Course Journal - Week 1 - FDP101x

Abstract:

The purpose of this course journal is to share my views about the pedagogic adoptions and other moudels of the course “FDP101X” which is organized and conducted by IITBOMBAYX. This is an online course which is useful for all faculties from varying fields. The course journal for Week – 1 is created by using the reflection spots of the course. The course journals are created by contents learned by me.

Introduction

In the Course Journal - Week 1 - FDP101x, the views about the physical class room to online classroom, Pedagogic Adaption 1: Learning Dialogues, Pedagogic Adaption 2: Learning by doing activities, Pedagogic Adaption 3: Learning extension resources, Pedagogic Adaption 4: Learning experience interaction and Resource creation - Reflection spot are presented.

From physical classroom to online classroom: LED 1.1

Physical class rooms have three components like Teacher, Leaner and Content. In online class room teacher is replaced by the facilitator.

Examples of interaction between three compnents:

1. Leaner- teacher interaction

Student may ask questions to clear his/her dought .

2. Teacher- Leaner interaction

Teacher may ask the students

▪ to answer questions in current lecture

▪ to get basics, matters from their acquired knowledge related to the current lecture

▪ to solve the given problems

3. Teacher - content interaction

▪ ppt preparation

▪ Slide show preparation

▪ etc

4. Leaner – content interaction

Problem solving

5. Leaner – leaner interaction

Group discussion

Pedagogic Adaption 1: Learning Dialogues LED 1.2

What is the equivalent of instructor videos in a physical classroom?

▪ The equivalent of instructor videos in a physical classroom: teacher’s lectures and teacher- learner interaction

What additional features does the video provide in an online setting?

▪ More précised lecture or explanation in respective topic.

▪ No wastage or excess use of time in delivering the information.

▪ More rewiew possible in leaners’ point of view.

Pedagogic Adaption 2: Learning by doing activities LED 1.3

What is the advantage of answering after immediately watching the video?

▪ Advnatage of answering after immediately watching the video:

▪ Immediate recalling , review of the contents learned.

▪ More attention, concentration in watching and learning the video

Pedagogic Adaption 3: Learning extension resources: LED 1.4

What is the function of assimilation quizzes?

▪ The function of assimilation quizzes is to grasp the absorption ability of the leaner in reading and understanding the contents of the resources.

Pedagogic Adaption 4: Learning experience interaction: LED 1.5

Can you think of advantages of having such structured group discussion like the one which I explained right now?

▪ Learners will get more understanding, knowledge, self-thinking about the question and also have sharing of views in a disciplined way.

Resourse creation 1: Course Journal

Reflection spot:

It is a tool to reinforce the concepts strongly.

Write one advantage of maintaining the “course Journal”

▪ Answering the reflection spot question (Course journal) causes the immediate thinking and recollection of concern activity.

▪ Increase the interest and involvement in the course.

▪ Avoid being sluggish.

Course Journal - Week 2 - FDP101x

Web presence of teachers

Internet:

Internet is a huge network which consists of billions of network connections where billions of people can do a lot on online. Wires are the fundamental thinks of the network. Set of protocols allow the machines to work together on inter net.

Working of Internet:

The world’s largest network of computers is the internet. In home we may have a small network with wires. While using internet our device is part of the internet. Internet cables in the ground form a small network. These small networks are connect with large networks, all over world with wires to send information. The information on internet is 0 and 1 combinations called the traffic. We can check a web page, send and receive messages, listen to music, watch movie, create a site, etc. Servers contains the knowing’s of computers. Large computers of servers talk witheach other. Computer in one place can understand computer in any place by its address. Every appliance on internet has address. The computer has IP address, examples: 84.218.230.124, 91.26.36.46. Address in letters is called Domain name, these are the address of severs; 250 domains are in the world. .se is the top level domain of Sweedan. There are 300 top level domain names.

web pages, websites, web servers, and search engines.

Web browser:

It is a program on computer which allows us to manage files, programs and to visit website.

Web page:

A document which can be displayed in a web browser (Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explore…)

Website:

A collection of web pages

Web server:

A computer that hosts a website on the Internet.

Search engine:

A website that helps to find other web pages, such as Google, Bing, or Yahoo….

Teaching Portfolio:

It is a tool to document scholarly work in teaching. Different types of portfolios are

• course portfolio

includes information specific to a particular course

• professional (scholarly) portfolio

a collection of documents

include all work as a scholar, teaching experience, academic service

• teaching portfolio

documents multiple aspects of one’s teaching ability

Two basic formats of teaching portfolio are Summative portfolios and Formative portfolios. Summative is for academic job purpose and Formative is for the purpose of personal and professional development.

Effective Portfolio – Characteristics:

A portfolio should be structured, representative, and selective.

Key Functions of a Teaching Portfolio:

• Collect evidence of teaching ability

• Context for teaching

• Summary data teaching in a simple, readable format

• Focus on quality, not quantity

• Organized and its various sections relate to each other

• An ever–changing, living document

• Allows for self-reflection

• Provides an opportunity to be unique

• showcase your personal style of teaching

• The process of creating one is generally much more important

Source of the above is UCAT

With the knowledge about internet, browser, web presence, portfolio etc, a simple teaching portfolio can be created using Word Press.

Word Press:

Word Press is a free and open-source content management system (CMS).  It is

an easy tool for website creation. Default contents of word press are pages,

blog.

Page: generic, static web-page; nothing time bound to it: could be appeared in the front page or in the menu items and so on ; Can have tables, lists, images, attachment. 

Blog: short form for web-log, commentary, collection of pictures, any other review, so on. It is a time bound release. It is categorised by the date of release and keywords.

A simple blog and a simple page can be created. Additional features categorise blog, control visibility can be added to a blog. In pages slug is a text which comes in our URL. By default Word Press picks up slug text from our title. It cuts down unnecessary text. Usually we allow comments only for blog post not for pages.

Theme: theme determines the overall layout and design of your site.

Widget:

• fancy word for tools or content

• added, arranged and removed

• Widgets make it easy to customize the content of sidebar(s)

Control panel : Allows to manage the word press site like blogs, media, pages comments and other site level actions.

Advanced Configuration in Wordpress:

It deals with few configurations which are not there in the default Profile and can be done through the dashboard. Advanced features like media, pdf or powerpoint files can be added to the web page. To add advanced features, navigate to the page where it has to be added and select add media. Upon selecting add media, media library option will open. Media library is repository in which Word press stores all the uploaded files. Select the media to be added and drag and drop on the page. By insert option the media is uploaded on the corresponding page. Upon publishing the page, any user can see the media on the website. If website is multi-page then user may find it difficult to locate any media. Menu is the solution to this users’ difficulty. Menu navigates users from home page to different pages of the website. Menu is present in the dashboard control panel under appearance link. Menu contains list of various pages also known as current menu structure. We can add new pages to this current menu structure and save it. Reordering of current menu structure is possible.

Drupal:

It is an open source, free Content Management‎ System for multifunctional websites; All the content is contained in the drupal database. It helps in updating content dynamically, keeps sites safe and secure; Thousands of modules are available to add features, themes, data, etc. Drupal supports 3% of the entire web and 15 % of the top 10,000 websites.

Course Journal Week - 3

Lab assignment : 1

In the inaugural session on 18-08-2017, Prof. Phatak provided an important thrust area how teaching is changing. Regarding paradigm shift happening in teaching-learning within 21st century he mentioned that “teaching-learning will Shift from Teacher-centric to Learner-centric and teachers will change to facilitators ” . Prof. Phatak also mentioned about the philosophy that must be imbibed by teachers and pointed out a principle that he follows from his own teacher Prof. Issac.: “The mythical 25th hour”. Prof. Phatak identified the "costliest investment" in education as “Meeting synchronously (either face-to-face or electronically)”. It is noticed that a pdf put in creative commons and uploaded in his/her own website  is an open educational resource. Prof. Sunthar compared the known “Letters in alphabet”.

Lab assignment: 2

I have interacted with more than 10 new peers  at the remote centre. It is experienced that the goal of asking every participant to attend the synchronous interactions from remote centre is : To make the participant, 1. to actively engage in the sessions by doing the prescribed activities; 2. To interact with their peers and exchange their knowledge and reflections. The active learning strategy utilized by Dr. Sameer Sahasrabudhe in his session on18-08-2017 is “Think – Pair – Share”. The maximum number fonts recommended in the typography guidelines explained by Dr. Sahasrabudhe is 2. It is noted that “White text on black background” combination will adhere to colour guidelines that Dr. Sahasrabudhe explained on 18-08-2017.

• Can you identify the pedagogic feature that has been used in the animation video on Forum Etiquettes?

Learning by Doing Activities is the pedagogic feature that has been used in the animation video on Forum Etiquettes.

• What is one new thing that you learnt about discussion forum etiquettes? One new thing that you learnt about discussion forum etiquettes is the Rules which govern the Forum Etiquettes; the rules of etiquette that apply when communicating over computer networks, especially the Internet (Ref: Internet)

Interacted with:

1. Netiquettes - Vinolia Anandan

For Q1 - Same as the reply of mine. In future our discussion may be in detail to justy our dicussion

For Q2 - Granny Test is given by her. It differs from my view. I have noted only rules of discussion forum etiquettes as the new one. In our FDP10X we have quiz, assignments, etc as LbD.

2.  Forum Etiquette ( by Yashasvini)

For Q1 - Learning by doing activity and reflection spots are given. My view is that “Learning by doing activity” alone is the answer.

For Q2 - New thing learned is the granny test. Since the “Use of granny test” is one of the rules of Forum Etiquette, I have given the rules itself as the new thing learned.

3. Dasarivijayalakshmi

For Q1 – Same as the response of me.

For Q2 – Not yet discussed.

For better discussion, justification of the post may be posted; All the part of the discussion for a particular title may be posted at a time. Clear Title may be given as said by FDP101X.

Topic 10

Moodle is online learning management system which mostly deals with all matters

regarding a Teacher goes through it for entire one batch.

Email task

(1) Please send an email to your induction mentor.

Attach the dress code PDF you downloaded.

CC it to Jeffrey and BCC it to Anna.

(2) In this assignment, explain what CC and BCC mean. Explain why it is important to know about file size limits when attaching files to email.

CC and BCC Explanation:

CC: Mail was a store-and-forward LAN-based email system originally developed on Microsoft's MS-DOS platform by Concentric Systems, Inc. in the 1980s (From Wikipedia). (Shiva Suri, avid Quoran, Source: ...) In e-mail terminology, Cc stands for "carbon copy" and Bcc stands for "Blind carbon copy". The difference between Cc and Bcc is that carbon copy (CC) recipients are visible to all other recipients whereas those who are BCCed are not visible to anyone. To specify the recipients, an e-mail message can contain addresses in any of the 3 following fields:

To: field recipients are the audience of the message

CC: field recipients are others whom the author wishes to publicly inform of the message (carbon copy)

BCC: field recipients are those being discreetly or surreptitiously informed of the communication and cannot be seen by any of the other addressees.

It is common practice to use the BCC: field when addressing a very long list of recipients, or a list of recipients that should not (necessarily) know each other, e.g. in mailing lists.

Explanation for the file size limits when attaching files to email:

why it is important to know about file size limits when attaching files to email.?

(Promoted by HT Media - Monica Dawson computer technician at )

Mainly for security reasons, all email server providers limit the maximum email size that an email account can receive. Otherwise, if there would be no maximum email size limit, the email server would risk to be bombarded with very large emails, causing it to cease working properly.

Some free email address providers also enforce commercial limitations on the email size: the free account gets a low maximum email size limit, but we can increase the maximum limit by upgrading to a paid account. So, to send large email files we can refer to ...

Obviously, if we send an email that exceeds the maximum email size limit of the recipient’s email provider, our email will bounce off and we will receive an email error back in our mailbox. Usually, we will receive one of the following error messages:

• “Attachment size exceeds the allowable limit”;

• “552: Message size exceeds maximum permitted”;

• “System Undeliverable, message size exceeds outgoing message size limit”;

• “The size of the message you are trying to send exceeds the global size limit of the server. The message was not sent; reduce the message size and try again”.

Some examples of Email provider and the maximum Email size are given below.

• Gmail : 25 Mb per mail send/receive

• Yhoo Mail: 25 Mb per mail or unlimited for files via Dropbox – limited by Dropbox size.

• Microsoft account/Hotmail: 10 Mb per file attachment or 300 Gb for files via skyDriv.

Module: Editing Sections in A Course

In the video “Editing Sections in A Course” I have seen, how the courses are arranged in IIT Bombay Moodle.

Module: Resource  creation and Peer Review

Need and significance of Peer Revie:

Peer Review:

• common practice for building quality resources

• extensively used in: Scientific publications, Large crowd sourcing efforts, Example: Wikipedia.

Peer review practices:

• Provide clear instruction to students on what has to be done during peer review

• Explain in detail the criteria for reviewing

• Provide training to students to do a peer review

• Asking students to provide detailed comments while reviewing

Advantage of peer review for the reviewer:

• Helps in constructing good feedback

• gets more clarity about the various criteria for good submission

Advantage of peer review for the reviewee:

• To get feedback from multiple people about quality of their submission.

Peer review process:

• Four phases

• Submission phase

• Allocation phase

• Review phase

• Consolidation phase.

Example: Peer review of an essay between 3 Learners.

Facilitator sets

• question

• criteria for peer review

• Example submission

• Example review

 Submission phase:

• Learners write essays based on questions and submit it before due date.

Allocation phase:

• Randomize submissions

• assign to learners

Review phase:

• Train reviewer (Leaner) about how to review

• System uses example submission and criteria for peer review

• Reviewers submit example review

• If their review not matched with facilitator, reviewer must do the review again

• Above will continue until the review is perfectly matched

• To ensure greater accuracy (facilitators) give more example submission

• Actual submissions randomly assigned for review

• Finally actual submission is reviewed

• Final review is submitted back to system

Example of Peer Review process in the IITBombayX learning platform

Your Response (Submission phase):

• Submition of answer to a question

Allocation phase:

• Will start automatically with more than 1 submission

Learn to Assess Responses:

• Provides example submission put by course facilitator

• Number of examples to be reviewed is given above the question frame

• Example submission, to be reviewed, is just below the question frame

• Criteria for review is described below the example submission

• Each criteria has multiple scoring options, like Poor, Fair, Exemplary etc

• Leaners (every one) are trained to peer review process

Assess peers (Review phase):

• Will start after due date

• Every one will review a submission of another learner

• Random submission - allocation is used

• Same criteria as seen in the training is used

• Give feedback of scoring - option selected

Consolidation phase:

• Done after due date of review phase

Every one will get own submission back with reviews by peers

Reviews visible under the section "Your Grade”

Feedback about entire review process to the course facilitator
