Examples:
contemporary real life examples that the student
can relate to and understand the concept being
explained better.
Tasks:
The student is introduced to certain tasks which
may involve some activity or internet search etc
. e.g. Search the internet to learn more about
Param, India's super computer; search the newspapers
to understand the latest configuration of desk
top and laptop computers being marketed.
Cautions:
Certain aspects that the student needs
to be aware of to ensure that no untoward incident
occurs or wrong learning input is acquired, e.g.
ensure that the computer is disconnected from
the mains lines before opening up the cabinet.
Notes:
Several salient features and notes need
to be added which will add value to the learning,
e.g. "Did you know that India has its very own
super computer developed indigenously called the
Param".
Graphical representations,
animations, figures, pictures etc.
The text matter will have as many pictorial
representations and graphics as possible. Some
concepts may need animations to explain the concept
better. This animation flow has to be described.
There will be a voice over for all such animations
that will explain the animation in detail. Pictures
and images, wherever possible, will be used to
make the learning interesting and more informative.
Power point presentations:
Power point presentations that explain
specific concepts will also be included, wherever
necessary. This may also be coupled with a voice
over.
Commentary:
Certain concepts will be explained in detail through
a voice commentary.
Case Studies and Case-lets:
Case studies and small case incidents will
be introduced wherever relevant.
Reading References:
Wherever a concept needs further exploration or
the student has to refer certain texts, then the
appropriate book/reference material will be given.
Journals/Books/Papers:
This is an internet based activity, wherever
necessary references of journals/books/papers
will be included, which the student can seek out
and explore to gain additional knowledge.
Summary: At the
end a brief summary will consolidate the salient
features explained in the chapter and the learning
obtained. This will be in direct speech which
will give the student a gist of the contents covered
in the chapter.
Self Evaluation:
At the end of each topic, there will be
set of objective-type questions in the form of
fill in the blanks, match the following, multiple
choice questions, etc. This is a quick test or
a quiz to test students' understanding of the
topic. At the end there will also be assignment/submissions
that the student needs to do and submit. At the
end of each semester, there will be an examination
that could include mix of objective and descriptive
questions (refer section 10 for details)
