Introduction to FDP
From the introduction, I was able to understand the need for such a FDP for
teachers. As he rightly pointed that role of teachers are changing due to advent of digital
age. Traditional method takes lot of time in preparing and delivering. Since we are in era
of internet technology, knowledge can be also being accessed from other resources like
YouTube, online tutorials, Government sponsored education platforms, and so on. So
students need not depend only on class room lectures. The very purpose of first FDP is
to introduce the learners i.e., teachers to incorporate the latest technologies in their
teaching .So that learning will be hybrid –means combining both tradition method plus
technology. This will facilitate the maximization of learning of students. In current
scenario this hybridization is a needful to make the teaching environment live and joyful.
Practicing high standards of academic ethics during the conduct FDPs are
important. . The three important points or pillars of behavior that should be followed
throughout the conduct of FDP pointed by principal investigator namely
Having discussed about the need of such FDPs for teachers to use technology to
facilitate hybrid learning and concern about maintaining academic ethics now the
learning objectives; are identifying various ICT devices and applications , making best
use of them in teaching- learning and awareness towards ethical practices in
education.

LeD1.1:
In a physical class room, there are three basic elements-the learner, the content
and the teacher. The teacher here uses various tools to interact with learners and the
content.
Question Can you list the various interactions between these three components
in a physical class room?
Answer :
Further moving to online scenario the three elements remain the same .But now the
teacher becomes facilitator using all features available in learning platform.
So here,
Interaction with contents and students ---------- accessing the course materials,
by watching videos, solving problems.
4
Interaction with facilitator and learner and Interaction with learner and learner-----
through discussion forum.
Ask a question, pause the video, think and write the answer in the course journal. So
the main of reflection spots are to engage each and every participant to actively
participate in learning activity.
But video provides additional features like replay, pausing as required, volume
adjustment, speed adjustments
In a physical class room very few get the opportunity to raise questions and get
answers from the teacher.
In online class rooms every participant getting opportunity to answer the questions.

LeD 1.4: Learning extension resources
Using external resources to go further depth in the content already known using videos,
links, webpage, documents, research papers along with assimilation quizzes (graded
activity)
Answer: To check whether we have understood the main concept from the content or
resources.

What is internet?
Reflection spot: Do you know what Internet is? Do you know how it works?
The Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of
computer networks - a network of networks in which users at any one computer can, if
they have permission, get information from any other com
Data travels across the internet in packets. Each packet can carry a maximum of
1,500 bytes. Around these packets is a wrapper with a header and footer. The
information contained in the wrapper tells computers what kind of data is in the packet,
how it fits together with other data, where the data came from and the data's final
destination.

used by others, particularly our students. Some of them could be our curriculum vitae,
or be topics, publications.
Websites can be broadly classified as simple and multifunctional. Simple
websites are something like which have just a few pages and a very simple menu, it
could also have periodic pages which are also known as blogs. On the other hand,
multifunctional websites are pages with much deeper structured content. For example,
list of publications, each publication has got multiple fields like the title, author, journal,
year etc. called as a structure to content. A more complex example would be
department websites. A still complex website is what can be a conference website
where there is not only information passed on but there is also an interaction from the
user. So these are what are called as a multifunctional website, so there are simple
website and multifunctional website. So use Word press for simple websites and Drupal
for multifunctional websites. Both of them are open source and are freely available.

by clicking on customize in the right bottom here and we can change the title, colors,
fonts, header image, menus, widgets and how our front page must appear.

This dashboard gives lot of statistics here and lot of links here with which can
take action on website. This interface allows you much more complicated interactions
with the website.
So this is the administrative dashboard. So posts can be managed using control
panel. We can do a similar thing for pages as well. There is edit, quick edit, delete, filter
and search to filter.

Reflection Spot
Assume that you are planning to create a slide with your subject content and
uploaded it to your WordPress website. You are creating this as an open educational
resource (OER) so that everyone can access and use it. What visual parameters will
you take care of during your slide design so that your website visitors find it easier to
understand?
Visual presentation 2
Reflection Spot
Given that you know how to design visuals from the previous learning dialogue,
what do you think are the considerations you have to make when using fonts and colors
in slide design? How many font types, font sizes and colours will you use in the design
of your slides?
Maximum I would choose two fonts one for main heading and another for body
There Font sizes. One main heading, another for side heading and last for body
of the text
One colour for background preferably white, black colour for text and another
colour for bullets to make my slides impressive.

When sharing our resources to other people through the Internet or when we use
readymade contents from the Internet, we always have to think of licenses. That is, the
owner of the content and the way we can use such contents. Creative Commons (CC)
is one way that offers public license that allows you to set the way you want other
people to use your content (open educational resources) and how the already available
contents can be used by others.
How to create spoken tutorials? Prof. Kannan Moudgalya explains how Spoken Tutorial
Project at IIT Bombay utilizes the video creation process.

Screencast-o-matic,Techsmith (for Windows and OSX),Techsmith Camstatia (for
Windows),Quicktime (for OSX) are popularly used non-GPL softwares
Multimedia Principles
The three multimedia principles discussed are
Redundancy principle which says people learn deeply from graphics and
narration than from graphics, narration and on –screen text.
Coherence principle which says people learn deeply from a multimedia message
when extraneous material are excluded
Spatial contiguity principle is which says people learn deeply from a multimedia
message when corresponding words and pictures are placed near than far away
from the page.
One advantage of the process of peer review for both the reviewer and the reviewee is
that the reviewer gets a very clear idea about the concept
This LeD explains the process of peer review in an online course offered in a learning
platform like IITBombayX Every peer review process goes through four phases.
15
Review phase Learner will be allotted with a submission of another to learner in
his peer group.review.Initially a sample training will be provided for us so as how
to review the submission based on a given criteria which has been set by the
course facilitator in the platform, to help you in the learning the facilitator will also
provide an example submission in the platform. Then the actual review will be
resuming.
Consolidation phase. In this, the system will retrieve all the reviewed submissions
and show it back to the corresponding learner.
More in depth insight about the four phases on peer view carried out in
IITBombayX platform is discussed with an example.
