 Incidentally, I might like to add that two of the universities, the Karnataka Technical University, and today morning I talked to Rajiv Gandhi Pradhika Kedyalayit Madhya Pradesh. They are both ready to adopt the blended MOOCs model of IIT Bombay. I have not been able to talk to Gujarat Technical University people. They were here. Wonderful, sir. Thank you. Okay, good, good. We'll deliberate upon it later. Let me invite Professor Karnan Malkalya, who has been the coordinator of all national mission projects here. And he will try to highlight the achievements of the various national mission projects outside IIT Bombay. We'll talk post-lunch of the projects that are being done in IIT. Karnan, all yours. All right, this is, first of all, welcome, once again, good afternoon. And it is going to be the most difficult session because this session is between you and lunch, between us and lunch. And there are a lot of things that many experts have come from various parts of the country to explain some of the projects that are happening through NME ICT. Before I get started, I want to once again emphasize the working papers that are in your bag. We want you to go through that and select one or two groups in which you want to work. In fact, Mr. Pawan Agrawal keeps emphasizing that the main reason why we are organizing this workshop is to come up with some recommendations in the afternoon and to present them tomorrow. So I would like you to go through this. By 4 o'clock, you have to give that feedback. At 4.15, we will start that session. I thought I would take one minute to explain that. So how are we going to do this session? Because there are five talks here. The first one is on NPTEL by Professor Barney Bhattacharya from IIT, Kharagpur. And then we have seven minutes each for each of the talks. In fact, I would like to call this as demos. And the details will be through the stalls, banners, posters, and brochures, and so on. The second one will be by Professor Santosh Narona. He will talk about virtual labs. Then Kamal will give a demo of A-View. ERP will be given by NK Singh from IIT, Kanpur. And Pedagogy will conclude that session with Professor AK Raaz, AK Raaz's presentation on Pedagogy. So we expect it will take about 40 minutes. We will have seven minutes to give the presentation or the demo. There will be one minute for answering question and answers. During the time, I would request the next speaker to come and set up there so that we don't waste that one minute time also. During that one minute, this previous presenter can actually answer questions. So Professor Barney Bhattacharya. Good morning, everyone. My presentation is on NPTEL, which you already, most of you know a lot about NPTEL. NPTEL stands for National Program for Technology Enhanced Learning. It was the first phase was started in around 2003 and the second phase started in 2007. It will conclude in March this year. So we would be concluding both phases of NPTEL successfully and creating more courses than we originally thought we would. NPTEL, the precursor of NPTEL was a program of campus distance education program called LNET 3L, launched by IIT, Kanpur, Professor AK Raaz and myself leading the program and based on that the NPTEL program was conceived. So NPTEL, the reason for having NPTEL, starting NPTEL was to bring up the standard of engineering education in the country. As we all know, there are diverse colleges with diverse standards of education in the whole country. So, we thought that if we recorded lectures, video lectures and also made web courses on the different topics in engineering education by the renowned teachers, good teachers and distributed them to the colleges, then the teachers would look at these courses and get educated not only on the domain knowledge on the area, but also on the methodology of teaching. As a consequence, the standard of education in the colleges would improve. So this was the reason for having NPTEL, starting NPTEL in the first place. But when we launched NPTEL, we found that more than the teachers, students themselves are using the courses. So now, we have students, teachers as well as professionals using NPTEL courses. Some data and some idea about the NPTEL courses, the technology is already available and will only improve. Communication bandwidth and computer power per unit cost will continue to increase. Improvement and quality of professionals emerging from the universities, that is one of the areas that is very important for us. It offers opportunities for cross disciplinary learning. So cross disciplinary learning, interdisciplinary learning is another area which is important. While professionals can update their knowledge while being on the job and industry, academia, but partnership can be enhanced through the NPTEL program. So these are the opportunities that are provided by the NPTEL program. This is a screen shot of the NPTEL website. So this shows you how the NPTEL website looks. The addresses are given below NPTEL, IITM dot hc dot in and u tube dot com. So these are the sites where you can go and see the NPTEL site. These are the course wise, institute wise distribution of courses, ISE Bangalore video courses, 64 web courses, 52. So we find that basically IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharapur and IIT Madras have contributed most to the NPTEL courses as of now. So total of 1231 courses have been completed as of now and some of them are on the web, most of them are on the web or on the server and some of them are being reviewed. The NPTEL courses were decided that NPTEL courses would have four quadrants. The main quadrant would be the content, the content of the course, the basic thing that is included in the course area. Animations and visuals, illustrations, video clips, this would be the second quadrant. The third quadrant would be supplementary reading, websites, resources which the student would be guided to. These are, this is would be the third quadrant and the fourth quadrant would be problem quizzes, assignments that would be embedded within the courses. So each course would have all four components. So it would not be just an e-book or just a video lecture, but would have all these quadrants embedded in it. Each course would provide contents for 40 or more one hour lecture. So each course would be having at minimum 40 one hour lectures. The syllabus of the courses would be basically the IIT syllabus plus the syllabus of other basic universities would be included, was included like Hanna University, JNQ, Hyderabad, B2, Belgaon and these four courses were modularized for adoption. So it was in a modular form. Project deliverables at the end of 2013, more than 900 engineering science and management courses with about half of them in video format. So courses were made, each course was made both in the video format as well as in the web format, because each format has its own advantage. Video format has certain advantages, web format has certain advantages. So course like digital signal processing for example, would have a video course and there would be a web course on digital signal processing also. Branches and levels covered most engineering disciplines at UG level and many electives for PG level, basic sciences PG level and management or MBA program. Broadcast quality videos and compressed formats modular courses, courses were in a modular format so that each module if a course becomes outdated a module can be taken out, another module can be embedded. So that it was in a modular format text transcription, so transcription of in a textual format was available, subtitling for all video courses. Translation of spoken text into Hindi and other regional languages, ask a question by the readers and bookmarks, these were the things that were thought to be done within 2013 and most of them have been achieved. Other special features were all videos in multiple download formats were available and streaming formats, all web based courses with additional learning and support materials, enabling institutions to acquire NPTEL courses and use them freely. So NPTEL courses were given free of cost to all institutions and now even to all private industries conduct many workshops, we have conducted each IIT or each institution involved in NPTEL have conducted many workshops, awareness workshops among teachers and students and discipline related workshops also, encouraging courses course creation by partners other than 7 IITs and IISC. So initially the IITs and IISC were the institutions that were doing the courses, but now other institutions have been included in making the courses, encouraging collaborators to add value by adding a quadrant of learning. So sometimes the quadrant is missing, sometimes animation or graphics portion is missing or assignment or quiz portion is missing, so these can be added by other institutions also included. So these are the access things for NPTEL, videos are available on these areas, this website, social educational networking, accessing NPTEL through videos, courses videos call it through internet sites, mirror site options and awareness workshops, course specific and faculty centric workshops. So next we will have Professor Santhosh Narana, he is my colleague at IIT Bombay, Professor Ranjan Bose of IIT Delhi is coordinating this work, in fact I forgot to tell that NPTEL work is coordinated by Professor Mangal Sundar at IIT Madras, Professor Santhosh Narana. Thank you. So I would like to briefly discuss the activities happening nationwide on the development of virtual labs, this is an activity as was pointed out by Professor Kandan coordinated by IIT Delhi, the director of IIT Delhi is the lead investigator and Professor Ranjan Bose coordinates. The motivation for this is relatively simple, physical distance is limit the performance of experiments and given that most lab infrastructure is expensive it is impossible to share and utilize this efficiently, for example the labs at IIT Bombay typically tend to be used on afternoons for about 3 hours a day and they may idle the rest of the day and the attempt essentially is to see whether we can get such infrastructure usable round the clock and efficiently by a large number of students at remote locations and further aspect of this is as we start evolving better lab infrastructure, when we develop quality infrastructure can we then go about sharing these resources efficiently. So the basic idea is that we need physical labs or simulators which are located remotely and then access through the internet by several remote users and the formal objectives that the virtual labs scheme for enemy ICT mandated us was to come up with the mechanisms for remote access to labs in various disciplines of science and engineering and then to come up with the learning management system to facilitate the deployment of such lab equipments and to enrich these with web resources, video lectures, animated demonstrations and evaluation methodologies and also to try and avail make these available to students so they could learn at their own pace towards ultimately arousing their curiosity and we have had discussions of these earlier in the morning. The original intent was for the users for virtual labs to primarily be college students and teacher and instructors but it is curious we are seeing that the number of high school students are interested in availing of these resources and some of the simulators that have been developed are now so rich in terms of features that we are looking at researchers trying to access some of these in various institutes. There are six, sorry there are 12 participating institutes involved in developing content Delhi takes the lead and we all have now a single common front end through which we all go the vlab.co.inside. There has been over the last three years attempts at focus development on three categories of labs which are relevant to technical universities these primarily are modeling and simulation based and the point here is that things are done by simulators the scale very well with the deployment of larger servers in terms of numbers as farms but then in terms of bringing in more realism into the deployment of lab experience we need to make some of these measurements based and so there are measurement based labs where the data is collected from real hardware and then deployed via software approaches towards a large number of students and the third category is the hardest to enable which is a remote triggered the piece of hardware. Now the project status for virtual labs is as follows there was an initial pilot phase where proof of concept was to be expected and ten labs were to be developed each lab was supposed to have about ten experiments pretty much matching a semester long activity in a particular department it turns out that we managed to put together 23 labs following which we went into a main phase where we were required to come up with 80 simulation based labs and 85 labs were developed and released and launched by the HRM Minister in 2012 and subsequently there's been an effort to look at development of remote triggered labs and there are 35 labs which are in various stages of development around the country at the stage they span a large number of disciplines the various engineering departments are represented but also life sciences a typical experience with a simulation lab would be for a student to go for example to a chemical engineering lab where he has access to several experiments and this would happen via login mechanism a standard login mechanism and then the student gets to see the various objectives understand the theory in detail even look at the videos of the actual experiment being done at a particular location in this case this was done at IT itself gets to take a pre-viva and based on the performance in the pre-viva is allowed to proceed on to the actual simulator and proceed to the simulator at each point is forced to come up with logical choices for various settings and then is evaluated on the spot as to the validity of those settings the users also requested to provide feedback so that we end up enriching this whole experience a large number of those labs have been developed as I said now in terms of remote triggering they've been several attempts at coming up with the devices which are relatively foolproof in terms of making these available to people at distant locations you've got to realize that if somebody tries a relatively abnormal setting that this potentially could cause a nice disaster in one of our labs here in terms of hardware blowing up so the safety issues with remote triggered labs have been addressed to a large extent now in terms of coming up with safeguards but they bring in this realism that certain engineering disciplines mandate which is that you can't always simulate with the very simple pieces of software what is a highly non-linear or non-ideal process so we've got this particular device that's available in nostals for the investigation I would encourage you all to visit our stall a little later so in this case the student is supposed to register and log in and then once a connection is made they proceed to execute some of the own code that they have in what is a as it turns out an experiment in process control skip to all of this for lack of time in terms of the impact that we have had they've held field trials in several colleges at this stage and we have approximately a thousand faculty members have been trained in the deployment of these labs and we're holding workshops all over the place as of now and we're going essentially into a mode where given that we have got tremendous feedback from students and faculty that we want to format where we interact with the various technical universities in terms of formulating an ecosystem where the various colleges service nodal centers where we can hold workshops train the local instructors and essentially enable them towards further reaching out to the colleges in the other world thank you you'll find more details of the stall and I'm at this particular website sorry if I'm being extremely rude to the speakers but more details are available in the stalls and you will have a chance to visit these and you'll be able to see them so next one is a view by Professor Kamal Bichilani from Amruta University will be presenting it is being used extensively in the 10,000 teacher training program as a matter of fact I'm supposed to be the coordinator of this project talk to a teacher project of which IIT Bombay and the Alba universities university are also partners and we are glad to have Kamal good morning as has already been mentioned a view is probably being used by a lot of you here and so we'll focus on the main things a view is a e-learning platform that we have as part of the mission and it is you can be used for classroom meetings and trainings currently actually there are classes as was mentioned being done by the IITs right now and these are some of the classes which you know we have a short recording for so here for example you're seeing the class actually and these are recordings of live classes that are done from IITs to 3,000 students at 100 colleges live so this is going on right now five hours a day Monday through Friday and they are using a view for this live classes at various places so different models are being used people are using chalk and board people are using on the writing on the paper people are using different different models and doing these live classes this is part of the QEE that was mentioned by a few personnel here so these are the various and there are live interactions during these classes also and so here what we are showing is that what a view fundamentally is is an online collaboration platform so when the teacher changes the content so there is 3d content the teacher changes the content it changes everywhere simultaneously instantly so this is already working and this is being used for changing the content as you can see so the this gives you overall picture of the major features of a view I won't go into each feature at a very high level you can see that there is audio video processing it can be done such that you have different bandwidths available on the receiving end so that we can go to our rural areas and we can go high definition also simultaneously we can have presentations we can have whiteboards we can have 3d models interactive 3d models and this is one area in which I would like all our knitters and universities to participate in because at this point we are not using much multimedia content so that is one area I think which we need serious development so this is 2d animations and we have a 2d animations here so when I am showing these these are not just animations they are collaborative in a view so you are at one node you're running it and hundred people are seeing the same thing live and you are controlling it for everything you can pause it speak over it desktop sharing video sharing you can take any video from YouTube or from your desk and share it with everyone you can we are looking at small games and interactive things also right now we have various ways of live evaluation and feedback so that user can do a hand raise so that the teacher knows there is a question in fact what doctor Fartuck has done we feel is a totally new paradigm shift in online classes he has created classes of 10,000 people at a time which is not heard of in the entire world live because of that at the same time you have 10,000 people live so what entire e-learning this a view is being customized so that we can handle that kind of a class like so we have sometimes 300 nodes logged in and you know Mr. Sajjan here and Kavita and Mukta all these people are giving us feedback as to how we should be customizing a view and we are doing that so you know you can have a hand raise and there could be 300 people we have another facility for asking questions so all the questions are there in text form and the people who are asking the questions can vote for them so that you know what is the most popular question among the people and that comes to the top automatically so in other words what we have here we feel is the birth of a totally new paradigm huge online classes so we have online tests and quizzes also to evaluate these students and you can evaluate thousands of them at the same time you can use tablets also as part of that so each student here for example could be holding an Akash tablet and then their quiz would be individually evaluated in this model the entire session is recorded it can be played back and edited there can be webinars you can set up your own classes your own lectures and your own your institution basically with a view for each institution we are giving you letting you do whatever you want you can even set up your own servers you can have online meetings with many people at the same time what we have accomplished so far is a views currently being used in 3500 colleges and 450 universities for classes and we have currently put it on NKN and NIC networks that is almost complete now so that everyone will have access to it for classes and meetings and there's a desktop version Windows version and runs on all platforms so we have had the 10,000 teacher class we have these live videos that I showed you we do a lot of research product research in many areas I won't go into that right now at Amrita and with bomb all the IITs to stay abreast of all the technologies and integrate them into this project for example in image recognition itself we have biometric login we are going to do semi-automatic attendance so that you will if there are 100 nodes connected with 50 people each in theory you have 5000 people sitting there but we will actually verify that through the camera we will have a total people count we will find out if you are sleeping or awake and whatever is written on the whiteboard will be convert automatically to text we have heard of text to speech we will also have text to sign language we'll do a one minute demo and then we'll be done start short ramesh hello everyone my name is Ramesh guntha today we'll go through a demo by learning about four stroke engines so first let's go to 3d model here I can present we can see the 3d model and I can rotate and you can see it from various angles and you can see the various parts as well camshaft pistons crankshaft timing belt etc and you can play this model as well and while it playing you can see how the whole parts and everything are moving and not only that I can also take the parts apart and then discuss them for example now I have taken the timing camshaft and we can see various cams and position in different angle now we can go back to the document sharing to learn about the four different strokes of a cylinder of a IC engine so here the first stroke is intake stroke second stroke is a compression stroke where the mixture fuel air mixture is pressed and the spark plug ignites them and the third stroke is the power stroke where the combustor gases push the push the piston down and generate the power and the fourth stroke is the fourth stroke is the exhaust stroke where the gases go out of the cylinder now let's go to the whiteboard to understand how this power is generated so here we are seeing the P by V graph of the four different strokes and the power is generated in the area just show the last movie for a 10 second time is out equal to the area so now let's see how the engine is assembled using a YouTube video I'm sharing a YouTube video by Ford Motor Company and here you can see that the engine head is getting assembled and the valves are coming in and they are getting assembled so this is a this is how we can teach complex subjects through a view in an engaging manner using various multimedia and thank you very much so thank you very much you know this is one example of online collaboration using a view we'll see you at the stop thank you thank you apologies again okay next one is ERP our educational resources planning project coordinated by Professor YN Singh of IIT Kanpur unfortunately he's unable to come here so he has deputed his project engineer Mr. N. K Singh who is ready with this and you'll give a brief presentation so please do mention about the usage also thank you so good afternoon everyone now representing the ERP that is educational resource planning so what are component develop under that first we explain that then before that we tell the objective so the component developed under open source so that no cost and that is immediately once it developed be immediately releases as soon as possible that is our policy so the and every component have a single sign on we can give the demo online so in that case we need a network so that we can show because we have a live server for the national service so you connect what we have what we have utilized in the MOU is this is a generic package which has been prepared now the state technical university along with Neter will identify a local partner which will customize this package towards the needs of our state colleges and the state technical university so that has been miss us this is only a generic package so we create a first website that is ERP portal all the application are listed there either you go with that or you directly connect with that particular application so this is the main home page and the URL is two zero two one four one dot four zero dot two one eight this is easily accessible for everywhere and the first is the ERP portal so this is the portal here we all the component first is Brespathy this is the learning management system with that system you can upload the course content to the students you can take the online examination short quiz you can take the assignment you can discuss with the teacher now second is the Brespathy general accounting system so all the complete accounting with your projects or your institute or university you can hold it there that is budget control system and library management system there is a payroll system there is a purchase inventory control management system project management system election management system student portfolio system some other component or not listed there so first we show the Brespathy how it look like so this is the first page for Brespathy system currently 230 institute are registered with the system they are using that system some are some are not so we will show how instructor part look like so all the parts first goes the first part just just explain so the screen now third is so this is how look like at the instructor end now till so this is the instructor end these things are available so instructor can use it you can upload the marks student can see only own marks not the other student marks and this is accounting system and all the links will come directly from the Brespathy learning management system so where we configure this can be connect from where so these are the accounting system here you can generate your own account chart of accounts so some samples accounts are there that has supply provided by the m h r d so all these things will be there you can generate the balance sheets reports this type of report income expenditure statement even you can submit the entries and this is the next is payroll system so we have again many other systems so last is directly reaches in election management system we conduct two elections for the IATK alumni system all over the world election run 30 days and we get the correct results payroll system is so how you contribute you can provide the inputs for the update of designs all the systems are multilingual as well as the multi institutional system this is running in all Indian languages and you can log in in that system with your Google ID Yahoo IDs all the open IDs you can connect or with the local authentication system we have run the Brespathy remote system so all the applications would connect with that okay thank you important URLs so you can get and more detail you can find in our install where we provide the complete list of URLs okay thank you Mr. Singh so we actually wanted to conclude this session with the very important talk presentation of any very important project on pedagogy outcome-based learning instruction and things like that so we have professor A.K. Ray and and so professor A.K. Ray has been active in this for many years one used to be the most important contributor to NPTEL we saw that NPTEL's contribution from IIT Kharagpur was one of the highest if not the highest and professor A.K. Ray was the main person in fact I was told that many faculty colleagues would run away when they saw professor A.K. Ray coming because he was trying to convince everybody to get on to NPTEL board now but then he always wanted to do this pedagogy project so we wanted to close this session with a presentation on the pedagogy project which is one of the most important projects in the mission. What I try to do in seven minutes it normally takes me three hours but what I try to explain in seven minutes is the basic concept it is somewhat different from the other projects in the sense it does not produce any content it has no content at all what it is saying I would say it does not have any content at all what it is saying is that any teaching learning before a teacher begins to teach they must know exactly what they want to achieve from the students. The outcome based learning says that at the end of the course or a class or a module what exactly should the student be able to do so this is what is supposed to be class size becoming too large for effective face-to-face teaching everybody knows that wide variety of there isn't why I put that in because whenever I say such things people will say you know still classroom teaching is the best the adequate change is is the most important part wide variety of high quality learning resources becoming available in cyber space. What I am saying is content generation is taking place simultaneously everywhere today we have heard and all the time we hear that various people are generating different kinds of content very high quality content if content is available why should the faculty come and teach in the class I don't think there is a need for a faculty should come and deliver contents in the class flip teaching is what is required access to computers and internet becoming easier and cheaper teachers need not deliver content in class learning to learn working in groups every to collaborate are now recognized as important graduate attributes select and set teach less and learn more the objective of this project is the group of faculty would prepare the course objective they will write down the course objective at the end of the course what the students should be able to do then they write divide the course into modular structure this course should be taught in this module they will write module objectives they will write unit objectives and for each of those objectives they will prepare test items that these are the problem self assessment problem that if you are able to if you have learned the course try these problems if you have solved the problems by yourself that means you have learned the course if you have not we will come to the class and we will explain the problem so set up original non-trivial problems were 120 such problems are created and posted however teaching and learning for each objective the faculty begins by saying if you go to a NPTEL web site or if you go to a virtual lab site or if you go to this site or some looks like what are the available content we most suitable for learn that by on your own that we are saying we do not teach you learn so for that purpose you are listing a set of content set of references but not such wide references that it will take 20 hours to read one hour so set of most relevant references are given set objectives write down what where they would be able to find that and that should be a variety so that it should each students need would be sure at that some people like maybe pictures some like animation some like content some like various kinds of things they put down and a set of problems to see and the problems are also solutions and finally a two page summary of a one hour lesson it's not an exhaustive thing it's a two page summary only given that it is all of this is done by a group of faculty two or three faculty make a team and it is available on the net so that before the class begins before any before a student takes a course everything is available to appropriate challenging and achievable learning objectives write them down in clear and measurable terms using standard action verb there's a technique for writing this you can't write straight away this blooms taxonomies whole range of things are used prepare study guides learning strategies with detail list of learning resources text graphics website simulation virtual lab make it available on website develop adequate self-assessment material well matched with learning objectives to allow students to monitor the progress and seek time to help provide suitable technology to allow students access learning resources interact effectively peers and mentors whole thing is available on the net so if the objectives are available people from different kinds of places different places can form groups using either a tool built in or any other kind of tool from the group they're encouraged that they go through and learn on their own or as manner of groups if they have a problem they can post a question back to the faculty I got the monitor progress evaluate and provide a timely remedial lessons external expert industry to participate an interesting part of this project is once the course objective model objective and unit of this is a prepared and put on the side anybody can come in from anywhere in the world it begins a biological circle that means you prepare something of course objective somebody let's say control systems somebody TCA control system somewhere else can post a comment this would have been a better objective this would have been a better problem it continues to improve continuously students can do that industry can do that anybody can do that and the whole question of one hour two hour completely lost completely gone because you have this is at the end of the course it is very difficult to explain how to write course objective we find that we have conducted almost 20 workshops so far explaining to faculty how to write course objective is very very difficult indeed a course objective is not a list of topics it's a very different thing altogether and once you've done that students learn in chunks they will see this is a course objective that will be taught in various units so they will go to different sites they will see this I don't like this one is like they make their own repertoire of things and that is put take notes I will show you I will go through very briefly just to give you an idea external experts we talk about industry and still collaboration one of the best way of industry and still collaboration is this two minutes is this that means I go fast you see these all these things have been talked about active learning quick teaching conductive conduct formative evaluation fantastic kind of evaluation can be formed once you prepare this the the the Akash tablet which is used I have done with one of my m tech students not only would you tell them right or wrong you also take an instant and is at the end of a one hour class you can every class with 600 students in the class you can take a five minutes test and give them feedback what they have not understood misconception rather than right or wrong that's possible I've done that with my m tech students I'll leave all that it's a five year final phase of the project 200 courses at BTEC level are being talked developed 17 institutions are participating about 400 to 500 faculty members from IITs and NITs are participating 300 to 400 reviewers involved coordination 25 to 30 faculty 16 pro three year project all courses have been identified the courses started we have conducted almost 15 16 workshop in the last few months web-based tool this has been developed is a fantastic tool is available to anybody completely free of cost and then is looking at me so I that's how it look finally arbitrary cost this is just a view you will see on 2nd of March and I go to IIT 4th we will implement that fully any student can look at a course let's say arbitrary course name is 302 and institute name what they would see under overview if you look at overview took on C course overview student faculty teacher industry anybody is available sees course overview then looks at module overview sorry module overview and similarly course objective module objective unit objective course module summary unit summary references for the course level references but sorry that's what I'm looking doing that to me form groups take notes add comments simulation virtual lab if you look at this one fantastic teacher training also you look at this a faculty has a lecture let's say the chamber 17 next Tuesday I come to the class or I go on my home at on Sunday night I select unit number 17 immediately find overview objective summary reference of resources everything connected to that is available and I put take notes I prepare my own and it's available to me this is possible for students or anybody the site is ready massive amount of work is done but unfortunately the biggest problem is getting it done the faculty team of two to three who have been teaching for at least three to five years are allowed to take this as a team it takes 600 to 800 hours to do that the massive amount of work only because we've said 125 course and module level problems that we generate we get non-trivial and original in nature with solutions that takes a lot of time thank you thank you professor Ray if you let me take a couple of minutes if you don't mind to summarize not what happened now because these are difficult to summarize but I want to summarize some of the activities that are happening at IIT Bombay which are connected with pedagogy against the common wisdom professor Fartek started live transmission from this very building in fact the IT department was cool of IT was started here to do live transmission and then I was the head of this program CD for three years 2006 to 2009 we transmitted about five thousand hours of live transmission live classes as they happened as Mr. FC Coley said we shared the mistakes that we made and pedagogy and all kinds of things so based on this experience we have also started an education technology program interdisciplinary program at IIT Bombay and started with only PhD so as a matter of fact it has grown so much we are not able to we are saying no to the PhD applicants we have 20 students we are looking for faculty members for this education technology program we have faculty members from other disciplines participating part-time we have only one full-time faculty member professor Sahana Muti based on their input the students input PhD students input we are in a position to try out various things I have tried myself for example clickers in my process control course I believe that I conducted a gave a total of about 150 questions in various lectures and the students come to know immediately in fact professor Fartek used the clickers in the 10,000 teacher training program that means people give their questions and those are collected in each remote center and FTP it across in a few minutes you get the total in addition to finding out whether people have understood you can also find out if a center is doing badly why is that center doing badly are they do they have good bandwidth do they have good camera are they opening their premises on time all kinds of things there are many things of course you can also find out which students are doing extremely well which students are doing badly do they need help and so on and Akash was used in this Akash was used in my classroom also of course we used flip classroom I have conducted my class digital control for now I'm conducting it fifth time using flip classroom and every time I'm learning something new so anyway that was a brief summary because I thought that that was the reason to say that pedagogy is the most important thing that we talked about it is not just the tools that we have we have to learn to use them so we are all in the learning stages so as I mentioned earlier in the afternoon session that is the 415 session hopefully we'll get to discuss all of this and come up with recommendations a position paper and recommendations for policy to the government to MHRD and to Planning Commission so with that I want to thank you for your patient listening now I hand over the mic to Professor Farty. Thank you. We are already delayed so we will meet after lunch precisely in this place at 2.30 please have a short lunch.
