 My name is Mahendra Parmar and today I am going to talk about train 10,000 teachers training program under the national mission on education through ICT. Recently we have got the approval from Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya. So all of our future workshops will be run under Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya national mission for teachers and training. Before I talk about the T10KT thing, I will just give you the scenario in India. The thing is in last two decades it is observed that there are increasing number of engineering institutions and students opting for engineering courses. But the thing is that there is a lack of access to good quality education. If you see, there are only about 20% of engineering institutions as per our survey. They are employable at the industry level. And two-third of the universities, they are like middling or in poor standard. So there is a urgent need for skill enhancement for teachers in different subjects and other less explored areas. And the problem is like we cannot train all of them because the number of teaching fraternities is on higher side. So we have come up with the T10KT model. We started this initiative in 2009, obviously by Professor D.B. Fatak. Initially we started with edu-stat facility. It was done through satellite. We had very limited number of remote center in this edu-stat facility as it is expensive stuff to have it. And only few remote centers could afford it. So later we moved towards this A-view thing which is connected through internet and it has a wider reach. We can cover more number of participants using A-view. We have conducted this teacher training program in two phases. This one was trained 1000 teachers training program. And in phase two that started in 2012, it was trained 10000 teachers training program. In 2012, IIT Kharagpur also extended the hand and they become our partners. They are also conducting training program for teachers just like us. So why T10KT model is effective? In this T10KT model, we can train large number at one go. Like you can imagine training 10000 teachers at one go is a very big thing. And otherwise like if you call everybody to IIT Bombay or to IIT Kharagpur, we could only train about 300 or 400 maximum. But in this we could cover the larger number of people and teachers. We could do empowerment of students and teachers both through synchronous and asynchronous instruction. And the thing is like since T10KT uses A-view facility and use of ICT is done optimally, like instructors have to do very minimal changes to give this live lectures. And last but not the least, it was very cost effective. So how we conduct the STTPs? IIT faculty, they decide on the topic on core engineering subject. Then we decide on the common syllabus. We have the coordinators workshop first, which I will talk about this later. In the main STTP, we conduct the synchronous distance mode of teaching that is through A-view. Then various tools have been used like Moodle, IIT Bombay, Flipped Classroom like SirSat. And all of these contents later on after the STTP, they are generated in open source for free download. So till now we have conducted 39 STTPs and covered different domains like computer science, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, physics in some interdisciplinary course also. Like research methodologies, solar photovoltaics and green building awareness. I forgot to add technical communication, which was well appreciated all across. We have about 1,35,000 participants so far from this 357 remote centers. And I just would like to add that there are 4,060 unique institutions who have participated so far. So what is a remote center? Remote center is an engineering institute which should have a good infrastructure. A-view is done through online mode. We need an institute who can facilitate this thing. So we need an engineering institute. They should have this facility, A-view equipment and some minimal lab, separate lab is required. They should have proximity to other colleges also so that when the main STTP is conducted, the nearby colleges can come and attend this program sitting there. Academics means how many departments they have and the number of faculty which are. So this is the map of the remote center. We have 357 remote centers across 26 states and two union territories. There are a few states which we are yet to cover which is Bihar, Nagaland and some noticed states. So the methodology is like we make the remote centers first just like I showed you here. We make the remote centers. We request the remote center to have people at the remote center. There are like remote center coordinators. He is the overall in charge of that remote center. He generally lies between their institute and IT Bombay. Whenever the workshop is announced, he generally make sure that their experts are being nominated and they do the registration online. So RCC is remote center coordinator. The workshop coordinator is subject expert who comes to the coordinator's STTP and later become the workshop coordinator in the main STTP. And then we have A-view coordinator. His role is also again very important because he has to make sure that the live transmission continues throughout the workshop in case of any problem he has to sort it out as soon as possible. I talked about the people at remote center. So we conduct the coordinator short term training program two months prior the main STTP. So all of this practice like to conduct the one workshop make sure that that plan is done six months prior the main STTP. So two months before the main STTP we conduct the coordinator's STTP where the subject expert from this remote center they come to IT Bombay. They are being trained the methodology like how to go about it in the main STTP. They are being taught like what all things will be covered. And later we discuss the syllabus with them and the syllabus is finalized so that in the main STTP all this topics are equivalent all in the remote center. And then later we conduct the main STTP. In the main STTP the nearby colleges and the faculty they assemble at this remote center. They attend the workshop here and if they have any query the workshop coordinators helps them out and they can also do the interaction with IT Bombay using A-view chat the Moodle discussion forum or IT Bombay platform discussion forum. So this is the process flow in this we conduct the coordinator's STTP like I told you earlier we coordinate with the remote centers first then this remote centers do the registration they become the prospective workshop coordinator then we conduct the sessions at IT Bombay of course there is a certification given at the end of the workshop and later we conduct the main STTP in this the nearby faculty attend the workshop here then the live video session is conducted using A-view and real time audit from IT Bombay happens simultaneously just to check like all the centers are online or not and after the short term training program we issue the certificate there are some criteria also which instructors decide after once this is decided we do the filtration of a certificate certificates are distributed to this remote centers and later the audio video edit is done and then uploaded online. So this is a snapshot which I'll show you. So faculty from IT Bombay is delivering live lecture and in the second slide on the right side of yours faculty from IT Bombay is interacting with one of the remote center and some interesting findings which we have seen like 91 to 92 percent they have indicated the high perception of learning and satisfaction so which is a very good thing for us like all the content which are given from IT Bombay they are being useful and they are using it in their day to day teaching and we have seen that 19,353 teachers they participate more than one workshop the teachers are basically very busy in their academic schedule but still they take some time out for this workshop and they attend the program not only teachers we have seen remote centers also like they participate continuously like 33 percent of 357 remote centers they are continuously participating and they are the most recurring remote centers in our workshops so in 2015 we have launched this IT Bombay platform through OpenEDX only and we have been conducting MOOCs and blended MOOCs in this platform in phase 2 only like trained 10,000 teachers training program we have also added the blended MOOCs here in the blended MOOCs we conduct the face to face and online segment is also there so suppose if we announce for the 2 week IST STTP they don't have to physically attend this workshop at the remote center for 2 weeks now they just have to attend only for one week and rest of the weeks have been actually it's an online thing so 5 weeks equivalent is called as one week of actual work so we give them the online activity that is the MOOC part and they have to come for the face to face interaction at the remote center so this we call it as a blended MOOC we have not only done the blended MOOCs for teachers but we have done the blended MOOCs for students also it's limited to autonomous institutions only this courses we have announced this in 2015 July we have conducted the semester long course for this autonomous institutions where the teachers of this autonomous institutions they become the mentor of the students the students who score this marks in IT Bombay X their scores are being considered in their internal grading so how this STTPs are useful now for larger audience like all the contents it's available in open source like it is available in both video and document format and of course teachers are getting IT Bombay style teaching learning to know more about the NME-ICT thing you can visit our www.it.itb.ac.in slash NME-ICT website thank you
