3. MHRD’s QEEE Committee for 500 engineering colleges • Quality Enhancement in Engineering Education 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

4. Pilot Program for 100 colleges Direct To Students

5. Live Classes • Tutorials • Virtual Labs • MOOCs • Vocational augmentation Courses

6. 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

7. Courses Planned for Live Classes

8. 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

9. 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

10. 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

11. MOOC • Three MOOC Courses • One by MIT • One by Microsoft Research Labs, Bangalore • One by IITM
