So, you will, you can view the video and learn the things and actually practice it when you are given the presenter slot. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you very much, sir. Yeah. No problem. And thanks for bringing this up. I hope all other RC's have listened to it. I will have the studio team. So, it is going to be a logistic exercise. So, I will have our studio team and workshop team work out the logistics of it. Okay. So, we will let you know about this activity in a week's time. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, sir. RC-1131, Walchand. Good afternoon. Hello. Good afternoon, sir. This is Sunita Do. Post-coordinator from Walchand Chip Technology Singapore, RC-1131. Yeah. So, sir, if it is clear what is to be done during the lab session well-in-advanced, then it will be possible for us to conduct this activity effectively and the participants will also get benefited. So, we will also arrange the local mentor to guide the individual participants. So, it is a request to provide the lab activity details well-in-advanced to the post-coordinator. Yeah. So, the lab activities are very important. Provide the lab activity details well-in-advanced to the post-coordinator. Yeah. So, the lab activity details is already there in the slide. So, it is only the topics that require more thought. So, that will be intimated in a week's time. So, if you check the slides, so the question is about details about the lab activity. So, the lab activity and breakout session, the details are already provided. So, there will be five topics. As an institute, as an RC, you will have to create in-class and out-of-class activities for flip classroom on those five topics. First, you will do out-of-class because first we start with out-of-class activities. Then in the second interaction, you will do in-class activities where you will learn more about the pedagogy. Okay. So, the exact topic details we will let you know in advance. Thank you. Thank you very much. Yeah. This is RC1407 Armin Institute, Pune. Ma'am, you are not audible. Can you check your mic? No, not audible, ma'am. Can you check your mic? Please check the audio out from the mixer. Has it gone correctly to the AVU system? Okay. Armin Institute, what I will do is I will just go to another one. You can post the question in the question tab. I will be addressing it over there. Okay. Yeah. RC1201292 Sagar Institute. Hello, sir. Hello. Sir, I would like to know about the entire tenure of MDP201X. So, the tenure is May 3rd to 31st. Okay. Thank you, sir. And one more thing, as you mentioned that we will be going for MDP3 as well. Yes. So, what will be the tentative timing of MDP3? Okay. So, though it is little premature to say this, but the MDP3rd will actually be around May 17th. We will start around May 17th or 23rd. The brochure is being prepared. We will have to look at logistics. But one thing from, one thing that is going to be different in MDP3 is that there are not going to be weekend interactions. We will be keeping office hours. So, participants can either individually look at the office hours from our YouTube stream or they can, as an RC, if there are lot of MDP3rds, we will have to look at the YouTube stream or they can, as an RC, if there are lot of participants in MDP3rd from an RC, they can use the A-view facility within the RC to actually connect to our MDP3rd classroom. But in that case, is it that MDP201X and MDP3rd will be going on simultaneously as you are mentioning the date May 17th? Yes. Yes. MDP is only for those people who have successfully qualified FDP1 and FDP2 in the previous iterations. So, the participants will be different. Okay. Okay. Thank you so much. Yeah. And one clarification regarding. One more. Tenure. So, the instructions will be from May 3 to 31. The OER submissions will happen somewhere around mid-June or the first week of June and there will be evaluations happening during the third week of June. Okay. Thank you, sir. And it is good that as you mentioned that you will be checking out the academic calendars of different universities to schedule this FDP101X at a more conducive time slot in the coming time because I felt as a RC coordinator that many of the faculties could not follow because of their hectic routine and the wish to complete it successfully but they were literally struggling with the time. I completely understand. So, see one thing is that one thing that we have known right now is that FDP101 can now be given as a self-paced course for most of the faculty. So, the next offering of FDP101 we may have a self-paced course also so that faculty can take it up at their own convenience and do the activities. The only thing is that peer evaluation has to be synchronized. So, they will have to give appropriate, we will have to work out some mechanism through which the peer evaluations will be done by them. Sir, I am Ekta Mishra from CID 1292. I would like to really thank IIT Bombay for this wonderful course. I myself registered as a participant as well so as to get the entire feel of the course along with the rest of the participants. So, we try to do it honestly and thank you so much for the wonderful learning experience for all of us. Thank you. And make sure that if you have, I hope that you have qualified for FDP1. Sir, my grades are 9 points. But since I am not from computer science background, I did a mistake. I shared incorrect URL. But I had prepared the web page as well as Moodle completely and I did the entire thing very honestly. And I had a great learning experience. So, I am very thankful. No problem, no problem. So, 9 points as in you are, is it 90% or is it 0.09? 0.9. 0.9. So, that means you have qualified for FDP1. 0.9. So, do participate, do participate in FDP2. Yeah. So, do participate. Congratulations and do participate in FDP2 also. Okay. Definitely, sir. It's a paradigm shift. I feel for all the faculties who are not using ICT tools and in today's scenario, in order to keep the student engaged and to make our teaching very interesting, it is the need of the time. So, it's a wonderful course. Thank you. I congratulate IIT, a Bombay team for this. Yeah. Thank you. So, let me now take the question from 1063. Can you reduce the echo? Yeah. Please go ahead. Good evening, sir. I am Smita Desai from Diva Patil, sir. Glad to meet you, sir. Yeah. Same here. I am seeing you as another part, sir. Okay, sir. My question is actually, can you, can we see a consolidated list of eligible participants of first, I mean 101 workshop on the RC web portal or RC portal? Okay. So, we are going to, so the question from RC 1063 is, can they see a consolidated list of qualified participants? So, this list is being prepared as we speak and by tomorrow it will be available in the course, part two of the course. Okay. The part two course will be uploading that particular list of participants who have qualified RC-wise. The grades will not be displaying anymore because the grades were for grievances and other things. So, the grades we will be intimating to all RCs separately. Okay. The course coordinators separately. I am unable to hear you, ma'am. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Okay. Great. So, let me now go to RC1278, SDM Institute of Technology. Sir, you are not audible. SDM College, you are not audible, sir. Can you do one thing? Can you pose the question in the questions tab? If somebody, is it regarding the Karnataka Assembly elections? No. I would have so loved to hear the question, but I am unable to hear you, sir. So, there are a lot of RCs in the queue. So, if the interaction ends early, I will come back to you. In the meanwhile, please upload the question, I mean update the question in the questions tab. Sorry, and let me now go to the next RC, RC1148, Krishna Institute of Engineering and Technology. Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Hello, sir. Good evening. Good evening. Sir, my question is, there are 35 participants who are aware in FDP10X. Okay. And among them, the grade sheet which I saw, there are 26. Those who have already qualified for second. Correct. The participants, those who are not qualified, whether they will be allowed or they will be given certificate for FDP101X or not. So, the people who have not qualified will not get certificate. Okay. Because they are asking that, you know, we are not, we are not passed over there. It is written whether they are not passed. Not passed is there. Yeah. So, not passed means no certificate. Okay. And those who are, those who are passed by default, they will be logged into the FDP201X. Yes. Yes. Okay. And so, one more thing is, what about FDP3, which we are talking right now, we have a decision over there. So, FDP3 is for, so once again for the benefit of all RCs, FDP3 is for passed FDP successful participants. Any participant who has scored more than 80% in our previous FDPs will be automatically invited to FDP3. Now, for, if it is a two-part course, FDP1 plus FDP2 marks will be used. That should be greater than 80%. This is just for the pilot offering. But the result of FDP2, I think it will declare later on in June. No, no, no. So, this is FDP3 is for participants in the previous years FDP1 and 2. Not for the current FDP1 and 2 participants. So, they will get their FDP3 chance later. Okay, which was held in 2017? 2017 and 2016. We had two, in the last two years we had conducted similar FDPs. Okay, okay. And actually our center I think 2017 was conducted. Yeah, correct. So, all those people who have scored more than 80% in FDP1 plus 2 combine will get that certificate. Okay. So, we have to invite them on the mail or something. That will be, so the invitation email will be sent from eOutreach to all those participants. Okay. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. No problem. This is RC1016 KJ Somaya, Mumbai. Hello. Ma'am, you are not audible. Can you check your mic? Am I audible now? Yes, yes. Please go ahead. Okay. My question is those who have registered for FDP101 in 2017, I have cleared it. Yes. Now, if they want to register for 201, what is the procedure that they have to follow? Unfortunately, it is not possible. So, it is like you doing who have completed BTEC first year, re-enrolling for a BTEC first year course again. No, no, for 201, they have completed 101 and now they want to register for 201. Okay, okay, okay. Sorry, sorry, sorry. That will be auto. They will be auto-enrolled into FDP101 and they will get an email from eOutreach. Even the people who have completed 101 in 2017. Yes. All of them will be getting an email from. So, the FDP101 is an automated enrollment. So, all those participants who have successfully completed any of the FDP101 in the previous years will automatically be invited for that FDP101. So, they just have to accept the invitation when eOutreach sends them. Okay, fine. Yeah. Thank you. Sure. This is RC-1331, Birlain's shoot of technology, Ranchi. Hello. Good evening. Good evening, sir. Hello. Good evening. This is a very similar question what RC has asked. Like, someone is interested if you have cleared the FDP101 act, right? Yeah. Can we require that candidate to require the permission letter again from this shoot? Directly he. Okay. Regarding the permission letter, I don't think it is required because you have submitted a permission letter in the previous year. So, it is only a clarification as regarding, I hope that they will be able to attend the ABU interactions that is happening on the weekends. The rule still applies that they have to attend all the ABU sessions. Again, question that if someone is interested to discontinue the next. They are involvement in other. Yeah. So, this. Any process? So, the question is regarding, suppose there is a faculty who due to their academic load or other activities is unable to take up FDP101. Is there a separate process for unenrolling? There are no separate processes for unenrolling. They don't have to look at the activities. They don't have to do the activities. It is completely up to them. So, if they are not accessing the course, we will automatically consider them to be unenrolled. So, do not worry about it. This is the last time I had also attended this course. Yeah. During that course, OER activity. During OER, like when we are forming the team. Yes. At that time, the candidates, they were alone only. Right. With that topic, I am also it is possible to create a team or individually they can also form OER. You need to create the form, form the team of two or three members. Yeah. If the topics are not covered, like other members are not in the area. In that case, we can form one member. Okay. So, FDP, this is regarding doubt regarding OER activity. OER activity is a group activity. So, what is important is that within a remote center, the participant as far as possible try to adjust on a common topic. Okay. If nothing works out, let us know in advance. Now, if you tell us on 23rd that I did not get a team. It will be highly impossible for us to search for a new team member or do other things. So, one more additional thing is at least 10 days before the due date. That is at least immediately after the first interaction, fourth or fifth, if participants check and identify that there are no suitable two team members, we will be able to help you out in identifying new team members from across the RCs. And like the interaction is on 12th May and 26th May. Both are basically discussing the five topics. Exactly. One case, 12th May, it is out of class segment. And in the other case, that is the in-class activity. Correct. Sir, I would request you to hold the mic steady so that because your voice is breaking at some point, but I understood the question. The question is, are there any focus questions or focus topics? Yes, there will be focus questions and focus topics for the interactions. We will intimate each course coordinator this by next week. This particular session was to tell you that this is how it is going to be. There will be a initial lab session where each, there will be five topics for which the entire RC has to create out of class and in-class activities together. So, based on the number of people within the RC, you can select the topic that you want to take up and present. The details of the topics and the details of evaluation, etc. will be given to each course coordinator by next week. As soon as the course starts, by around 4th or 5th, we will be able to email you the course topics and detailed instruction on what has to be done. Another question is that why we are going for four interactions? That can be done on the 12th or 13th. Some candidates are also asking why it is time for four interactions. Four interactions are important because this course is about the pedagogy. The pedagogy requires much more finer interactions and descriptions. The first part of the activity is about out of class activity. How do you do the out of class activity? You need to get a feedback from other teams about out of class activity. This will take one full day and you also need to get instructor feedback. There will be specific sessions regarding technology and the flip classroom activity or the rationale for these kind of pedagogy courses. You will have effectively almost a day of feedback from IIT Bombay side and half day feedback from other RCs. You have to get the feedback for both out of class and in class. There are two separate segments and that is why this is four synchronous days. Additionally, if you look at it, the FDP is a two-week equivalent FDP. In a two-week equivalent FDP, each synchronous week is equivalent only to a one-day worth instruction. For two weeks of FDP, for us to give you a two-week equivalent FDP certificate, it is important that we show 10 days of activity. This FDP is only for one month of instruction, which means four days of instruction. With four more days, what we have is four more days, you get four plus four eight days worth actual days, which we can show ASIT that this is the amount of hours invested by the participant and for the OER that is actually there is evaluation and creation that is counted as one full day each. So, creation takes one day, evaluation takes one day. So, that counts up to 10 days of physical activity, which is 14 days, 14 day FDP. As we call it. Thank you. Thanks a lot. Yeah. Okay. This is RC 1146, Knowledge in Shoot of Technology, Salem Tamil Nadu. What was it? Are you able to hear me now? Yes, absolutely. Go ahead please. Okay. Sir, you are asking or you are telling about plagiarism chick, one of the slides and I have one question regarding that. Yeah. The last time the course was run in the month of August till November, a plagiarism check was done and some of our participants who have clearly done all the instructions and clearly done all the activities by themselves. But one thing that it was like they used some of the format, some of the report content which were shared in the format report shared by the IT Bombay team. Yeah. So it was... Reports were falling under plagiarism check and they were withheld the certificates and after which we were forced to send an email to the IT Bombay team and they responded with the actual content is okay and we will be not withstanding anymore and we will be giving the certificates again. Yeah. So that was the procedure which we underwent last time. Yeah. So plagiarism check, do you have any mechanism to... Overcome this. So counter this particular activity or counter this particular activity. So please ensure that you cite the original format report. So this is regarding plagiarism check where it is taken from example report or somebody's previous FDP report to avoid complete plagiarism, ensure that you cite these resources in your citation section. That is the easiest way in which you can avoid the plagiarism issue. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Let's move to... Okay. Yeah. Sir, I have one more question. Yeah. And that is regarding FDP 3. Okay. And you told in one of... I mean you told some time ago that FDP 3 is going to start around May 17th. So in Tamil Nadu, most of the colleges have exams during the time most of the faculty will be invigilating or will be in vacation. So is it possible to convert the P to start from the month of June so that the eligible participants will be able to full-fledged? Okay. So to answer this query, again FDP 3 is a pure online course. So it is completely up to the faculty when they engage in it. So there are no mandatory interactions per say in the month of May. We are keeping office hours. So if a faculty has a specific doubt they can... So it's not just a view that we are using. We are using YouTube also. So they can actually view the office hours in YouTube, our YouTube studio's YouTube channel. And they can ask, clarify their questions from YouTube itself. Now the major involvement is required in... So in June where they have to facilitate interactions with their mentees in preparing the OER. Now that is the place where they need to be involved. Again that also we are giving them a flexibility of the medium of their choice. So even if they have invigilation duty or even if they have any activity they can use any medium that they have to complete the FDP. It is a pure online course. It starts on May 17th and it extends till the end of June to facilitate all the activities in that particular course. Okay sir, thank you. Yeah. So this is RC 1422 AISMS Pune. Yeah please go ahead sir. I am not able to hear your audio sir. Check your mic. Yeah. Tell me sir. The amount that we have taken... Yeah it will cover so the amount of 1000 rupees is for both the FDPs. So FDP 2 does not have a separate piece. And the second question was like, do you do some reason if it is not possible to start the audio interaction on the given days for RRC? Can we take the new FDP 2.2 and FDP in the next session? Yeah. As in, can you elaborate? No, we have our academics going on. The exams are going on. If it is not possible for us to go through the AV interactions on Saturday and Sunday in the month of May. Okay. Then what is the possible solution? See if the RC as a whole is not able to do that, we will see the first alternate is see whether there are other RCs who are having issues on the specific dates. And solution number one is you watch the recordings of our AV sessions and do the breakout sessions separately. Now but we will not encourage this for every FDP. At least there should be a very genuine reason why this is not possible. Now like elections in the region or faculty, all the faculty are having examination duties at other centres. Yes, this is a valid reason. If all the faculty are available inside the institute and institute can do an ABU session, then it is highly encouraged that they do the ABU session because anyway in the ABU Saturday session, there is a half day lab session where the faculty have to do the activities inside their remote centre and there is no ABU requirement for that. And on Sunday, which is actually a holiday, I hope you will not be having any exams on Sunday. Now Sunday is the day where you will have to interact with other RCs. Pardon? I am not able to hear you. Saturdays we have an... Yeah, please go ahead. Hello. Sundays are not an issue, but Saturdays we have an examination overlap. So for the examination overlap, what we are suggesting is at least watch our YouTube recordings and do the activity internally so that you will be able to do the breakout sessions with other RCs the very next day. Now to facilitate this, we are sharing the topics well in advance, sharing the format well in advance to the course coordinators. So as a course coordinator, you can ensure that the activities would be done at the RCs with all participants together and they present this in the next day's breakout session. Any other queries, sir? No, no, thanks a lot. Okay, this is RC 1161, Anurag group of institutions. Hello. Hello. Hello. Yes, you are. Please go ahead. Okay, sir, some of our participants, in the last previous FB, they have qualified for the 101, but they have not done 102, sorry, 201. Now this time also they have enrolled for the FTP from the starting itself. Okay. Okay. Okay. They have done again FTP 101. Okay. Now, as you said in the previous interaction that they are auto enrolled for 201. Yes. The qualified, qualified candidates. Qualified candidates. Then what about the participants who have already registered for this FTP, in this present FTP? They re-register for this FTP. They re-register for this FTP. No, their registration, so people who have successfully completed last year's FTP will not be eligible for participating in the current FTP. How did that happen? No, sir, no, sir. No, participants who have completed first FTP, but they have not completed second FTP. Which year, this year or last year? Last year, sir. When you have split one FTP into two FTPs. Yes. So, people who have successfully completed FTP 101 will not be eligible for participating in this year's FTP 101. Okay. But some of them have participated, sir. They have already done FTP 101 also. How did that happen? I mean, okay. I should be checking with the workshop team on how this has happened, because that is not required. Why did they have to redo the course? I don't know, sir. But they have, again, they have done the FTP one course. Okay. Are they eligible for the current FTP or previous FTP? So, if they were eligible for the previous FTP, so, only one way in which this could have happened is they would have registered using a different email ID in NME, ICT and IIT Bomb Bags. Now, in this case, yes, they will be able to do that. Now, this is not fair. I mean, first of all, this is not fair. I would ask, I would request the course coordinator to tell them the seriousness of the issue. It is like, I mean, we don't have a problem in them doing the FTP, but it becomes a logistical nightmare for us at our end when people use multiple email IDs to register for these kind of courses. So, I mean, in principle, they can actually attend FTP 201 with even their last year's FTP 101 course. So, they don't have to do anything. They will be auto-enrolled. Now, what they are going to see is their first email ID will get automatically invited by eOutreach and they will get another invite in the current email ID with which they have actually done the FTP 101. I am not able to hear you, sir. Can you check your audio? Hello. Yes. As far as I know, they have enrolled with the same email ID with which they have enrolled for the previous FTP, sir. This is highly unlikely. But, yeah, I mean, at least if you can kindly contact eOutreach team with this list of participants, sir. I mean, see, there is no problem. There is no problem from my end. We just want to see how they missed our filter at our end, because we had ensured that all the participants in previous two years FTP who have completed it need not do repeat work. Yes, sir. The same thing. Yeah. So, I mean, it is like you completing BTEC and going again to BTEC first-year class and doing a course. And there is no point in it, right? Yeah. I mean, I understand the learning value, but I mean, why did you put so much effort? That is the question. Yeah, sir. I will find it. Yeah. Okay. So, please share the list with eOutreach team. Okay. RC 1161. Please note this. Yeah, thank you. RC 1140 Shastra University. Good evening, sir. I am Sashikala. Yeah, good evening, ma'am. I am the course coordinator now, sir. Yeah. You just said about FTP3. Yes. Hopefully, I might be one of the participants I expect. I hope that you have qualified for with greater than 80% in our previous FTPs. And do not one. I did score about 80. Okay. Great. So, you will be invited. Don't worry. Okay, sir. So, when I am undergoing that course, will I continue to be the course coordinator? Yes, absolutely. There is no change in your current roles. FTP3 is an independent FTP regardless of what happens in FTP1 and 2. Only thing is to qualify for FTP3 you should have completed FTP1 and FTP2. Okay, sir. I know you also told the duration is from May 11th till the end of June. May 17th till end of June. So, that is the instruction duration. So, you will have to prepare reports and everything during that time. So, there will be some minor materials each week. So, it will not be a heavy instructor led session. It is more about facilitation. So, there will be activities that you have to do. You will have to do a lot of creative activities. You will have to engage in discussions with your other course participants. That will be more in FTP3. It is all about facilitation. Okay? Okay, sir. Yes, sir. And my previous FTP itself I did present my feelings about this course. It was truly a superb course which I ended, went and I am this semester also continuing to use this for my student interaction work too. And it has helped me a lot to link my students with the course and also to enable them to enjoy the benefits of online learning too. Absolutely. I have received a very good feedback from my students also about this. Great. Thank you. Thank you very much for this course. Sure, no problem. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Hi, 1166 Birla, a Beline shoot of technology. Yeah, please go ahead. Good evening, sir. How are you able to hear me, sir? Yes, you are audible, ma'am. Okay, sir. I just wanted to ask you one thing. There are some participants, faculty participants who were doing the course and at that time our center was undergoing the peak of its own academic semester. But and some problems cropped up even though they could have assignments RC01, RC02, but even then they could not get submission lines for submitting their assignments. So if there is, if there are some doors that you can open as a second round to them, they are eager now because the vacations are starting from 1st of May. They should be given as a part of academic ethics, continuous learning ethics, they should be given chance to complete the submission assignments. So the question is regarding in the current FDP, unfortunately due to logistics schedules, we will not be able to take up submissions again. But what we are telling you is that this FDP 1 and FDP 2 courses are going to run again and again. So if they have taken up FDP 1 once, they will be eligible for redoing it next time. The numbers will be very less compared to what they have done this time around. So we will try to look at schedules across the country and we will set up FDP 1 at convenient in a self-paced format. That is what we are actually looking at. But the problem is they had already completed the assignments, they had submitted also, but still their names are not coming in the category of the qualified candidates. Because of some reasons, maybe because even like I being course coordinator, I was asked to submit one TXT in a mailbox. But because of the delayed responses due to unavoidable reasons, a non-availability of the participants, I could not submit because of that their submissions could not be accepted from your end in pipeline. That is the reason. I understand the course coordinator submission it had only very minor issues. So if you actually look at it the lab assignment we had for everything we had an alternator. So if it was two lab assignments one of them was done by the participant and other by the remote center coordinator. So everywhere we had given the choice and if the participant has not qualified, it means that they have not what do you say successfully completed or taken up the skills that were essential from FDP 1. I mean do not worry, they will get FDP 1 in a more sincere and more dedicated manner we are working towards that at the moment. And regarding the next FDP which is coming in the month of May as one of the previous RCs told we are also having the same problem either they will be on vacations or they will be on 3 hours invigilation duty. So I mean okay I heard your response we will be trying our best that our qualified candidates are able to do the group activity what you want and submit their submissions in time such that breakout activity can be performed with other aspects. So see the focus is on the breakout activity I mean you ensure that the breakout activity happens and if you are liberal this time also because see sir redoing FDP sessions is again not possible for every faculty we are involved not involved in teaching we are involved in other tasks like research and what not we are having that load so you have to be lenient ma'am you hope you Ma'am you hope you understand that we are also involved in multitude of activities other than FDPs ourselves so we have an entire team who are required to do multitude of activities at our end and see we are giving you sufficient relaxations as in we are putting up these things in YouTube we are encouraging you to do the summary I mean view them in YouTube but only thing that we are asking you to do is the at least the breakout sessions together see we are trying to accommodate as maximum as possible and this is a very scaled effort it is not just 2 or 3 remote centers that we are catering to we have a total of 113 remote centers in this particular FDP you are doing things at scale it is important that we stick to the deadlines we stick to the schedule because otherwise others are being unnecessarily put in the trouble but even with all these limitations we are trying our level best to be accommodative to be because this is a larger goal we understand that faculty have so it is not that we do not know the issues on ground we understand that there is NBA accreditation problem we understand that there are going to be other management related activities in house activities students doing this and that disciplinary issues and other things but see even with that what we are asking you is there is only a very minimum thing that we are asking we are asking you to interact with each other because that is the only way ahead and so please and we are this time around we are giving things much well in advance we are having a session with all course coordinators giving them this is what is going to happen we are informing you what topics are we are informing you how the activities will be done now how much more liberal can we be ma'am it is okay see regarding registrations we should consider that the candidates who are qualified they are auto enrolled yes they will be no formal procedures no formal procedures no formal procedures required no approval or any other kind of things they can access 201 content directly on their old page yes they will get an email from eoutreach just ask them to click the link that is it excuse me sir actually I have registered in the course after 10 days and there was a I found that through the coordinator I found that there was a problem from IIT Bombay itself and after the start of course we have registered after 10 days but still we did both the assignments and I have submitted my both the assignment before time it is showing that I have not submitted what is the reason I will not attend I will not go for the course again because in spite of my submission it is showing that non-submission so what about these problems actually my registration was already in problem and I could register after 10 days I was able to access my course after 10 days because of technical difficulty from there itself if it is a if it is a technical issue from our end I will make sure that it gets addressed immediately I mean if you are having if you are seeing that it is not submitted the only issue that I can expect it to happen is there might be a net connectivity issue at the time of your submission but I will check what has happened at the back end have you seen your grades for these activities have you been graded for these submissions yes sir I have seen and there is no grading it is showing that I have not submitted but I have 100% I have I mean during the there was no technical problem from my end which are these which are these activities sir RC1 and RC2 both which is showing that I have not submitted both I have submitted I have given my mail I have given the mail to the course support also and one feedback also I have submitted but again no action has been taken till date through me she had submitted the mail through me she had submitted the mail but no response had arrived from that please if it is possible I will look into this case personally and I will ensure that appropriate actions are being taken to address your issue you will receive a mail from me in couple of days give me a couple of days to actually understand the issue and I will email back to you my name is Sunita what is your name what is your name ma'am Sunita actually my login is Sunita ICT Sunita ICT please note it down from remote center 1166 her name is Sunita Suni okay great so I will don't worry Sunita ma'am I will have a look at what exactly happened and I will personally reply to your email thank you very much sir no problem yes hello RC1408 yes you are audible okay so so I have a couple of questions that in this FDP you told that FDP201 will be auto enrolled so what is the past qualifying marks last time I completed FDP1 and FDP2 and it is above 90% I am having but this time last time what happened was there and the pass mark was 35% so you are talking about auto enrolled so what is the qualifying marks this time okay I mean all those FDP participants who have successfully completed FDP1 with 50% this year will be qualified to FDP2 auto enrolled they will be auto enrolled so not less than 50% so last time it was less than 50% that was because there were issues in the questions as well as in the logistics so there were some issues which we had to accommodate that is why we had reduced it to 40% not 35% 40% 40% and what is this time in mentor mentee will be there in FDP2 so yeah it depends so yes mentor mentee will be there but only for the open educational resources so there will be a mentor for helping out the participants in OER creation and the other activities it is it will be based on FDP3 so the mentors will be from FDP3 so that is how we have that is why an overlap comes there will be mentor mentee or not there need not be a view interactions they can decide on the mode of interactions themselves so who will be the mentor you decide IIT Bombay will decide or the RC will decide IIT Bombay so they will be all the FDP3 participants so that is why we are creating an FDP3 course it is specifically for mentoring so they will be coming from that from my and one thing is so actually you have told that it is self-sustained course and what I observed in West Bengal most of the participant from the RC itself so last time what the hurdles to us we are from Malo Minster Technology my RC was 200 kilometers away from my college so now we are the RC 1408 so what is happening all the participant from RC itself so as the enemy ICT mission is 10 to 10,000 teachers and it is a self-sustained course also and how the remote centers suppose in West Bengal 2 remote centers now, IRCM and Malo so in West Bengal how many teachers are there if it is a self-sustained course please think on it and if the fees may be removed from the participant end or means may be provided by the government that will be better to us because what I feel I went to the Kolkata means that is 200 kilometers stay at hotel or somewhere else it is really a challenging so what I feel personal feel don't I am not comparing to IIT Bombay okay so and what I try to ask if is there in AICD AICD mandate what they will into their personal interest suppose I want to learn I can learn it otherwise if there is no personal interest if is there in AICD mandate or rules okay who is the faculty of the engineering or engineering AICD approved colleges then they have to complete the FTP 1 or FTP 2 like VAD or DLAD in primary and high secondary education so this is there in the mandate AICD mandate or not so there are no specific mandates at the present time but AICD has approved these courses we are working towards see to make this a mandate and other things there are multiple hurdles it's a policy change right and IIT Bombay alone cannot do this that is we are trying we are pushing for some changes at our end but it will take some time and also regarding the funds and other things we are also see if there were sufficient funds at our end we would have completely waived off the participant piece because we understand the importance of these courses to faculty but see there is also a counter fact to that we have to understand there have been cases where many other faculty may not be from your remote centers or may not be from many of the remote centers who are participating right now who have not taken these very seriously because it is a free course they do it at their own flexibility then they ask for I mean what do you say extensions considering their case there are lot of these requests and other things that are coming in and one way one thing that we have seen is the moment we put up a course see even now we say that thousand rupees for a faculty for two courses is not a high amount it is actually a slightly what do you say 500 rupees per course if you actually look it split it by a course by course now that is a very small amount I mean 500 rupees for a 4 week course by any standards by the as per the current pay standards also it is not a huge amount for a faculty I mean I can understand if a student completes but if a faculty says that I cannot invest 500 rupees for one course that is slightly I mean we have we are trying to accommodate most and this thousand rupees is only for the RC I mean we IIT Bombay is not taking a single penny from any of the faculty we are actually inviting more faculty to come in but since RCs are providing these services they also need to be renumerated that is why we are looking at this sustained mood self sustained mood so for if the RC is able to accept any person without a waiver then we are happy I mean we are also more happy that more RCs are willing to do this no no my question is so when it is free that should be compulsory so when it is when it is free when we make us it as free that should be compulsory there is no chance to take it lightly but unfortunately that is not what happens right you should be better knowing faculty mindset than me and no no what I believe the most of the participants from the RC itself yeah so see some RCs are so I will tell you an example I think it was BMS college who is also a participating RC this time what they have done is they have given a 20 percentage they have kept for people coming from other RCs and the moment 80 percentage of their seats get filled they will not allow participants from their RC to register for the course now at RC level they should take innovative strategies like this so that others will also be benefited you others will also know and one more thing is that we are increasing the number of remote centers now so the more people get listen to these attend these sessions you will have more remote centers and that will also help us in scheduling these kind of activities in a more manner in future so unfortunately the only 44 47 in west bungalow yeah the mission of any way it is not going to be fulfilled ok thank you very much and we will have no problem yeah so this is RC 1065 phenolics academy hello ah not audible sir ah not audible can you check ok I will come back to you meanwhile check the audio settings I have one more RC over here RC1278 SDM institute thank you for patiently waiting till 530 hello SDM institute Ujire Karnataka let me find out the question that you have posted hello yeah please go ahead I was able to listen to you at some point of time SDM institute SDM institute I am not able to hear you SDM institute you have not mentioned the question you said that you have a question can you put that in the question tab again I am not able to hear you over here I will also check the chat window to see whether you have posted something over there please make sure that you post it in the questions tab put the question in the questions tab I am looking at that tab right now meanwhile I will go to another RC 1447 Vimal Jyoti thank you for staying so late hello sir hello good evening sir I am Johnny P. Joseph I am from RC 1447 my question is my question is that I have completed the first and second FTPs last year and one of my colleagues he has also done it and right now he is the answer coordinator here but he has in RC FTP2 he has a great sheet of 0.79 0.79 he has the grade of 0.79 okay will he be able to be a participant in FTP301 okay so the question is there is a participant who has got only 79% in FTP192 combined together unfortunately for this offering we will not be able to accommodate him but see this offering is a pilot offering for us to understand how FTP3 is received by all faculty okay so we had to draw a line we drew a line at 80% I mean we had to draw a line and we know that the moment we draw a line there will be someone who is close to the line who is on to the other side of the line we will not be able to accommodate anyone at this point but in future what we are going to do is once we see the effectiveness of FTP3 all people who have qualified for FTP1 and 2 come into FTP3 because that is a larger aim that we have across the next 2-3 years we will be working on that okay I am just now looking into the questions look in the chat chat chat SDM institute I hope you have put that in the chat okay so I see a suggestion from SDM institute kindly conduct FDP30X in following mode part 1 offered as a MOOC content should exclude peer review part 2 is okay there is a suggestion that is coming in I do not know what part 2 was part 2 will be with peer review so yes we will be having we will definitely consider your suggestion so there will be the FTP3 is meant to be an online course itself and our facilitators will be available only for doubt clearing so we have scheduled office hours in the first 3 weeks of interaction the remaining part of the course is MOOC is in a MOOC format where you actually interact with each other and you complete all the activities the details about the graded activities etc will be known to the participants will be letting you know in a couple of weeks before the start of the course so okay so this suggestion is regarding okay it is for general participants so one thing for an initial offering we want to see how this course is being taken up by participants how much they benefit in which areas they benefit so we needed a pilot offering and this is actually FDP3 pilot offering if found successful we will ensure that FDP3 is in a pure online format all participants who have completed FDP1 and 2 will be available can access FDP3 regarding completely learner flexibility we will try to devise some mechanism so that general learners also benefit from the resources created in the FDP thank you for the suggestion I completely understand from where this is coming in so in future we will ensure that all FDP participants 1 and 2 participants be eligible for FDP3 that is where we are actually looking at phenolics academy they had a question yes so all the participants who are in the initial 4 week AICT approved FDP will be eligible for FDP3 provided they get more than 80 percentage in the evaluation of that particular FDP I understand so each FDP we are making so many minute changes but what we are also encouraging is that see the learning whatever we learn we are trying to give it to maximum amount of people and we hope that locally these institute will also start spreading the knowledge at their own places see this all these FDP courses the course content is in creative commons so there is nothing stopping you from taking these course content and offering a local course for all the participants ideally we would want that and FDP FDP3 is aimed at equipping you to do that so this is this is the purpose of FDP3 and eoutreach will be sending an email to all these successful candidates about FDP3 in a few days I mean either by tomorrow evening that is when the thing will so we are having some testing some functionalities at our end once that test is completed an email will be sent to all I hope I have answered most of the queries that have come up so regarding registration additional content questions questions tab yeah I think most of the questions have also been taken up so what we will do is I will have our course team to collect gather all these questions and I hope whatever have not been answered we will let the course coordinators know by next week this particular interaction is available in our youtube channel studio IIT Bombay youtube channel please go and watch this in youtube thanks for all course coordinators who have come who had connected and who have stayed so late thank you for all the staff who are present here in supporting this effort thank you once one and all and that is all from IIT Bombay from our end over and out good day to all thank you
