  1. Learning by Doing (LBD) based Course Content Development (in Areas of CS and ECE) International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad , India

  2. Agenda • Methodology • Previous Experience • Objective • Time bound outcomes and deliverables • Budget • Resources

  3. The opportunity • A lecture may not sustain full interest of a student • The same holds true for a recorded lecture • This is perhaps because not all students are involved • How do we make the student get involved?

  4. A solution • Students need to get involved • Problem centric approach • Carefully chosen problems • Covering all aspects • Lectures are not at the center • But are provided as resources

  5. Problem Centric Approach • Develop a realistic story • Have the students work on “tasks” • Work as teams to produce work products • Personalized lectures

  6. Curriculum Development • Identify skills required and map to tasks

  7. Curriculum Development • For each task, produce • Task description • List and description of deliverables • Resources – video lectures, PPTs, Just in Time (JIT) lectures • Program website

  8. Learning by Doing explained …

  9. The Gaps • Insufficient Faculty • Heterogeneous student population • Different innate abilities • Different backgrounds • Different learning velocities • Different ambitions … • Provide expert video lectures • Task Levels and Types • JIT • Self paced • Higher level courses faster … on fast track

  10. Designing content for … • Spanning a heterogeneous audience enabling a wider reach • Product usability and ensuring use • Better appreciation of different concepts using appropriate pedagogical approaches • Virus – simulation based • Scalable and efficient delivery (mentor model) • Involvement of all stakeholders • Adaptability – to create enhancements for course

  11. Previous Experience

  12. Master of Science in IT (MSIT) • Started in 2001 • Post Graduate course (2 years) • 770 students trained so far • Specializations offered • Language technologies • Software engineering • E-commerce • Computer Networks

  13. Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT) • Started in 2008 • Integrated course (plus 2 and engineering) • Intake of 6000 students each year • Located in three campuses • After 6 years, the strength of RGUKT will be 36,000 • Entire program is based on LBD methodology

  14. EnhanceEdu • Started in 2008 • Department of IT (DIT) funded project • 150 faculty members from engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh trained as mentors using LBD content • Began support for implementation • In three years, 12000 students will be trained each year in LBD methodology

  15. Our Objective

  16. Objective • Use the learning by doing methodology to • develop content for core and advanced courses in CS and ECE • validate it by reaching out to colleges and industry • enhance it by conducting workshops for expert feedback

  17. Proposal • Courses proposed to be developed (Level 1, 2, 3) • Digital Logic and Processors • Data Structures • Computer System Organization • Algorithms • Operating Systems • Graphics • Formal Methods • Basic Electronic Circuits • Signals and Systems • Communication Theory • Computation Theory • Artificial Intelligence • Principles of Programming • Numerical Techniques and Optimization • Principles of Information Security • Distributed Systems • Database Systems • Computer and Communication Networks • Compilers • Software Engineering Develop 10 courses from the proposed list

  18. Content Creation Cost estimation • Course content creation using learning by doing methodology Rs.10 lakhs per course

  19. Content Designed… Are we done? No!

  20. Creation & Delivery Framework

  21. Teacher Training and Delivery • Cost for teacher training program and implementation at the colleges Rs. 10 lakhs per course

  22. Manpower • Resources needed • Subject matter experts • Content Development Team • Senior Content Developers • Animation team • Content developers

  23. Pilot Phase • By December 2010 • Develop content for 3 courses • Provide training to teachers • Support in implementation at colleges

  24. Budget for Pilot Phase

  25. Phase II • By May 2012 • Develop content for 7 more courses • Provide training to teachers • Support in implementation at colleges

  26. Budget for Phase II

  27. Project Budget

  28. Deliverables

  29. Resources • IIIT-H faculty • Center for Education Technology and Learning Sciences (CETLS), IIIT-H • Invited subject experts

  30. This is just the beginning…

  31. Towards a Comprehensive Learning Environment for Adaptivity and Research (CLEAR) Collaborate Collaborate Collaborate Collaborate Collaborate

  32. Model features • Model has ability to provide • Scalability • Self-sustainability … after a period of 3 years at the college • Designed for success • Success defined by … … the students’ use of the content and deriving value • Eases the learning process for every student • Adaptivity – Personalization and Customization • Selection from available “buffet” of courses
