for 500 colleges other than IITs and NITs
Focus initially on TEQUIP colleges (1.2 and 1.1)
Direct to Student Program
Teacher training Program
Regulatory and Policy Reforms

Pilot for 100 college from January 2013
an application through the web-site:
http://pilot.edureform.iitm.ac.in
website has information on the program +
infrastructural requirements for participation


DIRECT TO STUDENTS
Pilot Program for 100 colleges
Live Classes
Tutorials
Virtual Labs
MOOCs
Vocational augmentation Courses

Live Classes
Live Class by a highly rated* IIT professor
15 classes of a regular curriculum course
Rest of the course by a local faculty
Delivered live to classrooms in 100 colleges (course-faculty
to be present along with students)
Some interaction between students and faculty
Satellite + Broadband ensures high quality video/ audio
Features like whiteboard, document / screen sharing, questions
etc. for interaction
assisted by 2-3 TAs for efficient response to questions

*selected from IITM, IITB, IITK and IITD faculty based on consistent highest student rating over
three consecutive years
Courses Planned for Live Classes
Discussions with teachers in-process to finalize course content and schedule
Course content will be planned keeping in mind acceptability to all colleges / students

e-Tutorials
Introductory Course on Computer
Programming
Remote Tutor facilitates problem solving /lab for a
small group (20-30 students)
conducts the session at scheduled-time using features
like video chat, video sync, white board, document /
screen sharing
90 minute session per week
Assuming a tutor spends 6 hours a week, need about 50
tutors (senior student + industry persons) for 100 colleges





e-LABS
3 to 4 e-Labs providing a near real lab experience
Associated with each lab, there may be
Live lectures
e-book*: lab instruction consisting of
introduction to concept (text and video)
Instructions (text and video)
pre and post quiz
Live remote support using e-tutorials framework by lab-tutors

DSP Programming Lab (IITM)
Heat Transfer and Thermodynamics
Analog Circuits Lab
Mass Transfer Lab
A lab-tutor can handle 5 colleges simultaneously per session
10 lab-tutors for 100 colleges if tutor to handle two sessions

*e-books: text and multimedia interactive content woven together along with
Features like notes, references and translate, forum, chat






Vocational Augmentation Courses
Introduction to Embedded Systems using
Robotics
Secure, Managed, Wifi Networking

Both courses by IITM
Conducted using
Live classes
e-book based instruction manual
Live Remote support from instructors using e-tutorial
2 students trained in person to be facilitators at each college






MOOC
Three MOOC Courses
One by MIT
One by Microsoft Research Labs, Bangalore
