 This is center 1308 sir our question is if the message will go to the university level like the what time they have given as a 40 hour paper if that will extend it to 60 hour then it is better sir. But if we will send the message from our side they are not responding. So as a whole the message will go then it is better sir. Yes so these are issues which are actually outside the scope of this current workshop and anyway for just for the information some of us are working on these issues at the AICT level and all. So hopefully in a few years or in a few months there may be some change. RC 1063 Dr. D. Y. Patil sir my question is related to if we are having some wiki or some interactive technique for same topic for one single topic we are using two different interactive techniques and analysis of these two interactive techniques can it make a research paper? So at the broad level the answer may be yes but at the detail level you need to look at whether there is novelty in doing such an analysis. So a research paper will essentially require to determine new knowledge which others do not already know. So for example if the analysis is about whether peer instruction students will learn with peer instruction learn better than students who simply learn with classroom then that will not be a research paper because there are already lots of papers on this for various topics. So while at the broad level such questions would make for a good research study you need to look at what is the related work what work has already been published and see whether you have a new angle on such a topic. One more question I had that was activity for various subjects can we do analysis like wiki we did some video clip on wiki we presented and can this same technique be used for various subjects can analysis of this make a research paper? I think the answer is still the same once again you need to see whether such analysis is contributing to the research community see a lot of things it might be some new work that we have done so any new work that we have done does not automatically qualify as research. So if there is a good reason to carry out such an analysis and if that analysis is bringing out some new insights which have not already been known and you will be able to make this out only when you see what has already been published on that topic. So once you look at what is the literature that is already there then you will be able to answer this question better for yourself and some of the templates that we have like for example the study planning template which you will be exposed to if you sign up for the what was that mission 2015 project then they will guide you to finding answers to these questions. RC1008. How to create group in a wiki that is our question sir. Okay so again for the information of all the centres who have joined late this question was answered previously but I will repeat the answer for creating groups in wiki what you have to do is you have to be a creator of a wiki. So create a new wiki add users and there is some a feature known as projects on to the right hand side in the wiki that you create. So there will be a project window you click the project and create the groups in that. So a detailed instruction and documents and specific activities for this will be given to you in the coming week because this is the post workshop activity for this pedagogy workshop. So you have to do that particular lesson and create your own wiki. RC1257. Sir I want to ask three trivial questions pertaining to the workshop. My first question is you have posted some of the links in terms of repository for the visualization purpose but when we tried to run these simulations message was appeared your security settings are preventing untrusted applications to run furthermore we tried to configure the Java configuration panel and adjusted the security to high till the problem was there. Okay a quick answer to that is this is your problem with the system at your end. One quick Google query on this particular issue will give you sufficient threads as to what exactly you have to do because it all depends on the operating system the machine that you are using so it all depends on that. So I would recommend that you post what exacts with the screenshots and other things to Google and look at several forums which look at Java based issues or query for flash issues Adobe issues in Google or if you have a system administrator in your college please ask him to look at the system and rectify it because system administrators will be the correct people to who will be able to solve this issue. RC1208 regional center of Anna University. Thanks for organizing wonderful workshop the workshop is really very much useful for us we learn many technology tools and repository websites my question is related to wiki suppose form your group using wiki for a particular course if possible to send a group message through wiki to the students or if any possible this feature in Moodle also okay the query is about sending group messages through wiki or Moodle so it is possible to send messages to all wiki participants or specifically to project participants the moment you create those projects. So for example if you are in wiki for trial there is an option send message and it asks to whom so in the list to all participants or to specific participants it is provided the option is provided in that similarly in Moodle also you can broadcast a message to groups so you can create a forum which is accessible only for the group and post a message over there so this is how you do broadcasting to groups in Moodle. The same applies for wiki spaces also discussion forums in a group page post the message and broadcast it RC1313 sir does the TPS activity work on interdisciplinary environment if as to what extent sir okay quick answer to it did the TPS activity that we posted work in your remote center so all the TPS activities that we had so we were catering to different domains of teachers and there was this common goal so the TPS activity will work for all environments provided your thing phase pair phase and share phase questions have clear cut guidelines are connected to the subject in question and you have some deliverables that come out in each of these phases whether it is an individual discipline or a multi-discipline environment 1042 St. Gates College is it possible to implement the same concept using wiki yes it is so the question that St. Gates College posted is is it possible to implement wikis inside Moodle so the answer is yes Moodle has a wiki functionality embedded in it we haven't used that functionality in this workshop because we wanted the resources to be available to all the outside world also the content repositories had to be open that is why we haven't used the wiki functionality in Moodle but if you want to use wiki functionality in Moodle there is a specific plugin called wikis you can create a wiki activity in Moodle and do the same as what we did 1071 Amritavishwadhyapetam is a great workshop that I attended one of the few great workshops I have a question actually the idea is idea sounds good but across India do we have the resources to implement in real world situations number one number two let us say you have a three credit course and you have roughly about 45 classes and you know a student registers for more than five courses in a semester and think about sending concept understanding level but understanding level lectures through video you post it and you conduct flipped class in the classroom through problem solving at a higher cognitive levels will the student not complain saying that the concepts have not been even after teaching the concepts in the class the students feedback is always that the teachers don't teach the concepts properly so having said this how are we going to balance this approach okay so let me take the second question first so one of the things that you have to make it clear to the students is that the total amount of time that they are spending on studies is not increasing typically what you would do is in the classroom you would give them the information at the understanding level and then they would have the worksheet or the practice problems which they have to solve on their own later on all that you are doing is you are flipping that so students you will find once you start implementing this you will find that they appreciate this idea because the time when they need the help is when they are actually trying to apply the concepts and at that time the instructor and the TAs are available so even if they might feel that look they're having to do additional work what is required is that the total amount of work for a three credit course or a six credit course is not going to be more for those students who only work just before the exam for them yes it will appear as though there is more work but for students who are who do the required amount of work this will not be more work for the first question about you know implementing such changes across the country so we can only start one institute at a time and we could start with your institute and in your institute once you make a step to make these changes slowly it will percolate so right now we have about 200 institutes which have signed up with us and slowly we will keep on increasing this number so we don't expect any changes to happen within a very short period of time but we are moving towards making changes RC 1028 we are very thankful to you for organizing such a wonderful workshop so I just want to ask you the query regarding that other technological tools ICT based technological tools we had gone through already because then TPS activities PA activities is there any other activities that would be very helpful for us to do the teaching effective so if you provide us the link or any kind of resources that will be very helpful for us so a quick answer to it is refer to the digital blooms taxonomy slides on day four so we'll again upload additional resources in model as to which all are the different technology tools used for specific purposes at different levels so please go through those list and try to explore those technologies first and start try different experiments with that technology RC 1235 sir my question is in the topic alignment of objective and assessment so now my learning objective is in apply level it means for apply level student must be able to understand and recall some concept then only we can apply but my question assessment question is in understand level or recall level whether the alignment of assessment and learning objective is aligned or not aligned actually you have answered your own question while posing it so the question that RC 1235 has posted is they have a learning objective at apply level and since apply subsumes recall and understand when they give the question at understand level is the learning objective and assessment question aligned so you have already specified learning objective that I am going to target apply level and you are giving only till understand recall or understand level so this is not aligned for the learning objective that you have mentioned so for proper alignment the learning objective and assessment question has to be at a same level RC 1315 my query is within learning strategy can we implement the learning strategy with a good understanding and the average understanding students to get to utilize the both of them at the same time yes so the short answer to the question is yes you can implement it with a mixed group also you can form groups and specifically have some high achievers as well as low achievers in a group and implemented or you can let students form their own groups in either case their strategies that we have talked about here will be effective RC 1008 my question is on GPS activity but is there any standard checklist or guidelines through which we can quickly measure the effectiveness of GPS activity okay so there are guidelines by which you can measure but by and large one way in which you can observe is that if you look at how much noise is happening in the class during this activity so initially there won't be much noise and then students will slowly get into the activity and the noise will increase and about 80% of once 80% of the class is discussing that is about the time when you can move on to the next phase of the activity so that is a very quick thumb rule that you can use to measure whether your tps activity is being effective or not otherwise there are other ways of you know using observation protocols and other mechanisms to exactly measure how much engagement or how much learning is happening because of tps but we do not want to go into that in this workshop RC 1240 I have 2 questions the first one is a collaborative type software so what are the other collaborative software next question is you want to implement which collaborative software we have to use okay so basically we just heard the first part of question I would urge you to post the question in chat so that we will be able to look it at closely the question was what are the other collaborative software discussion forums is a classic example of collaborative activities and nowadays most of the new web pages or the new technology that come they have inherently some kind of discussion forums or comment section which are being used for collaboration so unlike wiki they do not have simultaneous edit facilities but these can be used for collaboration so I will just take one question from chat this was posted by Siddha Ganga Institute what they have asked is they have done a question in classroom the same question is asked as a design question in the examination so they are asking what is the level so if it is exactly the same question it may not go beyond apply because they have already practiced this in class and it is the same so that is why in assessment it is required that you give questions which are slightly different and it actually matches the cognitive level 1 2 2 7 Dr. We have used wiki for trial now for uploading the question paper and all the same but can we use wiki for our further assignments and all these things or how much space we can use it for us so yes you can use wiki the maximum space available for wiki activities 5 GB so kindly refrain from uploading assignments or files into the wiki use model for all the file uploads yeah RC 1060 EBT College my question is there any psychological training to approach the students so there are lots of such courses but none of them are being offered or may be made compulsory as part of becoming a faculty at any institute so there are disciplines like cognitive science there are disciplines like educational psychology so what we can do is now that MOOCs have become so familiar if you look for courses on edX or Coursera you might actually find courses which will help you to be more prepared from the psychological as well as the cognitive science aspect for dealing with your students RC 1042 actually we are interested to adopt this particular wiki so far we are doing in model is it free or is it a playable version that is question number one second thing if you want to get a username for our college what the process we have to do okay so wikis there are free wikis for example media wiki is a free application that you can install in your college it is open source so in case you want to add more plugins to the wiki that is also possible wiki spaces allows you free account but domain name of the account to a certain extent it is possible you have to go through verification procedures and ensure that you are using this wiki for only education purposes and not for any commercial purposes then it will be available for you RC 1319 so we have two questions the first one is it is related to digital blooms taxonomy the question is at the evaluation level how does networking which is given in the list of technology tools and methods how does networking helps in checking the cognitive level of evaluation evaluate okay what is your second question if you can see the case of our country what you'll find are many subject domains in which we are teaching our engineering courses and what we have found that there are seriously limited visualization aids available on the given repository by you in this case what institutes should expect to do if they have to rely on the visualization aid are they required to grade these aids themselves or they should take the help of this which is not available actually the visualization videos are limited in that case what do you advise in that case okay so the visualization is not compulsory so I don't think any institute is going to make it compulsory that every teacher must show so many visualizations in every class so while we agree that the repositories that we have put up may not have the visualizations for your topic there are lots of such open resources that are available so it's a matter of you know either sitting down to search for them yourself or you know have one of your TAs or you know ask your students to find visualizations you will be surprised at the amount of visualizations that the students would have found without us telling them to do so so even if you ask students so for example in one of the courses when I did not have a sufficient number of visualizations the first assignment that I gave which of course did not have any credit was for students to find four visualizations on that topic and upload it and once that was done we out of those 40 visualizations which were found by students we could easily find five or six of them which were really useful really good which I did not know earlier as part of the repository so that's a very good method that you can use to find visualizations so give it as a non-credit assignment to students and you will be surprised at how much they find coming to the other question about networking at the communication level of evaluate level of digital bloom I really don't know the answer right now I've forgotten what was there at that point so we'll try to answer that over moodle so we'll we'll answer this in moodle we'll look at the exact learning activity that was designed and we'll explain it to you how it comes in evaluate level yeah RC1108 are there any disadvantages of this kind of technologies if we're implementing in our setup particularly so the whole workshop of two weeks has been about talking about advantages and disadvantages so there is so you had debates on advantages and disadvantages of various technologies so it is up to you to use it in situations where the advantage is being played up okay there is a question on chat on how many schools like IITs MIT Harvard Stanford use the flip classroom strategy the answer to that is all of them how many courses in each of those maybe about 10% of the courses okay there is a question can we have different learning strategies for a same class for a same topic because students learning level are different yeah so the question on can we have different learning strategies for a same class for the same topic yes the answer is yes so once again as a teacher you will have to be aware of which strategy is working for which group of your students and that's where the teacher's creativity comes into play RC1316 Dronacharya college good evening to everyone it was really a very very fruitful session and we came to learn a lot about how to implement good teaching perspectives inside the classroom now some of the questions which were hovering in the mind was like we came to know about flipped classroom now my question is suppose we are in trying to implement the concept of flipped classroom and on a fine day we come to the class I mean I go into the class and see that probably 50% of the students have watched the videos and have seen all the information that have been transmitted and the other half they have not seen the data that has been transmitted so in that case what do we do how do we make it effective so a quick answer to that is you start with refreshing the class about what was discussed in video maybe put up one or two questions wherein discussion is allowed between people who have watched and people who have not watched so this will make sure that the people who have not watched gets an idea of what was there in the video and then you can start the session that you intend to do so usually when for example when I start my class there is usually a open PI question a PI question or some kind of a thought-provoking question which is displayed on the screen while the students are walking in so at that time itself some discussion starts and you could you can also formalize this by having some weight age or some quick quiz at at the beginning of the class to ensure that students have watched the video but attempting to ensure that 100% of your students watch the video before they come to class is not a viable exercise because there will always be some who will not watch it and you just have to let it go so knowledge institute of technology sir our question is we have interact with the students about the ICT tools and we have explained the sessions what we have so far and the students side also they have some questions so in the angle this angle as a faculty I have a question so how to in order to measure the students employee skills how this ICT tools can be implemented or can you suggest a strategy by specifying a tool that can be used or the employable skills and also the success rate of a student okay so in order to measure employability again see if you look at it from the perspective of the employer they have certain objectives so once unless you know those objectives you cannot make out whether your students can meet those objectives so the idea is very similar to alignment between learning objectives and assessments so if your learning objectives are geared towards what the employer is required and if you're then and your assessment is geared towards the learning objectives then automatically you are guaranteeing that there is some employability of the students so beyond that there is no specific answer that can be given for this question useful method is make sure that the basic requirements of the computer basic computer literacy is there present among the students allow them to use different mechanisms different tools for projects or presentations in that way you will at least ensure that the technical knowledge of using the tools is available with the students so beyond this we cannot give you any specific strategy on that okay so there is one question on the chat window which says I had used flip classroom and got the feedback and asked student to solve the problems I got the feedback that the concepts are not clear what could be the problem so there could be couple of reasons one could be that the concepts were not properly explained in the video itself so the choice of the video the other could be that the solving of the problems that may not have been at the same level of as in the video itself both of these are possibilities so what you could do in this case is that you could take some time from the solving of the problem so while they are solving the problem you can do some short PI questions to ensure that the concepts become clear before they start to solve the problem so that is a strategy which you can use so you can anticipate that there may be some students for whom this concept is not clear and so come up with some PI questions which you can use as a revision to ensure that everybody has understood the concept before they start applying that to solve the problems okay there's one more question on how to propagate the idea of flip classroom to the student community so student community you will find really enjoys this flip classroom model for various reasons one is that they can watch the video at their own time second there is a notion of no pausing it replaying it and so on so if you simply start using it in your classes I mean once again it's not necessary that you must use it all the time but the moment you start using it you will find that students are favorably oriented towards use of the flip classroom there is one more question on are there any disadvantages like students perception that everything is available without attending class so that is one important perception that has to be addressed so what you have to make it clear to them is that only the information transmission part is available without attending the class the part of where they have to do the work to apply is not exactly available in the sense that you are facilitating it in the class so once we talk to students a few times then they will get the idea of why it is necessary to come to the class there may still be people who only relying on the information transmission part and simply look at the videos before coming to the exam and that is something that which we will just have to live with there's one more question about can we take into account learner style while writing the learning objectives learning objectives they are not really the same as taking into account learner style so you can take into account the learner style when you choose an instructional strategy rather than when you're deciding the learning objectives. Okay so with that I think there are no other queries that need to be looked at in the chat window also and if there are any other queries we will take it up in the moodle and with this we will come to the close of this face to face part of the workshop keep in mind that the workshop is not over there is also one more three days left where you have to do the assignment on the wiki projects and there will be another couple of assignments and that's when and there will be sufficient time for you to do the do those assignments and hopefully you have all benefited and will be able to use at least a few of these strategies in your classes and we'll get good feedback from your students which will encourage you to continue to use these strategies as you go along thank you very much.
