 So it is 320, which is the time when I had promised Professor Fadak that he can get the mic so Professor Fadak as you all know is the PI for this teach 10,000 teachers project that is being carried out at IIT Bombay for the past few years under the National Mission on Education through ICT I will transfer the floor to him now Over to you Professor Fadak I hope all the participants have benefited from this discussion I would like to mention a few things about the teaching, learning Ethnology being tempted to be understood by people. In our time there is no education of this kind available to us at all We simply tried to figure out ourselves how students learn We were under the wrong impression that our giving better lecture will mean students will learn better. It took a long time for us to understand Good lectures are important, but are not adequate. You need to do something more I am so happy that my colleagues Prasit Tharnamurthy and Prasit Sridharayee agreed to conduct this workshop Let me admit frankly that I have learned a lot on what teaching I have been made from both of them over the last year and we have started practicing some of the teachings that they have within in our own class. I would like to comment in this context and some of the questions that they asked about the use of videos next year and what if you are boring and so on Do I not use the same textbook as a textbook next year also? Does that textbook become boring? It does not. There is no reason why the video recording should become boring. Please remember these things may become boring to you, but your students are new They have not seen it. I mean Don't worry about people getting bored But I will tell you where they will get bored. They will get bored if your videos are not prepared properly And as Prasit Sridharayee and Prasit Tharnamurthy repeatedly mentioned If those videos are near recording of your conventional that won't work Secondly, I won't agree with the Prasit Tharnamurthy's suggestion that videos should be 15 minutes or at the most 20 minutes There is much greater research into the into the way people observe videos thanks to the new data that is available to massive open online courses People do not observe videos which are longer than 8 minutes If at all you are preparing videos, please ensure that your videos are between 8 to 12 minutes Second, it's chunking and segmentation is not as easy as it's out I think Prasit Sridharayee has already warned you. There is not nearly a Just a time frame cutting. 8 minutes, 8 minutes, 10 minutes But taking a concept, fitting it into some fixed time module and then delivering it is far more challenging than giving a one hour look The fact of life is Since we are all familiar with one hour lecture model in our mind We are never consciously attempted to look at how to Chunk and how to segment a concept. It will take longer I'm amazed that some colleagues mentioned that they are able to make a one-hour video equivalent in four hours Both some of our colleagues who are preparing courses for MOOC have Found out that it takes anywhere between 12 to 15 hours of preparation and multiple recording to breathe An equivalent of one hour So it is hard work, but that hard work is reusable and is usable on large scale in the advanced I Entirely agree with my colleague's observation that not only your videos should be used, but any open source material Particularly all NPTEL material is now open source All the lectures recorded lectures are available in Creative Commons in Sherrill-Ike-Lison One problem is that these resources are not easily edited Actually It's here a life lesson and By attribution like this permits you to take a video the second take Take only five minutes portion add to it your own video two minutes And you can actually make something which is perhaps more meaningful to the students of your own college or your own your home There is a word used by Sanna for constructive alignment Reminded me of a Similar meaning word that's more beautiful It was used by Dr. Chidambaram Explaining this kind of synergy He called it coherence synergy Coherence actually relates to signals which are out of place You get constructive coherence And the signals out of a signal add up are constructed. I would think that Coherence synergy of the three components is probably a more appropriate I would like to mention in this context that massive open online process Actually becoming very popular and the new technology which is emerging is likely to be used more extensively or creating an environment where much larger number of students conglomerates from various colleges participate and a small team of very well-known the future Jointly with thousands of teachers in the local colleges together Ensure that And we started looking at MOOCs last year and initiated a blended model that presented There Subsequently this model has been examined by many people and University grants commission is soon likely to leave an advisory that individual Colleges which are autonomous and universities Should be tempting to take some credits for this If it when that happens Contrary to popular belief that MOOCs mean only few teachers will teach another teachers will become redundant Completely contrary to that popular belief. I am convinced that when the MOOCs technology gets adopted in this blended fashion Local teachers will become far more critical than even what they are today Today most of us in our colleges are spending anywhere between 80 to 85 percent of our time in lecturing Whereas tomorrow when we adopt this methodologies like a flip-class room in pairs here, etc We as teachers will become very critical in deciding what questions do we ask in a classroom? How do we judge whether individual schools are learning or not? How do we give a learned watching sort of a learned Advise to individual students with whom we can now interact much more because we have free time They're not wasting our time This is where I believe the education is going We have as many of you may know we have been adopting the index open source platform That platform is soon likely to be relieved as a national platform by government It will not only be used to offer courses across the country from multiple institutions, but being open source Individual universities and even individual colleges can use that platform to try flip-class to more meaningful So instead of putting your video recorded lectures on some arbitrary server can actually integrate it into a proper platform Even include which includes a learning management system and therefore you can use it comprehensively for your Conclusion, let me say that this entire two typically project initiated by the government Lot of deliberations have taken place in a committee a lot of people have said important things made important contribution Without any doubt my friend and colleague pressure a job in the wall of room IIT Nizad has been writing this in the first semester Cutely program has attempted different experiments directly from IIT Some part of the summer virtual lab Etc. Etc. But the basic idea is simple for some reason IIT system is better known in the world and the system of large number of colleges The whole idea is there is no reason for this to happen After all IITs have not fallen from the sky They comprise of the same people like you and me the students are saying perhaps the infrastructure is bigger But as you have understood no amount of infrastructure and either helps students to learn Or help teachers to teach better That comes from people The whole idea of the cutely program is to transfer this thought and learn also from the approach that prevails into these individuals Because learning is a two-way process Just as you have benefited from this I am sure that Mr. Sanna Murti and Mr. Sridhar Iyer would also have benefited from this In fact last one hour that I was sitting here I was making copious notes and learning a lot myself So that is the process that we need to take forward Please remember one thing We are more fortunate because we teach in Indian colleges Which are relatively more technology savvy than n number of other colleges In the cutely first phase only about 100 colleges have passed Without any doubt these 100 are amongst the top 100 institutions in the country Next phase we wish to take it to 500 colleges Is that sufficient? Not at all There are more than 5000 Indian colleges Is that sufficient? Not at all There are more than 36000 colleges There are smart children who want to learn something useful And we must help them to learn by taking all of these technologies All of these methodologies all the way down And don't forget at the end There are a large number of school students in the country Please remember that there are 313 million students The largest in the world in any country including China Who are waiting for teachers like us to do something different for them That's a honorous responsibility But let us at least understand how to do things well in our own college And once again thank all participants I hope that they will continue to engage themselves in these important things By the way there was a question on how long the model will remain active And that's what they immediately suggested What is the reason to close it down even after 2 months I would like to advise my colleague There is no reason we have enough space And we have enough service accessibility Let the model be on as long as there is some interaction With that I will conclude my talk Thank you very much Over and out And I hope see that I did not stand for too long between the D&D participants Bye Okay So I mean that's just a flavor of the relationship between me and Prof. Zapatak So he has not overstayed beyond 5 minutes And in any case it's now my pleasant duty To actually thank all the people who have made this workshop possible For example all the camera men, all the people, the RC coordinators Who have done their job diligently That's I think a job which we often forget The people who are handling the technology Who are making sure that everything runs without glitches So just give a hand at your own RC for your RC coordinators and the support staff And there has been a whole bunch of TAs who have been working on Looking at your assignments and so on These are the students of the education technology program at IIT Bombay One of them, the chief TA for this course has been Jay Krishnan And he is also doing his PhD on teacher use of education technology So he will actually need to acknowledge all of you in his thesis Because many of you are actually contributing data towards his study So again a big hand for Jay Krishnan So with that we will break for tea And continue our interactions on Moodle and on the Vicky space
