 So, I will restart our interaction now this is to RC 1-1-5-3, Teyspur University. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Actually sir, just I would like to give the report actually, what are the activities we have done since yesterday afternoon and till this afternoon. Actually from our remote center actually we have got this time on the three participants until really that assignment we have done that is the creation of that Moodle code on the lesson teacher of the Moodle, and in the meantime actually we are the teacher for the group 7 as well. We are supposed to coordinate that break up activity, so this morning 10 RC members were there including us. Six of the members could make presentations and there was some discussion as well. Out of the remaining four, who could not be communicated neither through chat or even private chat, and two others actually one of the member was having some difficulty in communicating with us through a video. Okay. For the fourth part actually what happened is that actually they are just preparing to make the presentation and that time that technical difficulty has arisen and so we could not again get them there. Yeah. Of course I think it was somewhat successful actually since almost 50% we could correct to it and it was prepared actually report as well. We would like to share one page. Yeah. Of course one very typical thing has come up actually that I have also faced yesterday and that TV which could make a presentation situation, but actually this Java version what is ABU and actually whatever is there in the machine, so that was putting them back for that I am not sure who that is a generic problem or that is because of the ABU version there. Okay. So what is our current ABU version? Five. Okay. So thank you Thespur University for the feedback. So what I would also request you to all the teacher RCs to send a small report to eOutreach on which all RCs actually presented and what had happened in the ABU sessions it would be useful for us. We do have screenshots etc saved for the groups. So we will know what has happened which all RCs were connected and disconnected that information will be available, but we will not know which RC was able to present. So it would be great if all teacher RCs during today's breakout session send eOutreach a small report as to which all RCs were absent or were unable to make their presentations. It will be also helpful for us to contact them and try to get an alternate date for them to give a presentation apart from the survey. Regarding ABU versions kindly all RCs please note that we are currently using ABU version number five. So please ensure that you have ABU version number five in your system otherwise there are going to be a lot of technical issues like the audio video disconnection and a lot of features may not properly work. There could be a lot of mismatches in your yeah. So please ensure that all RCs have ABU version number five otherwise please go to the NMAICT site where the latest downloads of the ABU etc is available. You would also have been informed via email about ABU guidelines so please make sure that your versions are correct. Thank you Tehspur University for the feedback. We will now move to another RC. This is RC1041, Shreemata Vaishnodevi University, Katra Jammu and Kashmir. Hello. Yeah. Am I audible? Yes you are audible. Please go ahead. Actually in a field and session while interacting or presenting our task that was given to our group was blossoming. Okay. While trying to do that we were unable to share our desktop or any kind of interaction couldn't happen. Okay. Another is that this is an activity which could be taken in small kind of time. Can you repeat what you just said? Actually the small activity has been spent over the whole day. It could be summed up in small time. See it is not just the small activity, it is RCs interacting with others and getting more information and refining their understanding about the blocks. So for example an important thing is external blocks could be embedded to model blocks by using external, what do you say, using the block button also. So something that we have seen is that even if it is a small activity the interaction between different RCs is very useful and very, I mean it is not, I mean you may be knowing lot of things but there are many others who may not be knowing these specific aspects of the model of tools which they would be knowing only if they interact and one more important thing is the purpose of the session is for RCs to interact with each other. Now when the RCs were interacting with each other you could actually look for, okay, we have participants who are in individual domain, is there someone in your RC who are from the same domain and so that we could work together. All these kinds of interactions is also possible. But it could not happen because none of the presenter could present their tasks accurately and some of those unable to share their screens and who are able to share their screens, some presented on the mobile phone itself. So how we can see that on mobile phone when nothing is visible on the mobile phone say what has been done by those RCs. Yes. The interaction was I think less than that. Yeah, yeah, so I completely understand. See all the RCs are getting used to this modality of working together. See one thing that IIT want to exhort through this FDP is that it is not a one-way transmission in terms when you actually use technology. You need to collaborate, you need to explore the various ways in which you can actually work with different technology applications such so that it can benefit you. Now for this there are some teething problems like the interaction time, there were technological issues, there were some disturbances, maybe the presenter view was not given. So we are also see, we are also in the process of learning. IIT Bombay as a central hub is also learning a lot of new things through these interactions. And it is through these interactions that we can evolve and we are working towards empowering all the teachers in utilizing platforms like A-View for conducting or facilitating interactive sessions. Now if tomorrow if you want to let's say some of the cases that one faculty shared yesterday was that she has eight different domains of students are taking the same class. So can they stream the same class using A-View? A-View is a free and open source software. So all they need to do is download the code application and install in their system. So if people know how to utilize A-View effectively that is something that you can explore in your own teaching learning practice in the future. And that is one important thing that is something that is embedded inside the activities that you do. So any new issues that you face itself is a learning experience. So any challenge so for example in your students case also it may so happen that sometimes things may not work fine but through these difficulties through these challenges that is the place where the learning becomes maximum. And that is the message that we want to give across to all RCs through these in lab activity and breakout sessions. Let me go to RC 1453. Hello. Yeah I want to ask you one question regarding the polling feature you mentioned. Okay. So that polling feature is not available right now in our A-View that is because we are not teacher that's the reason or there is some other reason. You need to be a teacher or to actually get the polling functionality. So if I am a teacher then I have a different software or I get a different access from your side from the server side. From the server side you will get a different privilege which enables lot of different buttons that otherwise is not visible for students. Okay. Another thing is regarding this today activity so we were just thinking about the work which we did since yesterday and today. Yes. So yesterday was the task given in our group 11 we were supposed to do the workshop feature and we were able to do it yesterday. Yes. So today morning we also completed our presentation in our group. So it was I mean sufficient there was sufficient time to do and then there was a lot of time remaining also. Okay. So as you mentioned that groups the different RCs can communicate with each other that is the reason that you are keeping this long time. Yes. Normally what we understand is that if there is any complex problem then there is a scope of discussion. But if we can do it ourselves then discussion requires I mean within the group if we can discuss then we may not be able to need discussion with the other RCs. So such activities can we deduce these times from two day to one day and we can do this type of work. Is it possible or are you thinking in this direction? So the question is can we reduce so the question asked by RC1453 is that many of these activities seem to be taking less amount of time. So maybe when there is discussion if there are short activities the discussions happen pretty fast and it stops over there. I mean you have lot of time remaining at the RC. Something that all RCs need to understand is that this is also time that between RCs you can interact and you can show a lot more things. You can discuss how it is applicable in your settings. Something that we are encouraging is that use this time to interact with each other and explore. So if we say that there is only one module that you have to discuss. Actually the idea is that at least ensure that at least one module gets discussed. But if there is sufficient time take that time to learn little more about other modules or other things as well. Unfortunately we cannot force all people to engage in exploratory discussions and that has never been done. So the original T10KT model when it started was that it became information transmission from IIT Bombay and all RCs were passive listeners. And through these FTPs we are trying to make all RCs also active so that they can explore themselves and what we intend is that once a teacher experiences this as a student they will do that as a teacher themselves. Similar practices with your students where students are allowed to do open explorations, students are allowed to do discussions, students so initial rules of discussions are made by us but after that students themselves use that platform to further increase their own knowledge about a particular tool. So today we use model. Tomorrow we may use some other things and try to give you more time for discussion and you explore the whole terrain of educational technology tools and applications. Thank you for addressing my concern. Now I would like to give you one feedback regarding my own experience in learning in FTP-101X and then applying it in my course. Okay. So in FTP-101X we had one RC activity in which we have to create one discussion forum. Yes. So after doing that in my university I teach in MTech program and mobile communication course. So I've created one discussion forum and asked every student to participate in the discussion because we have our own model server. So in that the course is already created and we do use model extensively. Yes. So what I found is that the lab activity was given to them. They have carried out lab activity in lab and then I asked them, I created three groups in my lab and then I also made one group leader and I asked them to first post should be by one group leader and then others will create a thread in that group leader's response. Okay. So this way I try to include whatever I've learned in FTP-101X in practice. Yes. What I found is that it is happening similar, I mean initial reaction is that they are finding that unless I force them they are not going to reply. Yes. So I give them insight that I will consider it as a term of marks and then only it will be considered. So similar I'm facing here also like RC centers are also finding it, it is a compulsion but I mean we are doing it like it's like because there is some sort of incentive. So this is just a feedback I'm sharing my experience. Yeah. Thank you for sharing the feedback and yes, so all active learning strategies we need to have a buy-in from the learners. So if we are doing these ABU sessions like Professor Fatak said, only because the ABU sessions are mandatory we are having all RCs coming on a Saturday, all teachers in RCs coming on Saturday and Sunday and we perfectly understand that. And since it is related so only if you attend ABU sessions will you be given certificate. We also know that it even as teachers you have to be all our participants have to be given sufficient incentive to move from their our own standard format of information transfer to student centered learning. And we are using our current incentives if you actually look at it we are using the certificates and mandatory attendance both stick and carrot have to be given to ensure that participation happens. And this is the case even in a normal classroom. See in normal classroom another problem with discussion forums is that see they have themselves to interact with so they have physical presence. So, many a times it may so happen that they may not need discussion forum to actually work or discuss the problem. But where discussion forum might be more useful as suppose they are doing something in their system and they have to show that to the others. That is where discussion forum becomes it becomes an asynchronous activity. But that is where it has more power where it has more utility where it is tied to a particular activity that they were doing inside the lab at that moment. Now you will have to see it also depends on the context that means what subject it was what time it was do students are students very much involved in discussion kind of activity and traditionally Asians specifically Indians Indian audience they do not participate too much in written communication. They do more it is more of an oral communication and that has been the norm for almost a great amount of time due to which there is also a attitudinal or belief based issue in participating in discussion forums. But if you look to the west or to the other regions they are more tuned into the discussion based interactions and they will be readily participating in the discussion forum. Now they also have additional utilities like WhatsApp Facebook Messenger Facebook. So that also leaves away the idea of discussion forums tied to a learning platform. So if you had conducted the same discussion maybe in Facebook the reaction might have been very different. So again it really depends upon what works in that context. I appreciate the feedback that you have given because yes it is correct. It also has to be a habit. I mean we also have to understand that only when it becomes a habit will people be tuned to do the discussion. Now at least FDP participants know that Saturday Sunday is gone because I have a view interaction. Now from there I am trying to move them towards there is a lab activity on Saturday afternoon and there is a breakout session which I have to do on Sunday morning. That we are trying to inculcate this habit slowly and steadily. So that teachers also get used to these kind of practices and try to work with us. But it is a slow process and we are doing it at a scale which also creates a large problem. Even a smaller issue gets compounded big. Yeah but so is the times. I completely appreciate the feedback. We will definitely try to refine these sessions because we are also learning a lot from these kind of sessions. And I hope you will also be refining your own practice based on whatever you are learning from FDP too as well. Thank you for the feedback. Wish you well in the courses that you are taking in the upcoming semester. Thank you very much. Let me now go to RC1100 MES Pillai Institute. Hello. Hello sir. Yesterday's lab session was very good. We have very few participants but all are very enthusiastic. For our group we got Vicky activity in Moodle. So they have worked but in today's session we couldn't participate. We couldn't present actually. We were a presenter but we give chance to other RCs first. So only two RCs can present their work but our RC couldn't present it. So we will definitely get that chance. It is clear from the IIT Bombay that we will get that chance to present our work. And one more thing I would like to specify here that our participants not only stick to the activity which is given for our group. It is Vicky only but they try to explore lesson activity also in the last lab session. Yeah great. So yeah I appreciate. So I thank all the participants from your centre because they took the initiative to move ahead and explore the other modules. Because this kind of inquisitiveness is what you need to instill in your own students for them to move ahead. And this becomes even more important in the scenario where teachers are complaining of completion of syllabus. See when you give them probing activities where their content creation or their ownership is there many a time. So 90 out of 100 times we have seen that participants go beyond our own expectations and try to explore even further. So people who have doubts regarding I have so much to complete but so much little time. Think of how to use active learning strategies in your own classroom which is known to give you these kind of benefits. But yeah you need to instill this as a habit maybe you need to give lot more of these exercises. Get them used to it so that they can explore and their own. Yes ma'am please continue. Sir one doubt is there in all your activity some domains are specified by IIT. Yes. So do they have to do all the activities in Moodle in that particular domain whatever the OER they are going to create. Yes. So do they have to do the all activities. So OER activities so this is regarding the Confucianist regarding the domains. See domains means the group under it is like a group. So if you are let's say a mathematics teacher your activity will come under the mathematics domain. And you need somebody else from mathematics to better understand and evaluate your Moodle activity. So the domains is only a grouping mechanism through which you could you could get good evaluators from your same domain. That's it from our side sir. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you for the feedback. Do congratulate the participants from your center for exploring. Please ask them to explore all the other modules also. I mean you have almost two weeks before the next interaction. So you could use a lot of these modules to actually work and create better lesson plans. Thank you sir. Thank you. Let me now go to RC 1398 SSPM College of Engineering Sindhudur Maharashtra. You are not audible sir. Can you check your mic? Hello sir. Hello sir. Yeah. Please go. Audible. Yes sir. Today we have given activity of workshop creation. So we have created workshop and we have used different assessment methods in that. Okay. Like rubrics also we have created. Okay. And also we have explored one another thing that is competency level. Okay. Great. Competency level that also we explored though that is also good enough to but my suggestion is we are from Mumbai University. Okay. So for submission of downward we normally you have we have the assignment writings on paper or experiments where to attach the printouts like this. Yes. Okay. So if the Mumbai University suggesting that the levels only you will have to take the submissions or come on submission through this model then that will be better. So everywhere it will become better. Whatever you are saying change is slow. Yes. That will be much faster. I appreciate the suggestion that you have given but you know that Mumbai University is also in a soup because they did many of their assessments online. But it is. Yeah. I am just joking. See. Yeah. As an institute we can always only recommend these kind of changes. But if you have lot of institutes under Mumbai University who say that these kind of learning management system should be made activity in these kind of learning management system should be made mandatory. There should be standards. Then that is when the university will also look up and try to get your suggestions implemented in the policy. See policy wise if you actually look at AICT they are encouraging online MOOCs etc. Even in the standard curriculum for students. So you could they are offering credit transfer from NPTEL. Several universities are signing up memorandum of understanding with NPTEL for credit transfer for their students. So this is actually slowly coming up. And Mumbai University sees that many other universities are taking this up. These kind of I mean policies and practices is sure shot going to be implemented in your own system as well. But see policy is one thing which we do not have control of and it moves at its own pace. There needs to be protocols. That means board meetings should be there syllabus revision or whatever committees need to be formed need to understand the feasibility. And at this juncture if you suggest something like this technology thing especially for evaluation of term work to Mumbai University. I am really doubtful whether they will actually listen to us at this moment. But yeah I will definitely ask Professor Fatak when he goes to a meeting in university at least to try to voice this opinion to the officials over there. So that's all what we can do. One thing. Hello. Yeah. Hello. Because currently it is in syllabus revision is going on for third year now from this academic year 1819 there is a syllabus revision in third year. Okay. So. Yeah. So yeah we will try our level best at least to convince people or at least put in a word from our side. Let's hope that they will listen to it and try to implement it as and when the syllabus revision happens. Somewhere it should be started then. Yes. I completely understand. So as an alternate why don't I suggest you as an institute at least at an institute level can you create a policy where in your internal examinations gets some weightage from Moodle. See what we are doing is we from last 2-3 years in Moodle we have created aptitude test and through Moodle we are conducting the aptitude test for the students. Okay. For improvement of placement thing. Okay. Okay. And another thing regarding feedback also we have used the Moodle. Okay. For student feedback. Okay. Then also we have different MCQs of different subjects that also conducted and notes are also shared through the Moodle. Yes. That we are but regarding the submission of the stomach and everything we are using the traditional way of doing it. It creates a lot of donkey work also. Okay. See at least at a see my suggestion to all institutes who want to implement this get this implemented at university level at least at a local institute level try to implement these and also find effectiveness measures. See just by implementing this alone your work is reduced that is not a consideration for university to implement this in a blanket format. What you should show is that by implementing these kind of mechanism there is effectiveness there is efficiency both in the system as well as in the learning you will have to show this if you do not have enough evidence to support this. So this is based what we call evidence based advocacy. So any policy when it is formed you will have to do small pilots collect appropriate data and identify the analysis methods through which it could be better analyzed and inform the policy making body. Okay. So why don't you try doing this look at the number of users what their feedback is regarding online examination how much time has been saved. So for example if you do assessments on Moodle how much time gets saved for a faculty compared to how much time it will actually take to correct this manually and give marks, tabulate it all the associated processes. So this could be a different these measures could be an important policy important for the policy creators also. Okay. Sir when we initially started this we faced a lot of problems from faculty also they are not ready to accept it because who will do that. We have made problems in the internet issues everything but somehow we have forcefully implemented now the people are getting habigated to that and they are now feeling easy to do this. But regarding your assessment now if you say MCQ if I put a hundred questions in MCQ if I manually I have to assess it takes so much time to assess it. But if I conduct it through the Moodle it definitely saves a lot of time. Yeah but you need you should be telling the your institute authorities this rather than me I am convinced by your I am convinced that Moodle should be used but it is the institute as a whole see when they are putting this up it is for they will have to look for all the all the colleges they will have to look for all the different colleges where these kind of issues are there and are all faculty trained in Moodle that also we are not sure. So these kind of considerations also have to be made see that is one problem at a top level when you make these kind of decisions you will have to also look at several different factors other than just basic things so how much time it does it take to train these people in Moodle all these have to be considered by the university they will have to say that by so and so year we are planning to implement Moodle make sure that all your faculty get trained in Moodle using Moodle by that time. So these kind of things have to be done by the university as a whole. So yeah so we will try to convince or put in our own words regarding use of Moodle. Let us see how they are going to take it up. Okay sir thank you. Let me now go to RC1456. Yes, Karpagam Institute of Technology Coimbatore. Good evening sir. Good evening. Sir first of all I would like to thank you for the morning breakout session. We had the interaction with the RC1353 and we have presented our work to the mentor who is allocated to us. Okay. And we have one more query sir that is we have presented our Moodle to the mentor. We could not get any feedback from them. Oh. One more thing sir after this two day interaction session if you have any query on the further week courses the topics what you uploaded know. Yeah. On Thursday coming Thursday or in the next week before to the next interview interaction session. Yes. If you have any query to whom we have to write the mail. Query regarding what? Regarding the course content or any doubts on the videos so you have uploaded okay doubts see one thing is any course related matter we encourage you to use the IIT Bombay X discussion forum. Sometimes in discussion forum we couldn't find proper answers sir. Okay. So if your answer. Yeah. So what we are also going to do is I will ask my course team to repeat. So there is a separate IIT Bombay discussion forum called Queries. So click on all topics and you will find separate topic called Queries. Yeah. Okay. So you post your question in the Queries. I will ensure that the course TAs will be there to handle these questions and you will be able to get a better feedback. Sure sir. So one more last question sir. Yeah. Regarding the FDP 101 will our participants those who have completed and cleared the eligible percentage. Yeah. When shall we when shall they get these certificates? Okay. So for all RC's information I had told this yesterday also but again repeating the FDP 101 X certificates have been given for printing right now. So we are expecting all the certificates to be ready by this weekend. So in almost a week's time we will start dispatching our the certificates from Bombay. So you should be getting by mid-May by around 20th May it should 20th May to 27th May you should be getting the certificates at your own remote center. Okay. Thank you sir. Yeah. So let me now move to the next RC. This is GRRC 1080 GR IIT Kukatpalli Hyderabad. Hello. Hello. Good afternoon to the ICT module Bombay. This is Dr. B. Srinivas Rao giving the report about our two-day view program that was conducted at GRAT remote center. These are the points that I would like to bring you. Yeah. First point is that the total strength of this our RC center participant is 180. And these 180 participants have been divided into 33 groups. Each group contains eight faculty or participants. Now as a part of yesterday's programs it is out of class component content preparation. For that we have the glossary component. The glossary component we have about the glossary and preparation about the preparation of PPDC about the glossary and also video creation and finally preparation of the quizzes. These are the four sub-components of the component of the glossary. And these four components are given to eight groups of these 33 groups. And all these groups interestingly participated discuss among themselves and finally come out with their content. And this content was further discussed and finally this was uploaded to the ICT module to share with the other RCs and also the ICT module. And also the same is given to our participants also so that they can go through the complete material about the discussion what they did during this session. And after that in today's program what happened that whatever the content that we have prepared yesterday about that program our team leaders have summarized about all the points how it was discussed. And also they have shared the content with the other RC centers to have the feedback and also at the same time we shared the same content with the ICT Bombay module. And we got some good feedback from the other RC centers and we have decided to incorporate the feedback for the present content to improve the content so that it will be useful for the future. And one more point that very interesting point what I want to say that we have very much inspired with the IACTB module and in the same in the same way the GRIT has also established the GRIT ICT module and almost last year we have made many experiments to make it a perfect establishment and now from the current centers that is coming from July onwards we are asking our faculty members to instruct us through the IACT GRIT module and all the content was ready and just only to launch the course through IACT GRIT module which is just the IACTB Bombay and that we are very happy to inform with that. This is with your inspiration but we have started. Finally in overall the entire feedback that we got is very good and overall the total attendance and discussion everything is done systematically and finally we have prepared the report content for the modules and other RC centers and we said that the program is very successful for these two days and we have enjoyed very much and we would like to thank to the IACT Bombay and also GRIT RC Center for arranging very good arrangements for us. Thank you very much sir. First of all congratulations to all the participants in your RC. See you told me there were around 180 participants so the course coordinator and the remote center coordinator great kudos to both of them for managing the activities over the two days and ensuring that they are all engaged for this much amount of time. It is also inspirational to hear from you that you have been motivated by us and you have installed Moodle in your in your college but I would also want you to just go ahead slightly further in telling you that the same engagement and the same enthusiasm that you have shown while you are participating in this FDP you should ensure that your students will also get similar creation opportunities in their own classes and do not be restricted by curriculum timings etc because you know that the moment you are given an ownership like what you have seen if your students are interested with ownership with small micro activities to start with they can move over and be great learners as well as great teachers themselves or great facilitators themselves. So I would want you to completely take all the practices from us see our resources are in open source in creative commons. So this is also another philosophy that we are trying to exhort to all remote centers you are all building you can build from each other if your resources are kept in open and this refinement has to finally come back to the commons so that somebody else can take it up and build on top of it. So please ensure that your philosophy your practices also capture these elements of IIT Bombay's philosophy so that your learners at the end who needs to be benefited will get actual benefit from the resources the practices that you do with technology in your college. Thank you sir for the feedback I hope all other RC's are also listening to the feedback provided by the RC GRIAT Cook at Pully. I know many of you are doing many of these practices also take this breakout session to inform other RC's about these best practices because that is also something that should be knowing and what has happened how you convince your management how you convince your learner these are important lessons that other RC's can also take up and try in their own practice Thank you RC1080 I will now move on to the next remote center RC 1367 Sen Vincent College Nagpur Yes please go ahead you may want to adjust your mic, the video so that you are visible the camera so that you are visible Hello Good evening sir Good evening In today morning session we could not able to present but you are now giving me the new dates that's okay. One query I would like to ask you that last time some of the participants missed the AOA interaction session so they got mail from FTP ICT to submit the summary report so after submitting the summary report one of the participant after submitting the report she got disqualified so I interacted with the helpline numbers but every time I had the helpline number I interacted with the new person so it was very difficult to resolve that issue so at the last moment that issue was resolved actually. Okay. So the participant was suffered at that time so please give some specific helpline so that we can solve our queries So basically your request has been so we will ensure that at least this time around there is a consistent person to help you out see generally all the workshop team are available in our number 02225764989 this is the number mobile sorry the telephone number with which you can contact so if there is a very specific person one request that we are asking you is kindly when somebody you are calling someone please take the name of the person who is handling your issue okay so this will also help the workshop team also in identifying the corresponding person and continue your interaction with the same person itself so always whenever you give a call to this since this is a common number please also get the name of the person from IIT Bombay with whom you are interacting so yeah so but your query your query has been considered I will tell the workshop team to ensure that they tell their name to you first so that they will get to know with whom they are interacting okay thanks a lot let me now go to RC 1459 university VOC college Tutukudi Tamil Nadu hello yeah please go ahead today morning we were not able to present since we had a problem in our audio okay we submitted the form different dates okay sure sure so we will consolidate all these dates and tomorrow one exercise that the workshop team will be looking at is finding a suitable date for all the different RCs so that they can get at least one breakout session with another RC at least two other RCs so that you could get a feedback 14th is tomorrow now yes so if the session is tomorrow so I have to check my mail by tomorrow morning itself no no no so the session will not be tomorrow I mean we will at our end we will consolidate all these requests tomorrow we need a date to actually process all the alternate dates that you have provided and we will we will also have to schedule the A view groups also accordingly so that somebody is available as a teacher the others will be there as student and these interactions can happen okay sir so but you will be informed you will be informed of the appropriate dates tomorrow okay sir okay so thank you yeah let me now go to RC 1406 Shree HVP Mandal college RC 1406 your video is not being shown sir hello yes sir we have get the time for interaction but during the interaction the time is over and we are not able to interact okay hello sir we are not able to interact even though we have we have participated for the interaction sure but due to short of time or the time limit we are not able to interact due to some sound mic problem or audio problem while checking that audio problem there is left out the session and we are not able to interact okay and which group were you in our group is group number 9 okay sir we have created the workshop activity on stress management and we have we have created the two or three types of like quiz we have added as well as the feedback also we have given these are the various types of content that we have added over there one more question one question that I would like to ask you sir sir as you said that we have to for the completion of OER activity we have to form the groups as per as number of participant and the domains of respective participant in our RC there are 13 different domains okay and that means shall we have to create that 13 different type of courses and those courses and related matter we have to uploaded into the RC web page RC web page is it okay sir no so this is the way that we have to execute that OER activity so the OER activity is a group activity it does not have a connection with the RC see the RC activity the RC activity is limited to the ABU sessions that you are doing the OER activity is something which the participant themselves have to form a group sorry the participant themselves have to form a group and create a course in one of their so somebody will become a team leader and that person will have to create a model course the others will have to be core teachers in that course and you should have some test student ideas that you give for that course so it is not at all related to RC model but one thing is that you can ask these participants to create in the RC model itself if you want all the groups to be in a single location yes sir this is what I supposed to I have to pair the number of groups as far as the domain and convey those things to your E outreach yes to E outreach and where how to in order to complete that activity they have to complete that activity where they have to suppose to complete that activity so they will be doing this activity once they have created the course once they have completely uploaded all the resources they will also have to write a report and this has to be uploaded in your IIT Bombay X course so there will be a separate submission in IIT Bombay X course where only the team leaders will be able to submit and there will be a peer review of that particular activity okay sir can I tell the same activity to complete that activity and include that activity in my RC yeah that is fine so if you want to include that in your RC model website that is fine that is not at all an issue but what is important is that the course has to be separately created by each of the group okay for each domain for each domain they have to create the course so further instructions on the OER activity will be given on 24th the week starting on 24th because that is where the OER activity is meant to start so you will also have your mentors also ready by that time and by 27th your participants can interact with their mentors and get more understanding about the OER activity can I tell you can I ask you one more question sir how should I know that who is the mentor of each group being coordinator so the coordinators will also be kept in loop as so eoutreach will be sending out an email to the course coordinator telling who are the mentors and from your for the participants from your RC and one more question sir as we have created the Moodle course and the same type of course Moodle Moodle we want to implement in our college what are the characteristics for that as we have created this Moodle on the free website that is provided by the you need to have a server which can host the Moodle application and you need to have a Moodle administrator who knows in and out of Moodle how to organize Moodle for an institution any specific software that I need Moodle is a software you need to get services from companies who are offering Moodle packages to institutions or if you have IT team in your college see many of many of the RCs in your group have installed Moodle in their own colleges so just two interactions back we had heard of GRIT who are installing who have installed Moodle in their own college so I would specifically request you to interact with these RCs and get the information because they will be able to tell you the very specific details based on institution what all things they did what all are the best practices etc because at our end we have trained you in creating courses in Moodle Moodle installation requires a lot more broad details it requires it is a workshop on its own so the current time will not suffice for explaining you what is required so what I would request you is you have seen RCID of GRIT I would encourage you to contact them and get the necessary details that is also one thing that you should be using the breakout sessions for okay sir yeah let me now go to RC14 27 PA College of Engineering Coimbatore good evening sir good evening sir can you hear me yes I am able to hear you sir thank you for this session and we have a suggestion here within our group we were discussing and we are giving the presentation on workshop module and if there is a mix of activity within the groups I think it will be better so that there will be knowledge transfer for the other activities like glossary database and wikis also yeah so the question posted by RC is that if the interaction could have been different that would have helped see that is exactly what you are going to do next week now we will be posting all the Moodle courses created by other RC's in the IIT Bombay X page during in the upcoming week when the activity is released for the next week so I would encourage all participants to go through all those activities these activities have been created with the mindset that you are all teachers and you would like to know what other activities are so you should take this opportunity to first learn from what others have done and also give them feedback as to how that particular course could be improved and I completely appreciate the feedback that you have given right now so you should give similar feedback to your other RC's as to how they could improve the Moodle course so that it is more meaningful and you learn a lot more things and while your participants are actually looking through the courses I would also recommend that you yourselves look at multiple resources so one set of people look at the resources provided by let's say one RC on Glossary one another RC on on wikis etc so that among yourself also you will see the variation of work done by different RC's okay sir that is another question by our colleague yeah good evening JK can you hear me yes I can hear you please go ahead okay only two suggestions yeah the first one is your course is okay we are all attending we have we can gain multiple knowledge it's all okay but the suggestion number one is the certificate provided by you will it be helpful for us in our career in what way it will be helpful to us the appraisal will be there or after getting your certificate will there be any promotion or can you suggest some of the policies RC's it will be more helpful to us and even for the course yeah what is your second suggestion second one is you said the discussion forum is on both the Saturdays and Sundays my suggestion is why can't we have the discussion forum for half a day on Sunday because already you have IITBX suggestion queries forum right sir yeah so still we have any queries or doubts better we will post it there instead of having it for the entire day that is my next second position okay okay let me address the concern regarding certificate so the certificate that we are issuing I think all RC's many other participants they are submitting these certificates as a valid certificate for faculty development which is mandated as per the career advancement scheme so this is a two week equivalent each course is a two week equivalent certificate so you will you can show total of four weeks of faculty development activity and one important thing when you are attending a four week or a two week course this one particular day you are getting through these discussions you are getting one day of activity that is the equivalency the course across a week is equivalent only to eight hours or sorry five to six hours of teaching learning material it is not worth more than that so if you want to complete the so with four weeks you can only online more you will be able to complete only four into six twenty four hours which is actually how much four days four days worth interaction or four days worth face to face interaction program the OER activity which actually transcends across two weeks will be considered for extra effort because that requires discussion and that is counter towards some more days and it is the four days so four days of interaction that you have in this FDP that is counter towards the total two week equivalent so in a two week equivalent program you will have ten days of face to face you are supposed to have ten days of face to face interaction and classes now this four days will be used for that what do you say counter towards that two week equivalent certificate so unless and until we can we do not schedule these interactions you will not be eligible for a two week equivalent certificate so in terms of certificate that is the problem number one regarding discussion second problem suppose you do the same to your own students saying that okay you discuss I will you can use the let us say you create a course in Moodle and you tell to your students that you can use the Moodle discussion forum to clarify your doubts so you do not need to come to class will they be coming to class at any point of time no no so yeah so that is what we are saying the blended program is meant for because this face to face interaction is important you speaking to another person has a lot of value the human element has a lot of value whatever technology we bring in maybe we incorporate latest artificial intelligence into IIT Bombay X platform nothing can replace the human element of it because you learn a lot from your colleagues your peers so that is why we are keeping these that is the most important reason that we are keeping these interactions on Saturdays and Sundays where we know that there won't be regular academic activities for many of the participants in the program and regarding diverse resources for discussion I think we are keeping that diverse resources activity for next a view interaction so you will see all these diverse resources in the coming days and one more thing is as I said earlier not all participants are very active in IIT Bombay X discussion across the FDPS we have always seen that the percentage of active participants is somewhere between 40 to 60 percentage of the total enrolled so somebody else looking at and giving you feedback again it will take some more time for them to get used to the platform get used to the habit of participating in discussion one more feedback for you please go ahead yes sir the sessions are very useful and of course it is giving me an opportunity to know getting more knowledge regarding connecting new courses and new ideas so I was interested with the students thank you very much for coming having kind of sessions my grateful to you sir thank you very much yeah thank you so yeah so this is one more benefit see somebody one of your colleague herself is saying that they get benefited through the discussion so I hope that answers the main query that you had for RC who is active this is Goa College of Engineering thank you for staying so late it is 523 and thank you for patiently listening to the various queries and answers please go ahead good evening sir we have six participants in RC and yesterday we really enjoyed doing the lab activity where each of our participants put in their efforts and we designed our model course we had a lot of things such as presentations screencast video a quiz all designed by the participant itself and put up we also linked it to our WordPress site and we were also identified as presenters in fact for group 3 however due to the weather conditions we had a power shutdown in the morning in south Goa because of which we did not log in so we missed the breakout session so maybe the alternate days that we have given our choice in the feedback for the alternate sessions if we would be given an opportunity we would be happy we will work towards finding a single day where all of you could be accommodated so in that case you may not have to spend maybe not more than 2-2.5 hours then you could complete the interaction in less than 3 hours and also get sufficient feedback from your colleagues on how these activities are and how the different resources are what we will also do is we will put this up in IIT Bombay X so that along with user credentials test user credentials so that other participants can also access your model course and give you feedback so please ensure that you have a feedback module created in your module ideally give a link to a google form so that each participants see there is only one test student id so each participant will be using that test student id so give a google form so that you could get feedback from individual participants who are logging into the course we will work on that yeah okay thank you very much yeah so thank you go engineering college so I believe that we come to the end of today's session luckily we are still in time so we are completing it beyond before 530 to all the remote centers who are unable to present sorry for the we apologize for the technological inconveniences that you faced but we will also ensure that we will accommodate you in the coming week and we will try to give you a presentation slot exceptional cases do not worry we will we will handle the exceptions because this is one important activity that you should be doing as part of the fdp the interactions between rc's and information sharing and the best practices more detailed guidelines on how to do breakout how to do local activity etc we will inform you in the coming weekly release where we will put up some best practices some more instructions to make this more lively in the meantime please submit the feedback about today's breakout activity the course coordinators from each rc's are requested to submit the feedback so that we can collect it and consolidate it to give you an alternate presentation date in the upcoming week you will have videos and activities regarding active learning you are doing a lot of active learning at the center itself but we will give you formal strategies through which you can do the active learning strategies in your classroom the final week will be more on open educational resources and evaluation in your evaluation of your activities please go through the resources do the open educational resources activity where you will create a model course putting up all the resources over there additionally please ensure that you form a team at your at least in your rc based on the different domains that are available and give your course coordinator the consolidated list so that these could be updated at our end the open educational resource activity is a mandatory activity and it needs to be completed if you are unable to find people from your own domain we will be putting up discussion forums on May 15 where you can actually interact with others even during the OER creation about various activities and find people who are from your own domain so that is all from IT Bombay today thank you for being part of the ABU sessions yesterday and today we hope to see all of you for the next interaction which is on 26th and 27th we will try to ensure that it is not affected by any technological glitches please ensure that you do at system testing one day before the interaction and ensure that the audio video functionalities are all proper thank you all and that is all over and out from IT Bombay thank you
