 So, we have very little time, but I will just quickly give you an overview of how this course is going to be conducted and what roles you might be playing will be given in detail in a later lecture in this evening, but this is an overall picture of the course and you are of course free to talk to us or any of our project managers during this breaks. Okay, so this course will be conducted in a blended model, okay. So, I am going to tell you what a blended model is and this is for the first time that we are doing this, although we have done parts of this before, but first time we are trying this in this mission. So, the blended model essentially is a blend of an online and offline or a face-to-face part. Now, what we are doing now is a face-to-face part which will be done by you with your teachers who come to your centers. So, the online part again has two components, one is what is known as MOOCs, I will explain that in a short while and the MOOCs platform that we will be using is called as IIT Bombay X and the second portion in online is called the Moodle which is also an online platform for taking courses and the face-to-face things will have again two important participants where you who are the local center coordinators will be interacting face-to-face with people who come to your local centers and all of you that is you and the students of the teachers who come to your center will be connected remotely to a audio video link with faculty from IIT Bombay. So, this will be the face-to-face part and this will be the online part. So, essentially what people will be doing is some kind of a flip classroom where this participants who come for the workshop in December will first get exposed to the content that is available online they will carry out some exercises there and they already come prepared in a certain level. They come prepared in a certain level they have to go through assignments and all I will go through that detail and then they attend what is a classroom or a face-to-face interaction. So, this combined thing of an online and offline online preceding offline is called the flip classroom and this course will be done in this blended model. So, I will go into the details of it in case some of you are not aware MOOCs stands for massively open online course. So, massive because it will have shown that it can handle up to 2 lakh participants per course not the total number of participants per course 2 lakh participants and it is open in the sense that anybody can join usually there is no charge for joining and the format in this MOOCs is like this that there are very short videos usually 5 to 10 minutes maximum 15 but none of them are 15 but usually around 10 minutes and they are followed by very short self-assessments. So, in the online platform people when they view a particular lecture soon after that they are given a very short quiz just based on what they have learned very simple recollection of facts and understanding what has been not detailed assignments and then there is a discussion forum where they can post questions that instructors may answer or somebody else may answer usually the participation for this MOOCs is free anybody can join you can register there are several MOOCs platform to join but only if you want to get a certificate that you have completed the course that you need to pay and you can get register courses throughout the world. In fact, a typical cost in the US would be something like 25 dollars per course or something like that. So, that is MOOCs one portion the second thing is called as the Moodle some of you might be already using Moodle in your colleges. So, Moodle is also like a predecessor to this MOOCs and it had all the components that is currently available in MOOCs but only thing was Moodle was not scalable it can take only few thousands at a time at a time it cannot go to the large number. So, the whole concept behind this was rewritten and they rediscovered or reinvented something which is which can go massive. So, the purpose of both are the same except that one can handle a large number of participants at the same time. So, in this we will be using Moodle for offline assessment and peer evaluation that you submit something and it is evaluated by your own peers you evaluate others which is currently not possible in the MOOCs platform. So, which is why we have to use both these together. So, in IIT Bombay X which is the MOOCs platform which we are going to use the self assessments are like this. So, after every shot there will be a self assessment. So, some things will be very quick like fill in the blanks multiple choice and so on which will to recollect what you have immediately what you have heard you just need to fill up. So, it just reinforces what you have and listen to it is not like very detail solve a problem or something like very quick recollection of facts or some message will be given and you need to interpret that message. So, examples would be true false statements or multiple choice or fill in the blanks and so on or match the columns and so on. This one happens every week ok. Every week you have this every week a set of lectures are uploaded set of about 5 to 10 lectures are each of 10 minute duration and after every 10 minute duration they have to answer the quiz and then that is done or they might be a detailed submission. So, this 10 video lectures and the quiz submission this quiz submission will be the following week ok. So, you have one week to listen and one week to submit and the second form of assessment the online assessment will be peer evaluation. So, peer evaluation essentially means peer means we are all peers the participants in this course are peers of the other participants in this course. The actual participants in this course are those teachers who will be coming to your. So, let us say there are about 5000 teachers. So, these 5000 teachers will be enrolled to this IIT Bombay X as well as Moodle and they will participate in this peer evaluation. So, this could be subjective evaluations like you ask them to write a report or you ask them to write a summary ok and then how do we evaluate how do you evaluate 10000 5000 papers we cannot do that practically. So, what we do is we give them set of guidelines how to evaluate. So, what you should look for in a good writing what you should look for in a good presentation. So, all this is given as a set of criteria and against each criteria participate evaluate other participants. So, usually the way how do you grade them the grade is given was 80 percent of a total mark for a particular assignment is given for how much marks you got by 5 others who evaluated you and then 20 percent is given for how good you evaluated others suppose you have an assignment and how good you are to the how close you are to the average mark that person got. Suppose you it is all done anonymously. So, you do not know whom you are evaluating. So, suppose you consistently give very bad grade to somebody you will get less than 20 percent. Suppose you give consistently super grades for a person then also you will stand to lose. So, this way you are bound to give a as good or correct evaluation we do not know what correct is, but in general that average out to be the same how good you are close to the average marks is the way you are evaluated for your evaluation. So, this was the online part and then the offline part what we have is we have these remote centers for us it is remote for the teachers who join for them it is local. So, people in Gujarat will probably go to some center there from people from south will go somewhere there and so on. So, all these centers remote centers for us or local centers for you will have teachers registering there and coming to attend the workshop in December. So, that will be the face to face part. Now, the online part will be spread over 5 weeks. So, 5 weeks of online content and then 5 days of December face to face workshop. So, first they will go through this online content and then come for this remote so, local centers there. So, all this is done after they have listened to their online part and they are all these centers are all connected by a audio video link. So, that we can see all the centers and suppose we switch on one particular center that particular centers somebody is making a presentation in one article we will just beam that to all the centers everybody can see. If somebody asks a question and then we respond to them all that everybody else will listen. So, it is like a very large classroom happening face to face. So, for online this participation and now you come to the center remote center. Yes, they have to come. So, I will go through the I know there will be lot of questions and let me just quickly do this we have lot of time to discuss again tomorrow morning we will discuss this one. So, the interaction that happens here is with course coordinators which is you you are the course coordinators in the local centers. So, these people will come there and take this and we will also be connected remotely. So, this face to face is basically some tutorial activities which will tell you and this coordinators workshop is like a mash of both online as well as the face to face. So, now you will get a feeling in this five days what will happen in the five weeks as well as what will happen in the five days of workshop. So, this is going to be very intense. So, it is good from morning 9 o'clock till 5.45 in the evening it is going to be a continuous this of course we have breaks we will try to keep it as entertaining as possible, but it is going to be very heavy because we are going to cover a lot of them we will not cover everything definitely not possible just give you a feel of what are things that are going to come. And then that will help you coordinate your individual centers. So, how this course can be used later. So, this course can be used by colleges who have this technical communication in their curriculum most have, but the syllabus might be slightly different. So, what it can be done what can be done later is the students the actual undergraduate or post graduate students enroll themselves for free in IIT Bombay X and they will learn the subjects online. And then complete the self-assignments and then the college instructors who are this instructors who come for this course like those teachers those 5000 teachers will be conducting these classes. And these people students who have finished those lectures online will come to their classroom say one week they will listen of one week of lecture online they will have a classroom activity face to face. So, just as those teachers had face to face with us the students will have face to face with them, but the students would have gone through the same online initiation first and then they will come to the classroom. So, then essentially they will be using IIT Bombay X for a flip classroom. So, this is the broad idea of this whole course that it can sustain over a large time. So, now to give you a feel of what the kind of online quizzes that would be for example, it could be very short question like this. So, you can try this now for yourself. Choose the correct statements from below. Now I have given you a 10 minute presentation. This will be presentation that would be seen by a typical course a typical lecture in the actual course. So, following that we will have examinations like this. So, choose the statements from below. Moodle is a MOOC platform true or false? False. Online self-assessment are conducted through IIT Bombay X. True. Participants of a course evaluate other participants by peer assessments. True. Moodle is a brand of blended noodles. True. False. It is false. It is not noodles. Without lead content. Okay. During face to face workshop participants have to come to IIT Bombay. No. False. So, they come to the local centers. So, something like this. So, quickly now I have presented a very short thing in a very short of information in a very short time. But how much you are able to assimilate. So, if you have a if you have not listened to something you just go rewind the video and play it again. So, this is what the teachers will be doing. This is what the students will be doing later. Okay. Fill in the blanks. Video lectures in IIT Bombay are of minute. Home assignments are to be submitted in the dash platform. Face to face workshop are also called as IIT Bombay is dash based on dash platform. Okay. This was not covered here but it was very fast. IIT Bombay is a MOOCs based on open edX platform. Okay. So, open edX which people have modified it a little for our periodic activity in IIT Bombay is of dash duration. One week. Okay. So, things like this. Okay. So, this will be the kind of quick assessments that follows a video lecture followed by detail assessments which will be peer evaluated. Okay. So, detail assessments will be like this. So, detail assessments will have something. Right. Some assignment and this summarize it and then there will be how to evaluate. So, how good was the quality of work? It was extensively covered. Only one or two MOOCs were presented. So, the question is find out what are the other MOOCs platforms and they write a small essay. Now, that essay has to be evaluated by others. So, they look at how many MOOCs platform record very good. This is average. This is poor. This is again very good average poor. So, you just need to see how to evaluate. So, this way you have a quick evaluation but you can scale up the evaluation to several thousands easily. Okay. So, I will stop here. We will have a short break. We have little over short time but we should come back here by 10.45. Thank you.
