 other questions that you have, there is one important logistic question I think and take it from take it right now. Can we share a PC with two participants during session 4 on day 1? The answer is yes, you can share it. I would say if you have one PC for every two participants that is good enough. Anything less than that might be a little problematic. So please try hard to arrange one PC for at least every two participants. If you can get one per participants that is also okay, but one for every two is a good idea because a number of exercises will be group exercises. So you can just count and arrange one PC for every two participants that is a good ratio to have. If the participants get their own laptops it will save the burden on you also. A few more questions. There seem to be a number of requests for sessions on how to do presentations and posters. So I think we will include it on day 2. There have been requests to share this slide with the workshop coordinators. Of course, we are going to do it as soon as this is over. And let me one last question from the chats. What time will the actual conference start? 9.30? 9. We are going to start it at 9 am. 9 to 5.30. 9 to 5.30 will be the time of the actual conference. Let us look at some questions. Some of you have raised your hands and let us go to VIT Pune first. What I would suggest that you start thinking about right now is if you have any doubts about your own role, what you are supposed to do, how you are supposed to do it and so on. Because this is the only live interaction you will get. Over to you, VIT Pune. I want to elaborate the extended abstract which is asked by some conferences generally. Okay, thank you VIT Pune. The question is what to do when some conferences ask for extended abstracts? What I will do here is try to include this in the session on day 2 where we said organizing and planning your paper part 2. We will try to address this but we will take it up after we have done main abstracts and the main paper. But thanks for your suggestion. We will try to address this at some point. Again, if you have any doubts about the workshop schedule and what you are supposed to do, please ask your question right now. We will respond to as many as possible now and we will answer the rest on more. So, at this point, if you post it there, it will be a better idea. So, thanks for your, I am glad you were able to go through it. But it would be a good idea at this point if all of you can revisit the assignment and post your answers on Moodle since we have already finished the discussion. Thank you. I would like to request all of you to focus your questions now on your role in the workshop. If you have comments about the paper that we read or what makes a good conference paper, please post it as a response to the assignment on Moodle. So, the focus of these questions now will be the sessions of the workshop and your role in those sessions. So, if you come to our college, over to you. Madam, I have got two queries. The first one is, if we can have first hand idea of the exercises that are to be done on the computer or laptop, so that we do it ourselves, all myself and my peers, we do it ourselves and then we are pretty much ready to face the questions from our participants, that is the first thing. And the second thing is, initially the committee had circulated in the notice that the participants would have to submit a paper before the workshop. Then after the workshop, they would have to do the corrections and be submitted and once they did, only they would get certification. But that is not being followed now. We are not asking our participants to submit a paper while doing that registration, it's not mandatory. So, can you please throw some light on this? The response was so overwhelming that we decided that the participants... I mean, it is not mandatory for them to submit the paper at the time of registration but when they come for the workshop, they will have to bring paper with them, something that they have written and that you will have to look at. I will be writing to all the selected participants anyway. So, that will be the norm that we will be following. It would be very good if participants could upload the paper a few days before the conference so that you would have time to go over them and you can summarize them for us. So, we will be all prepared for the workshop. So, in order to make this happen logistically, what we could do is, what we will do is send them emails to submit it and we will ask them to submit it no later than say three days or so before the workshop or five days before the workshop. That will give you ample time to go over the papers and also will give us some time to go over your comments. So, we will send them emails and I would also suggest you to keep encouraging your participants from your own RC to submit these papers so that they come prepared for the workshop. What would not be very good is if they come to the workshop without having thought of a paper or if they come with the paper on the morning of the workshop, we would not be able to do anything with it. So, we will put the deadline a few days before the conference instead of right now. And the other point you had made that is a very good suggestion that we should post the exercises beforehand so that all the workshop coordinators know what these workshops are. So, what I would try from our side is to post the slides as well as the exercises beforehand. Now, exactly how much beforehand I would not be able to tell you right now, but I would say most of the slides and the exercises we will post them again two or three days before the conference. If we get, if they are ready earlier we will do it beforehand. So, that only the workshop coordinators can access them and you can become familiar with them. So, that is an excellent suggestion. Thank you for that. Over to you. Do you mean Moodle participants have to be organized according to center? You are suggesting to do this on Moodle, is that correct? Over to you. No madam, I am talking about the registrations that are being done right now. I have 48 registrations on my college. Right now you can take a look at the number of people registered in your RC. I am afraid there is no direct way to do this, but you go to a register, to an enrolment form and there is a link to the availability of seats in each remote center. If you click on that availability link, you will know exactly how many people have registered at your college. It is a slightly roundabout way, but I am trying to work out an easier way to look at the number of registrations at your place. I will also tell our team to send the number every two days or three days. By the way, we have already crossed the number of thousand already. So, I think it is a very good going. Sastra University, over to you. First thing I want to say is whenever we are discussing about the plagiarism software, it is better to concentrate on a free software so that everybody can use that software. If it is a proprietary software means we can see the demo, but utilization is a little bit difficult. Okay, thanks. We will take your suggestion. For the previous workshops and other things, it is possible to classify according to the remote centers. There is a list box available. According to that, we can find out how many participants are there in our remote center. But here when I see this, that list box is missing. I don't know whether it will be included later or not. Next thing is you send emails to the participants stating that you have to upload your papers before five days. We will also follow it so that we can have a very good performance. Yes, definitely. Next week onwards, I will start sending the names and the contact details of all the participants to all the remote centers so that you can follow this up. And I will also be sending an email to all the participants who have enrolled so far about the mandatory requirement of the paper. Okay, over. K.J. Somaya, over to you. Madam, I would like to know if any softwares are required on the machines. The second thing is the number of the participants, the approved participants, we should come to know in advance because the last date for the enrollment is 13th. So after that, very less time is there. If we know the approved participants, then we can ask them for their papers. And my request is to equip the workshop coordinators with the sufficient assignments so that effective conduction of the workshop will be there by the workshop coordinators. In advance and sufficient exercises for the workshop coordinators. Out and over. Okay, thanks. I will address two of your queries quickly and then I will hand it over to Dr. Mukta. Software, nothing specific other than word processing. So either open office or any other version of office. I do not think we need any specific software. As I said earlier, internet would be a good idea to have during that session because for certain exercises, internet might be required. Your final suggestion about sufficient exercises provided beforehand, we will take that into consideration and do the best that we can. Regarding the number of approved participants, we are going through the list almost every single day and we will, I think every two or three days we will be passing on the numbers to you. So by 13th, at the most 14th morning, I think we should have a fairly comprehensive list of all the approved participants. I don't want to extend it beyond 14th evening really because I know you would have a very short time to make the arrangements. Over and out. Madam, I have a question that you said that in the conference or in workshop you are going to be discussing in some domains like that you mentioned that CSE domain and one is education technology for education. Likewise, you told some specific domains you will be discussing by taking papers. So and you also asked that the workshop coordinator should identify the domains which the candidates are interested. So if it is, it will be good if we ask the participant to specify the domain then it will be easier for the workshop coordinator to identify the domain actually. Okay, we will try to solve this problem in some way. As I said it is not very crucial that we do it because we won't be able to address all domains and there are a lot of common themes within the domains. So at this point what I would suggest or what I would the way we are thinking of it is to split those sessions into two parts one related to papers that are primarily from the engineering domain and I am calling engineering as one block even though I know there is a lot of differences and one related to the teaching and learning strategies. As time goes on if we are able to get more information either from the participants or if we are able to get more experts from our side we will try to expand it. So we will see how to address this issue and maybe for the next five day workshop we will try to do it domain wise but if it is not possible, it was a suggestion from my side I know I didn't pass it along to the entire team earlier but let us see how we can handle this. Thank you over and out. Kolhapur Institute of Technology over. Hello. Thank you over and out. Hello madam. My query is related to day two session three. The role of coordinator is mostly presentation. Please let me know details about that. Yes. You are asking details. Please elaborate that. Mostly presentation means what you are exactly expecting from the coordinator. The session said mostly presentation. What is the role of the workshop coordinator? In fact places where it says mostly presentation there is not much to do for the workshop coordinator. It means that we will be taking a large part of the role for that part of the session. On the other hand since we will already send you the slides we will elaborate that later, we will elaborate that in our notes but what I would request all of you to do is go through the slides and even when the presentation is going on from our side you know what is coming next. And if there are queries from your local participants you may be in a better position to answer them. So places where it says mostly presentation you do not have an active role but you can answer local queries and be the facilitator. I hope that answers your question over and out. I have two questions madam. One is that when the presentation is going on can the participants ask the questions to the IIT team? And second question is that when we have a practical session we will be in the lab and a lecture will be held in the lecture hall. So when we are in the lab we will be able to connect to IIT. So will we have a connectivity to IIT when we are working in the lab for the practicals? Let me answer your first question that can participants ask questions during the morning sessions. In principle yes. What I would suggest for a smooth flow is if they ask questions through the chat it is fairly easy for from our side to look at the chat queries in between and answer them and that will also be useful for all the other participants. You can raise your hand if you think it is a very important question if it is a clarification question and if you want to make sure that your question is addressed I would say that you please type it in within the chat and you will have higher chances of your question being answered there. Regarding whether there will be connectivity during the lab let me. So in the lab session or in the afternoon session what will happen is that participants will work on PCs but we would like connectivity even at that point. It is a bit difficult to arrange all the PCs in the seminar hall. Prof. Joshi I suggest that when the practical session is going on you have at least one PC in the lab connected to Avue. So the Avue team will give you instructions about how to do that but at least one PC in the computer lab should be connected to IIT. Is that clear? Yeah that can be done madam. Okay because as Prof. Sahana Murthy says there will be a lot of interaction during the practical session also. So at least one PC will be absolutely necessary. PC with connection to IIT Bombay. The way I see that session happening is if this one PC is connected to IIT Bombay the workshop coordinator can take questions from the individual participants and you can post those questions on the chat via Avue. The laptops or PCs that the participants will be working on you can treat them as local machines to mainly do the word processing and do the exercises. If that's the situation you have to make sure that these exercises are downloaded on those PCs beforehand. So we will post all the materials on Moodle a few days ahead of time and you can make sure that the participants have access to them either on the lab PCs or on their local laptops before the practical session. I hope this will be workable. Over to you. Yeah that can be done madam. Thank you madam. This is for the benefit of all the coordinators. There is no need for a projector in the lab in the computer lab only one computer with Avue connection to IIT Bombay is sufficient. There is no need for a projector. Akinada institute over to you. I have a small doubt and I just want to ask to Dr. Mukta madam. Mukta madam good afternoon. I just want to ask one common question. At the time of registration through online the actual particular field is not there to submit the permission letter. So at what stage they have to submit the permission letter and whatever may be the reason the remote center coordinator and the workshop coordinator will cross check at the time of the participant reporting for the main workshop. Participants have already started sending us permission letters through email. We have not provided a link but people have started sending us through email. They are expected to send a scanned copy of the permission letter to us by email. And it is also the duty of the remote center or workshop coordinator to cross check with each and every participant. They will bring the original letter for you to cross check. Over and out. There seems to be a question from SGS ITS Indore over to you. Yeah ma'am. I just want to know. I have actually tried to contact many institutes in and around Indore through telephone as well. I have sent emails to many people. I just want to know how many internal participants would you allow? Yes. I have been receiving many questions about this. Professor Fatak had said that you should maintain a decent balance. Now he did not specify exactly what that decent balance would be but we have so far had a ratio of 10% against 90% in the earlier workshops. I suggest we can go up to 25% for this. But please do make sure that the priority is the outsiders who would otherwise not get a chance to attend a workshop like this. Over and out. This is a question to Professor Mukta. Ma'am, we are planning for the morning sessions in the seminar hall which has got a capacity of 80 and the practical sessions will be in the lab which has got a capacity of 20 PCs. So if you allow two people one PC so at the maximum we can have 30 to 40. So can we get an additional AVU user ID to increase the capacity? Yes. I think that is possible. Over and out. Just send me an email with a CC to Sajjan and Sushant and we should be able to manage. Over and out. Good afternoon ma'am. Donesh here. We have some sort of questions. First thing is as I mentioned, send the mail also. We have more number of applicants here because though we can accommodate only 80 I raised the question to send the mail to Mudram seeking another user ID and the password. What is in the state? Another user ID and the password. Over to you ma'am. And another question is if you have more than candidates how to select if you give the list of participants shall we select or you will balance. And another one is the list of participants though you are answered in other I mean remote centers. Same question. Let me repeat it again. The list of most of the participants is in the Bonavit certificate. I mean usually the other workshop they will upload during the enrollment itself but this time we are asking to bring it at the time of registration. Suppose they are not turned up at the registration earlier one queries we can see the students separate and they separate the certificate also they will be given by the IIT Bombay if it is a Bonavit, I mean participants other cases. Over to you ma'am. I think I had sent an answer to the mail about the separate an additional AVU ID. I just want I think I had said in that that we will wait till the registration is over because we also have two other colleges in the same area and that is Rajalakshmi College and we have SRM at Kanchipuram which are again very close to Chennai. It is not fair if just Anay University has a lot of participants and Rajalakshmi and SRM do not even their capacity is not full so we will wait till the enrollment is over and then I will take the decision of whether to give you another AVU connection I think I had said this in my email earlier and the other thing about the participants, the approved participants, we will send you a list as I said earlier we will send it to you at the most by 14th evening and this will people have already started sending us bonafide certificates by email we have not provided a link this time for uploading because it has created a lot of problem on our server so people are sending it to us by email and we will provide you the list of approved participants by 14th evening over and out T.S.V. Koimathur over to you Yes Madam we are with our system we got to be in good position we are getting the presentation and the assignment also we will go through and we will respond Shiv Kumar you will have to do something about the audio at your remote center it is not clear at all yeah please please come for the testing this problem is recurrent your center does not turn up for testing and then during the actual workshop we have this problem so please come for testing over and out Sastra University over to you is there any restriction for the branches there is no restriction right now however we cannot promise that we will address each branch individually most of the things that we talk about will be common for all branches some of our examples might be chosen from certain branches but there is no restriction as such as to who should be in and who should not be in over and out K. J. Somaya over to you in the morning many of us have given the suggestions or the opinions about the uploaded paper can you comment so that we will come to know whether we were right or wrong thanks okay that is an interesting question there is no right or wrong answer here as most of you would have known what I did during the presentation was really summarize or take all your points and try to fit them in so what I can do is the presentation itself will be posted but in addition if you want I can post a response to the question and I will what I will try to do there is to take the threads that each of you the themes that each of you have mentioned and connect them so that is something I can do but there is none of you gave a wrong answer there is no such thing but what I want to mention is many of you missed the points about selling the problem and defending the solution and so on I found that there was a large emphasis on the formatting and the spacing and the fact that the table caption was not visible while that is important that is not the most important thing so when you are writing a paper you have to pay attention to those but you have to definitely make sure that the logical flow is correct and your solution is actually addressing the problem and the problem is interesting and so on thank you for your question what I suggest at this time is if you have questions about the the content of the workshop the role of the RC and all please do ask your question right now if you have a question on the other hand about how many participants you can admit or how to do a view and all you can always send an email to the outreach team most of these answers have been repeated a few times because somebody else has asked them and we don't mind answering you individually via email but if you ask them right now it's going to distract from the main theme of this meeting so those of you who raised your hands I hope your questions are about the content of the workshop and the flow of the workshop or a suggestion as to some new topic that you want in the workshop so let's say we take questions till 115 okay thank you for those of you who retracted your questions we have two more questions let's take those two well over to you faculty have registered under Anna University which is far away from our place can I talk to the faculty members who have already registered to other centers or is it possible to transfer to VIT it's just a request I want emails from those participants who have registered at Anna University and want to shift to VIT I have no problems in shifting them but I would like emails from those participants themselves over and out one more question madam whether the participant has to submit the copy to the remote center or they can scan and upload the copy which one is which one I have to follow it is both he has to scan the copy of the permission letter and send it to us by email and bring the original with him when he comes for the workshop and you have to check it over and out thanks to all of you for participating in a very active and interesting round of discussion today morning I hope we were able to clear most of your doubts as we have mentioned several times do send us email if you have other questions from our side we will be posting a few materials on Moodle so if you want to contact us regarding the content of the workshop the Moodle forum would be a good place to start a query because that's where all other participants also can see the questions you have posted and I will also be checking the Moodle chat forums if you have any tech problems regarding audio video and technical aspects please contact Sushant and the appropriate people and any other suggestions that you would like to make as to what you would like to see in the workshop again please post it on Moodle so let me thank all of you once again for being here today morning and hope to see you all in about two weeks time over and out
