  1. Distance Education Program Kanwal Rekhi School of Information Technology Indian Institute of Technology Bombay Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  2. Towards Quality Engineering Education 14th December 2005 Prof. M. U. Deshpande Professor Kanwal Rekhi School of Information Technology Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  3. Objectives of DEP • Reaching participants across the country • Simulating traditional classroom environment with live interaction • Providing a cost-effective and scalable solution Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  4. DEP Features • Dissemination of expert IIT knowledge • Concept centered post graduate courses for Teachers and Industry Professionals • Synchronous broadcast of lectures to all centers • Live classroom interaction • Classes/Transmission in mornings and evenings (outside working hours) to suit target user group. Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  5. Quality Features of Post Graduate Education Development of Critical Thinking Faculty Knowledge for Development • Acquire - Awareness • Absorb - Comprehension - Competency • Apply - Mastery • Disseminate - Expertise Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  6. Pedagogical Aspects - 1 Higher Technical Education at advance levels characterized by • Rigor: Consistent internal logic of theory, assumptions, principles, laws to deductive process • Metaphor: Relation to real/known experience/generalizing from specific cases as inductive process Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  7. Pedagogical Aspects - 2 Critical Thinking: Rational response to complex situations All data not available/no single clear-cut answers Justification by integration of known parameters processes assumptions. Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  8. Technology In Education - 1 • Learning: Comprehension - Motivation/Desire/Pre requisite Recall - Recognize/Connection to previous experience Creative Thinking - Organization, Elaboration, Exploration of unknown Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  9. Technology In Education - 2 Technology – Aid to comprehension Aid to recall Enable teacher to aid presentation Assist student to explore/recall/reflect Better relevance, Effectiveness, Efficiency Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  10. GenesisTechnology Enabled PG courses in Information Technology In late 90’s, major paradigm changes • Bursting of software bubble/shifts • Down turn in world economy • IT industry professional-retraining • Huge increase in IT courses/colleges and demand for IT teachers. Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  11. IT Learning Needs Scenario For Industry Professionals: Intelligent networks, Mobile computing, Embedded Systems For IT Teachers: Distributed systems, Digital Signal Processing, Foundation Algorithm These are high end “Know why” courses Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  12. Learner Group Background Industry Professionals & Teachers: From all Engg. Disciplines(CS/EE shortage) Varied work experience in industry Fresh graduates from all branches as IT teachers Industry professionals in metro, major cities College teachers in small/remote towns Normal face to face PG course 20 students. Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  13. Why IIT’s Courses IIT Faculty’s Engagement In Research • Trends and Directions In Consultancy • Ground level problems In Hardware/Software Product Development - Business Incubators Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  14. Curriculum Objectives • Courses pegged at “Know Why” • Course work reflects and integrates real life situation • Apply learner’s prior learning • Meaning to studies through incisive assignments, tests and exams Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  15. Why SatelliteINSAT – 3A, KU - BAND • Proven technology 10,000 VSATS working in Industry, ATM, Banks, Stock Exchanges • Optimum use of Bandwidth in IP Multicast • Can reach remotest regions • VSAT network professionally managed by HCL Comnet Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  16. VSAT Vs. Leased Line • VSAT • Footprint across the country • High initial investment ~20L • High reliability – Uptime of 99.5% • No recurring b/w costs • Leased Line • Option available only at areas with an existing VSAT hub • Low initial investment ~6L • Dependant on the Local Hub • Recurring b/w costs Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  17. Multicast VSAT Set up at IITB Control VSAT Agilis Up/Down Converter AUPC Gilat IDU Viasat chassis Cisco Router SH PC SHPC Mic MC8003 Studio PC Avaya Switch Studio PC MC8003 RC PC Camera Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  18. Set up at Remote Centre Multicast VSAT Control VSAT Agilis Up/Down Converter AUPC Gilat IDU Viasat chassis Cisco Router Avaya Switch RC PC Projector Screen PC Vigo Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  19. Leased Line Remote Centre Setup IITB Router Hub MC8003 Modem MTNL ISDN Backup RC-1 Vigo Router Modem Hub Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  20. VSAT Deployment Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  21. Options for Participation • CEP certification courses • PGDIIT in IT • CEP/DEP short term courses • “Teach only” mode Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  22. Fall 2005 (July-November 2005) Courses offered Computer Networks Network Security Digital Signal Processing / wavelets Advanced Programming in C++ Corporate Strategy Mobile Computing Entrepreneurship Systems Analysis & Design Digital Control IT Project Management Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  23. KReSIT, IIT Bombay CDAC, Navi Mumbai SGSITS, Indore VNIT, Nagpur MGM, Nanded STES, Pune MBT, Mumbai MBT, Pune M.J.College, Jalgaon Goa University, Goa Persistent Systems Pvt. Ltd., Pune Nirma Institute of Technoogy, Ahmedabad Veeramata Jijabai Technological Institute, Mumbai Current Remote Centers Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  24. Economic Model • Working Professionals • Credit: Rs.10,000 Non Credit : Rs.7,000 • Regular Students and Teachers • Credit: Rs.6,000 Non Credit : Rs.4,000 • Revenue Sharing • IITB: Remote Center – 60% : 40% Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  25. Economic Model [for remote center] • Four to six courses per semester • Eight to twelve courses per year • 50 to 500 registrations • Mixed constitutions (Credit, Audit, …) • For 100 Registrations @ Rs 5000 • 40% share is Rs. 2,00,000 per year Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  26. DEP- Growth line Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  27. To Conclude:IT Enhancement Focus • On teacher in class • Through digital imaging support • On access to individual student • For knowledge/data bases, case study archives • Faculty web pages, recorded lectures • On delivery channels for duplicating • Group learning experience with full interactivity Prof.M.U.Deshpande KReSIT, IITB

  28. To Conclude:IT Enhancement Focus (Contd.) • On Benefits to Institutes • Faculty and senior students get advanced level lectures and benchmark teaching style • Courses can be treated as additional “electives” • Some relief to teacher shortage problem • High level courses for Research background for PhD aspirants • Industry participants to courses can aid on campus activities.
