 Dear esteemed colleagues, greeting from IIT Bombay, I am Deepak Phatak and jointly with my colleagues, Professor Kannan Mousgalyan and Professor Sridharayar, we have proposed a holistic approach to achieve large scale enablement of our faculty members for effective teaching along with collaborative content creation. The ground realities are that most teachers in our 3500 engineering colleges are fresh bees or bees with few years of experience and therefore, a training engagement is essential for them. We have been producing very good quality contents for example, through important efforts such as NPTEL. However, I submit that these contents alone are not adequate because there is a little chance of their getting actually adopted. This happens because the contents have been created keeping in mind the high quality requirement of important concepts being grilled and rather tough level of problems that are solved in most of the institutions which create these contents. However, the local colleges, the students and teachers who have to stick to a set syllabus and who have to follow a given examination pattern are unlikely to adopt these because they do not find anything directly useful. We do conduct IST and QIP workshops which are vital. However, they can train about 30 to 40 teachers at a time. These are important because they contribute in terms of some points which they participating teachers score which are useful in their own career path. However, these cannot serve the numbers. Just as a comparison, IST workshop funding is about 4285 rupees per teacher week and to engage teachers for 4 weeks and 1000 teachers the cost works out to about 1.71 crores. We believe that a holistic approach is required which will engage these teachers, scale up to a large level and will provide modifiable and usable contents by everyone. The theme points of our proposal is that we will use IST to achieve these scales. As to the MOU that we have with ISRO, we have a channel through which we are currently broadcasting our existing courses live to multiple centres. We propose to use this channel in summer to train up to 1000 teachers who can attend in one go from about 30 remote centres of ISRO. These people will be engaged in collaborative content development which will be meaningful for every locale, every university and there would be a sense of participation and ownership. We propose an extended engagement over 3 months although the duration of the workshop technically is 4 weeks. Further, the contents which will be released in open source will provide easy access to all rich and poor and a collaborative portal for future use will permit hundreds of thousands of students and teachers to remain engaged with each other to use these contents and refine them further. The ISRO centres at IST workshop will offer a coordinator each. The process of selecting coordinators is already on. These coordinators will come for a one week workshop at IIT where we will discuss the actual syllabus content which as I said will include not only IIT style syllabus but also the syllabi of different colleges will decide on the large tutorials and assignments and these coordinators will subsequently help in collation of the contributions. We will then conduct a 4 week IST workshop out of which 2 weeks will be through interactive lectures at IIT Bombay or delivered at IIT Bombay but attended to by these teachers in 35 centres where they will do the tutorials and labs. Subsequent to this they will be engaged for 2 more weeks completing assigned tasks such as contributing additional audiovisual clips, slides, questions, assignments, tutorials and so on. At the end of 2 months period we will collect, collect, edit all the audiovisual contents and textual contents and release this as a package in open source. We will continue the engagement through a collaborative portal which will permit us to have feedback monitoring and corrections. On the whole I believe that this approach will permit us to scale up using the technology and engage a very large number of teachers which could be fruitful in the subsequent interest that these teachers may develop in further collaborating for their master's projects or PhD projects and so on and of course the teaching in co-courses could become very, very effective. Thank you very much.
