 Good morning. So, we will start slowly. We hope that about in 5, 10 minutes all the centers will join us and all the participants will be here. What we will do is to give you a very broad overview of the course which you have already seen, but maybe just a few minutes till we wait for others to join ok. So, this course is as you know being held in two modes. It is a blended mode of online and in a face to face. So, we have already completed the online which was done in IIT Bombay X in Moodle and now we have the face to face workshop will be spread out over next few days. So, you have seen this before. So, this course will have the two portions which is the online one. So, all of you have taken viewed lectures, taken quizzes in the MOOC platform known as IIT Bombay X and you also have submitted lot of assignments which were evaluated by your in Moodle platform. So, this portion of the course is done and now we come to this face to face portion where you have come to your local centers and we will have faculty from IIT Bombay here who will run through various aspects of what you learnt in the online portion. So, this is essentially what you can call as a flip classroom. So, what you have already done will be reviewed now and you will have some assignments which are tutorials live conducted by our faculty from here. So, what we have now is we are connected with Bombay here and we have centers about 119 centers throughout the country most of them from Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu and we have a few in the north and some in the east. So, all these centers are connected through this A-view platform and they will all be viewing along with you this session that is being conducted here and some of you might have already seen this platform. Now in this platform what it allows you is to listen to what is happening here live and it also gives you an opportunity to interact. So, what you what will happen is your remote center coordinator if you have any questions you please let them know and they will raise the hand. So, raise the hand is a software button there. So, we will come to know which of the center is having some clarifications to ask and then we will stream that video live and then we will respond to those questions. So, this will happen towards the after we begin the classes this session is predominantly going to be a tutorial kind of activity where we will be reviewing the concepts and then giving you small assignments. So, how do we see that you could use this course in your own curriculum. So, the videos that you have already seen in IIT Bombay X will be made available in IIT Bombay X students to register. We will let you know about the modalities of how to enroll your students later next semester, but what will happen is exactly as what you have done in this course. So, the students can register for IIT Bombay X and then view the online videos, complete self assessments online and then so all this they can do at their home or hostel. Now, once they have been prepared with some basic material and then they come to your classes and you can conduct tutorial sessions just as we are conducting tutorial sessions now. So, just as we did a flip classroom for this course you will be doing a flip classroom for your own course. Students of your college to take it in a more formal way you might need approvals from your own academic sections or deans or principles and you also write to us if you want to include any particular topic or we will have a particular schedule of activities. So, if there is some small changes required we could work on that and then you need to enable some ways in which students can enroll in this course. So, with that broad introduction I will quickly introduce the team here who have been tirelessly working behind the scenes to get you this course. First to my left is Professor Viren Sethi. He is from Environmental Sciences and is very closely involved in this course. We have a similar course of communication skills running in IIT Bombay and most of us who have whom we have seen in video lectures are all involved in this course. That is Professor Parthasaradhi and Ambarish Kunwar, Professor Lina Jha, Professor Fatak. This is the team from the workshop Mahendra Kanan. Can you quickly tell your names and introduce yourself? The workshop team is led by Dr. Mukta Adre and the team members are Ajay, Sarika, Archana, Kishore and coming to Anshweta Shinde. That is Dr. Kalpana Kanan and Nazia that is Varsha and Urmila. They are some of the content. The E studio team is led by Sajjan. And the other team members are Pradeep Patil, Shekhar Patil. He is a cameraman. Santosh Sushant here. So Ajay Nair, most of you would have seen his answers. He has been very actively participating in helping the conduct of the course. Shweta and Rashma. Okay. So we just give a couple of minutes. If anybody has questions from there, we will just see if the audio is working well in your side. If anybody has a question, can you please ask your report center coordinator to raise the hand? Yeah, okay. We need some inputs in elevator switch actually. We will take each of those topics that we dealt in IIT Bombay in detail. Yeah, we go ahead. Okay, sir. The timetable has been already shared with you, but we will again discuss it later today. Amal Jyoti. Good morning. Morning, sir. All right. So I just want to welcome all of you. So as I'm speaking with you, you're being observed by us, our host center here at IIT Bombay as well as 117 other centers. So you can say hello to all 117 other centers. Say hello. Everybody say hello. Everybody. Not just the person with the microphone. Everybody. Okay. Excellent. Excellent. So we want to welcome you to the course. Welcome to the course. Thank you, sir. Yeah.

And by the time you're done with this course, you want to walk out like you have actually come back from a mountaineering expedition, like actually brothers and sisters together in a common mission. That's the intention of this course. So I want to welcome you to that mission. Savita Engineering. Good morning. Very good. Very good. I like that. All right. Very good. So how many of you knew each other before you came today together? Okay. Some people. Okay. Good. So one of the things we want to do is have you be present to the fact that the greatest resource that you have is right there in the room with you. And all we are doing from here is some kind of a facilitation so that a large number of communities across India can start working together. Okay. So you really need to be working with each other. It's an interactive course. So a lot of the work will happen with each other. And all we will do from here is try and enable whatever can be done. Is that okay? All right.

So what I'd like you to do now in this 10 minutes, I'll just tell you how this next five days is lined up. So while that is there, and this is the, what I'd like you to do now is to actually introduce yourself to others in the classroom. So most of you are probably from the same college, but there are many more people who have come from other colleges. So I'd like you to take the next five minutes to please introduce yourself to others in the classroom and also form a small group. So most of the activities that we will be doing in this course of tutorial of the face-to-face workshop will be a group activity, a small group activity, and then you will present it to the whole of the classroom. So please take the next five minutes to introduce yourself to others whom you don't know in the class. I hope you're introducing yourself. How many are from, not from your college, Gyanamani College? Where is this? Gyanamani. Everyone from our colleges. Okay, very good. Thakur College. Sir, we have around five faculty members from outside, outside Thakur College of Engineering. Very nice. So I hope they're all comfortable there. So get used to your colleagues in Thakur College. So you'll all be interacting more in the next five days. Thank you very much. VNIT Nakhpur. Okay, there's only two of you there. Are any more expected in Vishweshwarya? There were four participants registered, but only one has reported, sir. Okay, thank you very much. Tyagaraja College. How many from outside the college, Tyagaraja? Good morning, sir. I'm Rajaram from Tyagaraja College of Engineering. Nice to meet you, sir. We have 29 participants from Tyagaraja College of Engineering and we have six people from outside. Six. Okay, thank you very much. So let me just give you an overview of the schedule. So this is the broad overview you might have already seen. So the lecture sessions start at 9.30 and end at 4.15. And each is a 1.5-hour session. And there's a small break of five minutes between two sessions, one here and one here. And we also have a 45-minute lunch break. All the sessions will start on time. So I'll just go through the topics once more. So we've had the welcome session now. We'll have two sessions next on the scientific methodology. Then in the late afternoon, we'll have one on listening. This will be followed the next day also by another exercise in listening. We then move on to reading. So which will, the both the scientific methods, reading will all be based on the activity that you have done in a model. Then we'll have a discussion on ethics and authorship, data presentation, abstract writing, elevate approach and summary writing. This all with respect to writing. We have writing is the most dominant feature here. And then that will be followed by presentation, slides for presentation, group discussion, interviews on Friday. And then on gender and diversity issues in STEM education as well as in workplace communication. Then on the last and final day, we'll have two sessions on presentation skills. We'll have one session for you to raise questions on the session on the course in general. And we'll close around three o'clock on Saturday, this coming Saturday. So the way the activities have been designed here, most of the activities will be on the following basis. Firstly, what we'll do is the lecturers whom you have seen in IIT BombayX video, they'll all be here. And they will quickly recollect the important aspects of the lecture that they have given you. It will not be a full lecture, it will be a few points, important points from the lecture. And then that will give you an opportunity to initiate discussions on some questions or clarifications that you have had. And then we'll start the tutorial activity. So the tutorial activity will be done in a mode called as the think-par-share. I'll tell a little more about it. So once a small activity is done, and then we'll still continue by further questions and answers. Since you have already carried out a small activity, you will be able to ask and clarify more doubts. And in certain cases where it's applicable, we'll also give you hints on how to handle large classes for that particular assignment. So for example, the most of the things that we are doing now are exactly the way we do for our own students and we expect that you will do for your own students. So we'll also share some tips on how we can conduct large class activities. So what is think-par-share? Let me just tell you what this think-par-share is. So what will be given is first you'll be posed a problem and you have to think about it and write down the answer to it on a piece of paper. So I hope all of you will carry a piece of paper with you or a piece of notebook. So about a few minutes, a couple of minutes will be given for you to think about it and respond. So you will respond first yourself independently. This will be followed by what is known as the pair. So you have to please sit next to a neighbor with whom you're going to share what you have written and also listen to what they have to tell you. So this will help you improve the answer both of you together. You will improve the answer, you'll be able to improve the answer, you might be able to clarify certain points that you have missed or your partner has missed. And then we will randomly call a center to present it to the bigger classroom, not just to the classroom for your own center but to a bigger classroom. Now as you know the bigger classroom, there's only one center that can be relayed simultaneously. So we will pick a couple of centers at random but you could also present the workshop coordinators in each center can request a couple of people to present it to your own class. In case there is an audio problem connecting to us, you can ask your participants to present locally and also listen to the presentations that are given across all the centers. What I'd like you to do now in this 10 minutes I'll just tell you how this next 5 days is lined up. So while that is there and this is the what I'd like you to do now is to actually introduce yourself to others in the classroom.
