 Good afternoon everyone, welcome back to this interactive session. In the last session Dr. Sameer Sahasrabudde had talked about visual communication skills. I hope all of you got a good idea about things to be checked while doing presentations. I also think that the peer review process that was done locally would have given you some idea about the review process. We had done one informal peer review in the discussion forum in the week one where we had asked each of you to evaluate the course journal, upload the course journal and rate each other's course journal in the discussion forum. So now in the morning there were several doubts in the morning and in yesterday's sessions several people had asked doubts regarding the way the discussion forum is structured and how to navigate effectively in the discussion forum. So I have a small presentation for you which will help you in understanding how the discussion forum is structured in FDP 101x. After this explaining the discussion forum I will be taking questions from questions and clarifications from each of the remote center. So let me start the session. So it is about utilizing discussion forum. So the structure of discussion forum is something like this. On the top left hand menu you will have several tabs or several sub structures which you can actually access to identify a discussion that was happening in a specific topic. So for example in the current FDP we have discussion forums of the form LXI course journal, LXI web presence and we also had LXI about learning management systems. There is also a general what you say the general forum and there are some so there is also another subdivision on a queries where you can post the queries that you have and we will try to answer it. So all you have to do is in the discussion forum on the top left all you have to do is click on it then you will see the structure that is coming down. Now there was another question about finding your own posts. So one way of looking at is using the search bar and typing your username the IIT Bombay X username in that particular search bar. So what will happen is you will see that there is a window will come which ask you show posts by a particular user. If you click on this username then you will see all the posts made by this user. Also the search results can be structured or can be accessed as unread, unanswered and flagged. So you can sort the discussion forum based on most recent activities by most activities that means a post which has maximum activity. So for example in this FDP the post introduce yourself has maximum number of people responding to it and there is also something known as most votes. So these are posts where you actually upvote the post because the content or the description provided in the post is helpful for you. Now identifying these kind of posts will be helpful for the instruction team to understand who all are posting good discussions and are engaging in it. Next it is about upvoting. So every post on the right hand side of the post when somebody creates there is an option for upvoting and following. So this star button is for following. So whenever you follow the post so as you see in the first window you can see this post I am following. So you click on star where important posts that you want to follow then when you click on this post I am following all these posts will come beneath it based on the search criteria like whether it is based on recent post most activity or most votes. Let me now take questions from different participants the remote centers I will so if you have questions please raise your hand so that I can find it over here. So Supreme Knowledge Foundation Group RC 1343. So in the morning session a gentleman had asked you a question that is is ICT invading teachers space right? Yes. So we could not get your answer because we could not get your answer over here. So could you come back with the answer once again? Okay so thank you for the question. So the question is somebody in the morning session had asked about ICT's intrusion or invasion into teachers teaching learning process. Now let me give you a straight answer what do you say? An indirect answer to this question ICT provides advantages like efficiency in terms of teaching learning delivery and it also helps in scaling up the existing teaching learning process. Now if this is done carefully looking at the way in which ICT features can be used in general teaching learning then a teacher can control the level of intrusion of ICT into their own teaching learning. It is just like Professor Fatak yesterday explaining about the 25th the mythical 25th hour of Professor Isaac. Instead you do things carefully in an organized manner then there is always benefit for any technology that you want in your regular teaching learning process. I hope I have clarified the answer. Yes sir. Yeah thank you. Yes you did. Thank you. So I will now move to the next remote center. This is RC 1259 Samath's KBT College of Engineering, Nashi. How to know the information about visitors to our web page? Okay the question is how to know what you say the information about visitors to our web space be it WordPress or other utilities. So the answer to it there are widgets which will actually look at website hits and website count. There are several people who use different methods let us say Google analytics, widget for website count. There are multiple ways of doing the same thing but in WordPress you will get this particular information as a widget itself. Now let me go to 1101. I appreciate first of all your way of conduct interaction. Thank you. Okay my question is an extension question which is asked in the morning session from NEMES. It was regarded with the effective learning teaching in the laboratory. So you answered that question by saying that it can be left to discretion of an instructor. This is what the answer that you give. Yes. So I just have an extension question which can be a thought provoking where can we have the facility given by IIT Mumbai or IIT Bombay in the form of virtual lab. Like virtual lab is a facility which has been given for the conduct of experiments. Yes. So can we have the blend of that facility into this ICT? Okay. Is it feasible I mean? So let me rephrase the question. So can the question is can the FDP have or the FDP on ICT have facilities of virtual labs as part of the regular teaching learning curriculum of the FDP. So the answer is yes it can have however see what happens in a large scale program is that we need to cater to the diverse audience that is available in the FDP. So virtual labs by themselves are doing lot of workshops. So you can contact the virtual labs team who will be able to I think will be able to happy to help you out in workshops, setting up workshops for the faculty. So if you look at the FDP audience you have a variety of audience ranging from engineering to arts and science and even law. Now concept like virtual labs may not be suitable for such a diverse audience and hence it has not been included in the current FDP. However if we have let us say domain focused FDPs then we will definitely consider use of virtual labs. Let me now go to 1, 2, 8, 1 S V E R college. Good afternoon sir. Good afternoon. I want to ask a question regarding the course journal. Ok. So we have yes sir we have seen your first lecture in a first week and you said that the structure of the course journal and the representation of the structure will come up with some of the video lectures in the coming week but so we are not able to get what is the exact structure of the course journal and what should be the representation for that course journal and because ultimately at the end we have to submit this course journal. So please can you elaborate all this. Ok. Are there any more questions? So one is about the course journal. No sir. Ok. So the question from RC 1 to 8-1 is about structure of course journal. Now so it is so a course journal is more or less similar to the class notes that students take in a regular classroom but the only difference is that the course journal has more reflective entries of participating faculties experience. Since there are no standard formats for the course journal however you are free to do your own structure. So if you actually look at course journal submitted in the discussion forum a lot of people have done innovative what is a structure of course journal. So somebody has done it in tabular form, somebody has split it across activities, somebody has used a theme to develop a course journal. So there are no hard and fast form for a course journal simply because it is your own experience that you are noting down to a course journal. You can follow any structure as long as your course journal is understood by another student because your course journal is primarily targeting another user another colleague of yours or the instructor because they will be looking at these notes and understanding how much you have got from the FDP. So next let me go to 1092 KIT college Kolhapur. Sir my question is related to the animation which you have used in your first video lecture of first week. Okay. While presenting something you are showing some designs using your hand and fingers teacher student relations what technology or software used may I know sir? Okay are there any more questions ma'am from the center? Is the technology used is it open source or that was the question sir over to you sir. So I was just consulting with my studio team over here just to clarify whether my understanding is right. So the question is what was the software used for what do you say fancy animations in my videos. So the quick answer is they are known as video editors it is called what do you say the category of softwares are called video editors for the current videos we have used Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects. Okay sir. Thank you very much. So but please note that there are open source software is available for video editing but it may not be as effective as a proprietary software like Adobe Premiere or it depends I mean you will have to look at what all functionalities are being provided. So for example earlier there was a software called Windows Movie Maker. This used to come in Windows XP and its subsequent versions. This was also a video editing software but what we could do was only let us say putting it in a box or different forms in which video can be edited giving colors making chroma tint etc etc. Those were very impressive sir. Yeah thank you. So I would pass on the credits to our studio team who have actually done the entire process and it so for example let me just tell you an approximate effort four minutes of video it took us nearly half day so around three to four hours just to shoot the videos and another four to five hours to prepare the effects and do the reviewing and other process. It is a very time consuming process. Yeah we are fortunate for this sir getting all these things material resources video etc sir. Thank you very much sir on our behalf. Yeah thank you. So let me now go to the next remote center KK Wag 1008. Sir I am Chetna Kanlaskar from KK Wag 1008. Sir my question is very simple and the discussions of the structure understand it and. Some your voice is breaking so let me rephrase the question and tell me whether it is my understanding is correct or not. So it is about the structure of the discussion forum and how to navigate it correct. So that is exactly what I started this session with. So if you actually look into the menu of the discussion you can see it has been arranged to multiple categories or tags have been given like LXI week one LXI course journal LXI web presence there are general discussions there are also queries that has been posted in the discussion. So you can use any of these so if you look at based on the type of query let us say you have a query on course journal what I would recommend is go to the exact section called LXI course journal and create a new post in it so that others will understand that this is a query in the discussion forum under the course journal and you can post the queries either as questions which you want answers to and general discussion topics. So by questions what we mean is exactly questions that you are posing like this how to navigate how to structure where other peers will contribute to the answer and even the community TA will answer your queries by discussion it could be more generic discussion let us say uploading your course journal the link of the course journal and getting reviews from your peers so these could be classified as a discussion. So this is I mean it will take some time for you to understand because every persons ICT what do you say familiarity differs it is just like how so one analogy that I could give us kids these days let us say 1 to 2 year olds are able to do mobile swipes and download games easily using their fathers or parents mobile. Now this is like they are also what we call them are digital natives that means they are they are in a system where use of digital tools or ICT devices are very common now for us to become a digital native there is a learning curve for us and there are no other shortcuts other than practice so you will have to post discussions get answer go through the structure etc to clearly understand the discussion forum. I hope I have answered your question yes sir okay so let me now go thank you yeah let me now go to the next remote center 1108 RC Patel Shirpur yes my question is as since the discussion forum is a very important aspect yes still what I have observed that we are not able to maintain the continuity during discussion okay since every time although you have discussed various ways to find out those discussions in various categories but still once we get out of that discussion and do some of the activities that continuity is not maintained so and we have a system like notification which comes in Facebook somebody comment on my session so that I can continue further okay and one more yes yeah you can ask your second question can you show some examples of good discussion which has taken place on our forum because we can't go through various pages there are 22 26 28 pages every time it is difficult to open those pages and find out the good discussion okay so display some good example of discussion okay so the question is about can there be a functionality of mail notifications for discussion forum and second can this be more structured as in can there be tags wherein it is easily it could be easily navigated across the discussion forum so the answer to the question is yes we can have email notifications so currently the open edx version of that we are using for it Bombay X it does not support I mean currently does not support the mail notification feature however in the we are soon going to upgrade the it Bombay X software and you will have what do you say mail notifications coming for discussions just like how Facebook notifications come for each post or comments second thing regarding structuring can there be another utility so we are constrained by the current use of discussion forums in the current version of it Bombay X however what you can do is you yourself can practice organization and structured manner in which discussions can be taken place so for example in each discussion forum we are giving you clear instructions that you have to post something about let us say course journal and go and review two or three peers who have uploaded their course journal now one way of doing it is seeing where course journal reviews are not available yet and replying back to the peer who has posted their discussion discussion in the forum now there needs to be so in a such a massive open online course there is always going to be it is always going to be chaotic to do the structuring as at the same time you have lot more participants and so one way of maintaining the structure is to practice self-regulation wherein you clearly do if one person does the self-regulation and somebody else follows you then overall the discussion forum will be more structured I would also request the associate faculty from who are engaging in the discussion forum and who are going to be the mentors to what do you say motivate their mentees to practice organization while responding in discussion forum so we will hopefully have more clear instructions about participation in discussion forum if the instructions are one problem due to which things are not clearly understood we will also take the help of associate faculty who are the community TAs in this particular course to ensure there is a structured manner in which discussion is happening one more question yeah my question is that we are compared to one activity with the word press okay and we are also watched videos of Drupal so is there any activity relating to the Drupal sir currently so okay so the question is are there activities related to Drupal apart from the assimilation quiz there are no activities for Drupal currently because Drupal makes it all the more confusing for first time users until and unless they are getting used to it you may find little difficulties on how to use Drupal but however let me tell you that Drupal is a fast emerging open source software that is becoming really powerful content management system with lot of functionalities like roles authentication and several new features so in the future versions of this FTP we may think of using Drupal instead of word press word press is a simpler version of open source website creation okay thank you sir yeah so let me now go to professor Patak who is joining us from DMS college good afternoon professor Patak good afternoon and good afternoon to all the participants I will just take five minutes to tell you that I am so happy to be at this place is one of the world's institutions in the country the BMS college has been our partner for for donkey's ears and most importantly it was one of the best institutions in terms of sending a very large number of top performers in the first FTP that we had conducted I had the privilege of meeting some of them along with their senior leadership when we had organized a workshop in Mumbai and I'm so happy to be here with my coordinator curiously he's from biotechnology field you can see a very large number of participants here I am told that there are some teachers who are from non-engineering or non-technical psychology so we have somebody from psychology do we have somebody who is teaching at 1112 standard I wish there were some more people or there are some wonderful uh so here is a very mixed group of people who are all wanting to benefit from use of technology for the students whom they will teach in diverse fields it is not just the diverse fields but the diverse ages as well my own ambition is that someday even the primary and middle school students should be using this technology and most certainly all working professionals should also use this to benefit themselves we are making a beginning as I keep saying you are going to be the pioneers of what future India education will look like and to that end I would like to compliment you I would take this opportunity to answer one question which was just asked about Drupal so while we do not have any explicit content in Drupal right now but we are doing something which you should all be happy to know that which is connected with Drupal all of you use IIT Bombay X now that's a platform which we run on a cloud all of you are totally familiar with it now our intention is that just like many colleges use Moodle we would like colleges also to use the same online platform so we are now developing what we call a hybrid distribution built on IIT Bombay X which can be installed on local servers in your colleges and you can actually offer online courses and blended or hybrid courses to your own students on the campus who do not have to depend on internet they will be able to access your servers using local area campus network and that distribution is being built in IIT Bombay as we speak which has at the core open edX and as the front end we are using Drupal so we will also be conducting an online or blended short course for technical staff members of various colleges if they are interested in using these and other technologies because one mistake that we have made always in our higher education and particularly technical education is that we have unnecessarily distinguished between teaching faculty and technical staff I got a glimpse of that just now my favorite axiom has been even in IIT that when we conduct laboratories and when students have problems it is not the so-called teaching staff like us who are able to solve their problems quickly but it is the technical staff which solve their problem in IIT Bombay we give a lot of respect to the technical staff they are also not called faculty because the faculty member has to have a PhD research publications etc but the point is in this game of using technology effectively for education we will need increasing participation by the technical staff and therefore it is absolutely important that we the conventional teaching faculty and our technical staff in respective colleges work in tandem work together so that the entire infrastructure that is made available for teaching learning processes works very well I digress slightly but the point I'm making is that this distribution which is of course open source distribution with contribution from IIT Bombay is comprising of open edX base comprising of what we call the MIS or information system and the hybrid addition that we have made to the platform plus the Drupal front-end will be released as a new IIT Bombay X avatar in January and simultaneously a loadable version which can be installed on your local servers will also be released each individual institution just like you modify Moodle today to put your own college name and other thing similarly you can take this installation customize it to represent your own institute and in future you would be able to run your own online courses first of course for the benefit of your own students but who knows once you're you have a good online course you can offer it on swam you can offer it to other people so that is where the technology directions are moving I once again thank a large number of participants here and my coordinator here in BMS college over to you yeah thank you professor Fatak so I hope the participants really are really understanding the vision of IIT Bombay in improving the teaching learning process across the country and the scale at which we are trying it so I would also at this moment thank all the associate faculty who are participating from the different remote centers and are assisting us the IIT Bombay team in this larger vision so I hope that many of you from the remote centers across the remote centers will join us as associate faculty when the new IIT Bombay X will come in January and where we will be having more such FDP programs so FDP 101X and FDP 21X will be continuing across the year wherein we may also try to do multiple FDPs at the same time based on the participation that we have in the courses so these are all larger visions and as professor Fatak rightly said all of you are the pioneers in this particular venture along and you are currently so even the participation from different teachers across the remote centers it is actually contributing towards this large effort and I again once again thank all of the people involved in this particular course and I also thank professor Fatak let me now take another question from the remote center this is from 1316 Dronacharya College of Engineering this is Dr Aditi, Dr Aditi Paul from Dronacharya College of Engineering, Greta Noida yeah from my participants there is a question that sir you started sessions some assignments were given from some sessions especially on a professional partner session right yes so here got some audio video problem during those sessions and participants are not able to answer those assignments okay my request or you can sit where is that can we have those videos again so please note that so the query is regarding the sessions the videos of sessions that were conducted yesterday many participants due to technical issues were not able to completely understand the session and there were some issues at some of the remote centers so what we have done is there is a YouTube channel for the studio team IIT Bombay X studio and this was actually shared in chat yesterday what I will do is I will at the end of this session I will share this studio channel link once again where you can actually go through the sessions at your own convenience and by tomorrow I will have the same uploaded in the IIT Bombay X system against each session so you can actually connect from directly use the IIT Bombay X course for accessing these videos let me now take some questions that have been coming up in the questions tab let me so the first query which has been up voted three times the query is initially from ME society's MCC Pune we have two queries do we have to upload the course journal and the website link of WordPress how do we effectively apply reflection sport and quiz activity using LMS for a class of size 60 let me answer the first question uploading the course journal as a file is not required at this moment we will be giving specific instruction to you wherein you can upload your course journal into your own WordPress site and you can share the link of your WordPress site in in the discussion forum as well as there is going to be a specific assignment in week four where we will actually look into website creation so there will be a user goal like what professor Sundar told yesterday there will be a user goal that we will be defining and we would be asking you to create upload materials that you have in this FTP to answer the user goal so I will now mark this as done so CDAC Noida has a question in the discussion forum how can one search for those specific questions that I would like to follow let us say I have already selected a question and follow it so all you have to do the question is about following in discussion forum you are following it and within the menu of discussion forum there is a row known as post I am following just click on post I am following and you will be able to see the post that you are that you have already marked as to the ones to follow in addition what you can also do is use the search window the search tab and if you know the words so it is not just the username if you know the username of the person who has posted or specific words in the question you can type it in the discussion forum and it will automatically fetch the discussion associated with that particular question so this is a question from Selvam College at time how many mentees and mentors can connect we are trying to ensure that all mentees and mentors can connect simultaneously this is approximately 40 to 50 mentees connecting to a single mentor it will take us some time to configure the group and put it up in the the view as it is a manual process but however we are positive that by the start of week four we will have all the mentor mentee groupings done and configured user IDs for all the participants okay there is another question again by Ronacharya College should we upload the video in the wordpress for week two assignment the answer is no this is a practice activity where you had to so the LBDs are ungraded activities that you have to do as practice only thing is you will have to embed videos which are not copyright protected and carefully select these videos from YouTube or other video sharing sites like Vimeo or other websites okay there is a question from Mangal Ehtan University how can we download Moodle downloading Moodle all you have to go to is the Moodle main site Moodle.org there is a section called downloads you can download the latest version of Moodle from the Moodle website Moodle.org so now let me take some questions from RC's so this is KIT College of Engineering Gurgaon Haryana RC 1209. Good afternoon sir Professor Parthak talked about academic ethics and integrity initial videos I want to know about more about that in context to online books. Okay so this is regarding academic ethics and integrity while doing online courses so this is almost similar as to a regular face-to-face classrooms plagiarism is strictly not allowed plagiarism as in you take materials from others without their prior consent or permission you should not copy from your friends and you should always acknowledge or cite the source from which you are taking the resources so proper citation has to be given and basically avoid plagiarism these are some of the major guidelines for maintaining academic ethics one more thing that you should do at your end is whenever you are creating a let us say a course journal or a website what you have to do is put these resources under creative commons so that other faculty or other let us say students of you can freely use these resources without worrying about copyright next is 1172 Theme College of Engineering. Sir actually sir sir this session was excellent okay but just sir please can we get a presentation sample which is related to any subject maybe computer engineering mechanical engineering or any subject so that we can get we can easily prepare a power point presentation for our specified subject maybe it may contain tables graphs and text can we get okay so the question are there available what you say existing materials regarding slides with good presentations for different subjects so one thing is you will so these are going to be created in a crowd sourcing manner so if you actually look at the WordPress sites of the mentors who are part of these who are part of this FTP you will see lot of resources being uploaded by the mentors so one possible way of looking at these resources is what you say looking at the mentors resources another thing is we will definitely try to create an activity where all of you will be creating one slide or a few slides within your domain adhering to the guideline presentation guidelines that Dr. Samir Sahasrabudde had given in the earlier session this activity will come in week five of this course let me now go to RC1058 Goa College of Engineering. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. I had actually two questions one was on one was on discussion form but already you answered that question regarding the course journal okay last week I had put my course journal in my website and I was a little scared whether it was seen by our peers who already gave the answer for that and second one is about regarding the mentor-mentee I mean interaction okay as the ministry is going on when you view the timing and if we are having class hours that time you say I mean last yesterday what we came to know is after that duration you are closing down that problem what you do okay so the so the question is regarding so the first if I am correct your first question has been answered right regarding course journal okay so this is the second question regarding AV interactions across different time slots so what we are planning is that we will have a longer time window available for a individual interaction you can log into the system let us say across a three hour time period and basically you will have to interact with your mentor at least once in the let us say in the coming nine to ten days or 14 days of the course the final two weeks of the course the exact modalities of interaction are going to be provided and if a view is not so we will keep the a view server up so it was only because the interaction finished at 5 around 445 yesterday that we had closed the a view presentation with the mentors what we will do is we will keep the class open for a longer period of time wherein you will be able to see the mentors in the a view classroom one two six nine my question is how to find my journal or idea in discussion forum so the query is how to find the course journal basically what you can do is you can give keywords like your name and course journal etc to identify the exact post where you have actually shared your course journal you can use the search tab and also select the post I am following menu in the discussion forum to clearly see your course journal let me now go to RC 1015 Vidya Pratishthan college we are having a good first learning the web okay do you so if I understand the query correctly you want to link some of the resources from another website to your current wordpress so just ensure that the resources that you have created in the other website are available in free and open or in creative commons before linking it if it is your own what you can do in addition is make sure that these becomes creative commons in the before linking it completely sir actually it is not that way but the request from my side that workshop coordinators can't access that material or whatever that quizzes are there so is it possible to give the access to the workshop coordinators so that can they can be involved as a participant also okay and second thing is that the participant performance is also not monitored we can see so we can have that monitoring also okay so the question is can there be mechanisms of monitoring participants performance by workshop coordinator and also second thing can the workshop coordinator have access to the resources in the fdp now the resources in the fdp are available in free and open source and you can actually get the links from your participants from your college regarding participation in the fdp please note that due to logistical issues that we had announced the final date then what do you say registered participants into the course across two to three weeks will not be able to give workshop coordinator access to the course as a participant however what you can actually do is the there are going to be upcoming series of fdps that we will start from January you can actually participate in any one of them and be the participant I belong to a management okay the question is not related to this particular fdp okay in general related to boundary whenever I am searching for management oriented programs few courses are there on the website which are management related like basics of accounting or management fundamentals economics and all but if we want to enroll for that one so that time the message comes that is the enrollment by invitation only okay we cannot register directly okay so are you talking about it bombay x courses or other courses in general it bombay on it bombay x website only okay these courses used to be there but that is I think interlinked with the edx and from imdx no so the thing is so all these are examples of different so edx is a different entity iot bombay x is a different online learning entity im banglorex is a complete a different entity only common thing is iot bombay x and im banglorex uses the same version of open edx and so each of each of the MOOC has their own rules of participation so for example in this particular fdp it was required that all participants register by a particular time in the NME ICT portal where they have to provide identity card proves of participation etc etc so only those people will be allowed to participate in these courses so the notification for this will come in NME ICT website so the website is it.itb.ac.in slash NME ICT where you can see workshop announcements as one of the tab so what you have to do is regularly do a follow up of this monitor this particular space and all new courses will be announced all the iot bombay x courses will be announced in this particular page okay let me now go to 1 2 5 6 3 Datta Institute of Engineering and Science sir very good afternoon myself i am Radhika and she is a engineering colleague so my question is about we are few faculties we didn't register so but we are very much interested to interact in this program but if we are not registered we can't do any assignments so is there any facility for unregistered people currently so that's what I said in the previous question currently unregistered participants we cannot have what do you say activities in iot bombay x or what you can actually get is the video the links of video from other participants to understand what the material is about and have a broad understanding of how the fdp is being carried out and one more question we would like to interact with Patek sir most we would like to know about fdp things by Patek sir okay so I will definitely put this to Professor Patek we are actually planning to visit several remote centers during the fdps after the fdp etc so I will definitely ask Professor Patek to mark your institution as one possible venue when he is actually traveling towards Hyderabad next time thank you sir yeah so let me now go to 1 2 2 8 Loyola iCam college of engineering and technology sir I have few questions so is there any criteria for course journal evaluation posted by participants my second question yeah please go on with the question yeah in future is there any possibility of where we can able to see the ABU interaction on our own system so there are two questions one is regarding the review criteria for course journal and the second is watching the ABU interaction in your own system so my answer to the first question is the criteria for review of course journal has been provided in that particular week itself where we had looked at three aspects of course journal how structured it is what is the level of reflection that is being posted by the participant in the course journal or please note that this is this is an ungraded activity currently we have not put we have not factored in the reviews that are coming to these course journals because there is going to be wide variation in the way your peer is assessing these course journal so today Dr. Samir Sahasrabudde gave you guidelines on peer review how to use a rubric and do the evaluation similarly the same rubrics were used in course journal as well basically you will have to follow the rubric criteria to evaluate the course journal your second question regarding ABU in a local system it is still available because it is as I told yesterday it is a free and open source software it is easily downloadable the only condition is that you should be able to connect to a server which can support the bandwidth that is being that is required for ABU interaction so your video so as I speak my video and audio are traveling through internet as data packets and it is reaching all the remote centers now if there aren't if there isn't sufficient data bandwidth then there is going to be issues at your end in watching this video and audio so this is typically what we call the losses in data packet so it is like you have a big pipe and you are actually trying to pull lot of material through that pipe and somewhere it gets stuck and it does not proceed correctly to the intended location this bandwidth is the essential requirement for viewing the audios and videos clearly and this is what we mentioned in today's morning's interaction that the audio video is not working then we will have to check the local institutions bandwidth and the facilities provided in the institution because ID Bombay is successfully transmitting the same video audio to many remote centers at the same time so places where there are issues then they will have to check the local bandwidth and the local infrastructure to see whether they are complying to the ABU standards. Yes sir one last question I have in a simulation assessment in case of a question which has more than a two or three options maybe one statement may be correct in case someone is going to correct only one statement as answer suppose the right answer may be two or three statements in case how we will grade such a question. So I think it has been mentioned in the assimilation I mean places where there are more than one answers are correct until and unless all the answers are identified by the participant the current IIT Bombay system will not accept that answer as correct so basically what I am saying is there is currently the multiple choice options or the checkbox options do not have partial answers so if and only if you make all the answers correct will you be able to get full points for it. Let me now move to center RC 1063. Yes sir hello sir good good afternoon myself Santosh Nagar Wajir from modern college College of Engineering Pune. So I would like to ask one question that you said or our third big activity we are having Moodle LMS. Yes. And also you are taking here all workshops activities on IIT Bombay which is based on EDX open EDX. So we know that open EDX and Moodle LMS that we can use that they are open source and freely available but the main problem is that if we want to use at our college level we have to buy very high end servers high end machines for that and we have to publish it online using government but unfortunately there are so many colleges nowadays that they are not able to or they are not ready to provide money or they are not ready to make investment in that infrastructure and like us teachers or our faculties are very much interested to use these new technologies for the good sake of our students. So I would like to ask with that is IIT Bombay is going to provide a portal on which we teacher can create our subdomains and we can create our own Moodle server or open EDX server for our students. Okay the question is can there be open EDX setup at our end which can be given access to other engineering college or other colleges. See SWIM is a portal so my quick answer is though it is possible but we have another portal called SWIM which has been inaugurated nationally and it is a national level portal where people can use that portal to host online I mean offer online courses. I will definitely speak to Professor Fatak regarding your request wherein teachers can use let us say IT Bombay X. Let me just add one simple thing where faculty can currently use IT Bombay X courses in a blended format or what we call hybrid format. So we have this particular offerings of courses to wherein each teacher can enroll their students in the MOOC and they will be able to monitor the students performance. These are called blended MOOCs or now we will be terming them as hybrid MOOCs. So once IIT the new version of IT Bombay X comes in we are hopeful that several such courses can be offered from our facility for which can benefit teachers and students equally. Let me now move to Shastra University 1140. Ramkumar. Yeah hi Ramkumar. According to the workshop. Okay. First of all I would like to give a kind of a big salute to IIT Bombay and the students for doing a kind of a fantastic inspiring job in fact the past few days in fact. So it's the kind of passion you exudes in this particular job is in fact really inspiring to all the faculty members who are sitting here and there are so many questions we have right now in fact every faculty member is interested in posing a question. I have identified the three numbers here and start with Professor Kesh Shaker will be posing the first question. This is one technical question in regard with Drupal. As such Drupal is one CMS content management system. Yes. Where we are having one number of our software components. Suppose we want to gauge each and every software component rather I like to say to gauge about the quality of service such as reliability. How to gauge is there any such software is available. Okay. So the question is about what is a reliability of the softwares is one thing. Can you ask the second question? Hello sir. Yeah hello ma'am. Hello. Sir how to create transcripts by full video. Is there is any tool or we have to try manually transcripts for the video. Okay. Transcripts for video. So if I am not mistaken you are asking about transcripts for video. Okay. Are there any other questions from the center? Yes sir. Completed our personal logs. There are no logs we have to do. So that is whether we can choose a theme or design the page whether that means any question is there. Okay. Okay. So themes can there be themes different themes possible. So there are three questions from Shastra University. Let me answer it one by one. So one is regarding yeah. Please post your question. Sir, I am talking manually. This is in English. I would say that we would like to extend our gratitude to the total few of IITs. Okay. And especially what that is for is COVID clarity coming there. Explanations and the clarity of thoughts. Okay. Definitely take them as role models sir. Okay ma'am. Thank you. And thank you for making the digital immigrants like us yes to get involved towards ICT. Thank you. Move on to the question. It is a general question. See if it is in a regular class when we come across a student when we find a student disinterested in the lesson you may switch on those switch over to some other topic of interest. Is it possible incorporating ICT in class? So there are four questions from Shastra University. I will answer them one by one. So the first question is regarding reliability software that can check the reliability. So there are performance testing softwares that actually look at various parameters of the software that needs to be tested. In fact, even for IIT Bombay X we do our performance testing at our end and see whether it can handle loads, whether it is reliable etc. at our end. So each it depends on the software that you want to test reliability. Those kind of softwares are available. You will have to check in the web for specifically for the software that you want to check reliability for. The second thing are there softwares for creating transcripts? Yes, there are some proprietary software is available. Another way is actually upload video into YouTube and create auto transcripts. Those YouTube by itself will generate a auto transcript which can be downloaded and you can correct what do you say? You can correct the specific portions where there are errors and you can re-upload the same transcript to YouTube. Regarding the question on themes of WordPress, yes, themes can be changed but some of the themes are paid. So there are certain free themes available in WordPress. One is bootstrap that was used. You will have to explore the themes menu from the dashboard and there was a final question. Use of ICT in classroom to make students interesting. The generic answer is yes, ICT can be easily integrated into the classroom. However, as a teacher what you have to be really careful is not just about the technology, the pedagogy that you are using along with the technology has to be carefully designed and so that user experience is positive through which they will continue using ICT. So technology integration by teachers is a very well researched area. If you actually look into journal databases like Scopus or let us say Google Scholar, you will see lot of papers on the idea of technology integration by teachers. So this is RC-1200, IES college Mathya Pradesh. Can you repeat the question? I heard some portions of it but I am not able to completely hear it. Okay, let me repeat the question and tell me whether I have heard it correct. You want to understand what are the implications of a ICT-enabled engineering curriculum, am I right? Okay, so see the vision that we have is that more teachers will use ICT in the coming days and use it effectively within let us say not just engineering curriculum. As Professor Fatak said, even in schools the facility will be provided for students and teachers alike where they can use ICT. So the vision of ICT-led curriculum is very solid. One important thing that you have to note while making any curriculum ICT-enabled is you have to be very careful about using the technology and its pedagogy effectively within the classroom. Otherwise what will happen is that you will not have the same effectiveness that you could actually get from the same ICT device. Let me now take a question from Professor Ram Mega Institute 1193. Sir in module, whether we can identify the student those who have appeared for the assignment test or quizzes? Okay, so the question is whether we can identify the specific students who have accessed an assignment or a quiz. Yes, every learning management system provides this feature of monitoring the performance of the student. It is an important part which differentiate a learning management system from a content management system. Let me now go to RC 1313, KS Rangasamy College. Regarding the discussion forum, we are not able to interact in the discussion forum since it is showing error from today morning itself. Okay, so the question is complete the reflection. Okay, so the question is people are unable to access discussion forum in IIT Bombay as of now. What we are going to do is we are going to extend the deadline of all the graded activities that were said to today to tomorrow midnight. And hopefully we will have the system up and running by tomorrow morning from after which you will be able to access it much more easily. Regarding wordpress, wordpress creation you said about WP admin accessing the dashboard. Okay. So instead of changing the themes and fonts in through the dashboard, we can even customize without going to the dashboard by accessing our site itself, right? Is it necessary to alter the themes and the fonts only through dashboard? Okay, so dashboard is one place where you can easily access it. So the moment you want to change the theme, dashboard is the place where you can do the management of the site, which what this is what we call site management that can be done from the dashboard. So for wordpress, the dashboard is in WP admin. Can you tell me how you will do without accessing the dashboard? While accessing our website itself, we come across the domains. So below the domains, there is a customized option. In the customized option, we are getting all those menus and pages where we can even choose our order of the pages. Rather than going to the admin, it is very easier in this way. Okay, so what you are seeing here are what we call templates, templates for the website. So there are ready made templates available, which will have multiple features. And you are actually seeing it. But if you want to create your own template, you still have to go to dashboard to create your own, what do you say, themes, font sizes, etc. So it is like when you open MS Word, all the font styles are already given in the document. So similarly, when you go to WordPress, there are specific templates available, which you can take and configure your website. From our site, sir. Yeah. Regarding that transfer, which you said that you have, we have to upload it to using YouTube. But we need to, we are required to do it only in WordPress, not with the help of YouTube. How it is possible to have the transcript of a video in WordPress itself? So, first of all, there is no requirement that the transcript has to be there in the video. So, we haven't started the video creation process. It will come in week four only. The current activity was to find a video from any of the file sharing sites and embed it in the WordPress. So it is not required that the video should have a transcript. Only thing is ensure that you write a little about the video and how it is, so it's just like a blog post. You have to create a post which is through which you will understand what the video is about. That's all. Okay. Let me now go to the next remote center. PSG College of Engineering, Coimbatore. We have two questions related to mentee-mentor interaction. Okay. My first question is, how do a mentee come to know the interaction schedule? My second question is, suppose a mentee missed the schedule, the interaction content can be accessed later. Okay. The question is regarding mentor-mentor interaction. So, what we'll do is we'll be publishing, IIT Bombay will be publishing the slots. So, since this is the first time we are trying out, this time around we'll be publishing the slots for interaction from our end. We'll be informing the mentors and mentees. Suppose that an interaction has not happened, at that point of time, we will look at other means through which the mentors can support the mentees. So, I'll be discussing this with Professor Fartek tomorrow and you will get a detailed email giving you guidelines regarding mentor-mentee interaction. So, one more general question. Yeah. As a participant of this FDP, everything, all our education are outcome based learning. Okay. As a participant, we would like to know the skill set or a skills after completing the course, what skill set we need to acquire after the completion of this course? Okay. The question is regarding the outcomes of the course. So, if you actually see the about the course document, the learning objectives of the course has already been given in the about the course. So, the first, that is the first document that you have to read before starting the course where we have clearly mentioned what is expected from the students, what are the broader objectives or outcomes of FDP 101x and also of FDP 201x? We know the outcomes as a participant what I or any participant should acquire the skills, whether our presentation skill or communication skill or everything says that any skill sets which is to be acquired after the completion of the course. So, basically the skill that you require at the end of FDP 101 is sensitization towards various ICT tools and it is effective use in teaching learning. And at the end of FDP 201, you will have how to use each tool effectively. So, the pedagogy is to be used effectively. So, the skill that you are actually looking at is the learning design skill of the teacher. Yes sir, we have one more question. Yeah. Good afternoon sir. This is Rajamogna from Pierce today. Yeah, tell me. I am requesting you to ask Professor Pathak to visit our campus sir because we are very eager to interact with him sir. Please convey this information to him. So, definitely yes I will convey the information to Prasafathak. As and when Prasafathak reaches Coimbatore or is passing through Coimbatore, I will ask him to make sure that he visits. I will ask him, I will request him to visit your institute once. Thank you. Simbiosis Institute RC 1190. Yes sir, I first of all thank you very much for conducting this FDP and this has really inspired me to go for my own course designing and delivering it. Is it possible to do it with IITBX? So, that is what you are actually doing. You are doing this FDP in IITBX itself. You are not using any other platform. My question is if I design my own course for my student, can I, there are many courses which are not available right now on IITBX which I suppose for on the economics there is no course, well on the research methodology there is no course available. So, if I design it, can I deliver it through the platform of IITBX? So, currently we have not, what do you say, a policy which says that other faculty can offer courses in IITBX, IIT BombayX. However, I will talk to Prasafathak because these are edu MOOCs or educational MOOCs where you want a particular course content to be visible to a larger audience. So, the modest upper-handy has to be clearly chalked out and see, Swyam portal is already available. So, we will have to see how this can be better operationalized. Definitely across the end of these two FDPs by December, we will have let us say more understanding of how this could be done through IIT BombayX. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. So, now RC1259. Sir, my question is regarding the current scenario of web crimes. So, we have created a very simple website, each of us have created. So, what about the security of these websites? Whether these websites can get easily hacked or misused? Okay. So, this is a tangential topic that each participant should be aware of. Yes, every website has its own associated security threats. So, you will have to look at the best practices to avoid let us say hacking by different agencies. There was a course in IIT Bombay offered by the computer science department on let us say, improving the security and on network security and cryptography. Do attend courses like these in MOOCs, as well as which are coming in QIP or CEP mode to understand more about security related issues related to websites. Currently, in the scope of this FDP, this is not exactly there. However, we will in the next version, we will definitely look at including these aspects as well. Currently, we are looking at only plagiarism aspect of it. We will definitely consider security related issues in the upcoming versions of the FDP.
