INTRODUCTION
Teaching is a continual process to share the information to students or mentors through various processes like traditional teaching method using blackboard & chalk.
As technology developed this type of traditional teaching may not reaching to brains of students. Now technical aspects of teaching required for students.
For this teacher and students both should be technically skilled to teach and learn.
This FDP on “Foundation program in ICT for Education” helpful for teacher to implement the Hybrid Technology in teaching.
This course contents helpful in learning aspects related to basic computer applications utilization in preparation of contents, visual presentation skills, data storage and implementation through wordpress, course contents by using moodle and drupal, screen cast recording of video and creative contents preparation.
This course helps in preparation of video to implementation of course for hybrid teaching process.

1) INTRODUCTION TO FDP
1. Introduction by Prof. Deepak Phatak, the Principal Investigator of
T10KT project at IIT bombay.
2. Introduction focused on reasons for technology education from conventional or tradition education as information provider to become learning facilitators.
3. The first FDP is on use of technology to facilitate Hybrid Learning.
Hybrid Learning means that our learners are able to learn both from face to face interaction as we traditionally do and also from online resources such as registering for online courses.
4. IITBombayX designed the two FDPs.
5. The first FDP is a foundation program in ICT for education. Which deals with all aspects of technology that are useful for education.
6. The second FDP is designed to explain to us the pedagogy for online and blended or hybrid teaching-learning process.
2) MAINTAINING ACADEMIC ETHICS AND INTEGRITY
1. Prof. Deepak Phatak, explained related to 'Academic Ethics'.
2. In these FDPs particularly, concern about the following: First, respect for intellectual property rights, that means, if we are using any material that has been copyrighted or patented, we must obtain permission to use that material and we must quote that material reference. Second have to cite the source from which you have collected this information. The Third important point is that we must ensure that we individually and collectively prepare open educational resources and contribute these to the learning community.
3) GRADING POLICY
1. There are going to be 6 graded activities
-Knowledge Quizzes (KQ)
-Assimilation Quizzes (AQ)
- Reflection Quizzes (RQ)
S. Suneel kumar Page 3
- Resource Creation Assignments (RCA)
- Lab Assignments (LA) and
- a final Summative Assessment (SA).
2. All these 6 activities will together provide the 100 percentage of total score in this FDP.
3. The Knowledge quizzes will contribute to 30 percentage. The Assimilation quizzes, that are again assessment for assimilation of "Learning Extension Resources" will contribute to 10 percentage of total score. The "Reflection Quizzes" based on the Learning Experience Interactions that happen in the discussion forum will contribute to 10 percentage of total grade. The Resource Creation Assignments, where you will be creating resources using the ICT applications, this assignment is peer reviewed, will contribute to 15 percentage of total score. The lab assignments, which will be released on the day of synchronous interactions, will contribute to another 10 percentage in this total score. The summative assessment, which will be released in the final week, will contribute to the remaining 25 percentage of total score.
4. Now that have understood the total grading percentage, we will now look at the pass criteria for this FDP is 50 percentage of the total mark of this course, the people whose total score is greater than or equal to 50 percentage will be eligible for taking the next FDP.
Summary:
The Introduction helps in
● Why FDP foundation course
● Introduction to ICT tools using in classes
● Academic ethics
● Grading policy for FDP

WEEK-1
MOVING FROM PHYSICAL TO ONLINE CLASSROOMS
S. Suneel kumar Page 5
1) LED1.1 - Moving from Physical classroom to Online Classrooms
1. The pedagogic features available in this learning platform to ensure that you have an effective online teaching learning experience.
2. Teaching-learning experiences in a physical classroom.
3. In a physical classroom, there are three basic elements - the learner, the content and the teacher.
4. The teacher utilizes various strategies and available tools to facilitate
Effective teaching-learning interactions between these elements.
Reflection Question
Can you list the various interactions between these three components- Learner, Content and Teacher in physical classroom?
Teacher or Trainer will prepare the notes or content to discuss with the Students or Learner and Students will note down the teaching notes from trainer. Physically teacher will clarify the doubts and discussed.
● Teacher explains the content to the learner through various interactive methods like Powerpoint presentations, Animations, Quiz, Activities, Question-Answer and Assignments etc.
● Learner learn the contents from the PPT, Quiz etc.
● After completion of the class, the question and answers will be discussed.
5. The facilitator would initially interact with the content and prepare videos, resources like slides, practice problems etc., for students to work out.
6. The students will interact with the content by accessing the course, watching videos and doing problems.
7. The instructor-learner interaction and the learner-learner interaction
is facilitated through discussion forums.
8. Thus, three platform features emerge for an online instructor - Videos, Problems and Discussion Forums, to generate the various interactions that we had seen in the physical classroom as well.
2) LED 1.2 - Pedagogic Adaptation 1: Learning Dialogues or LeDs
1. In this video, explaining to you the first pedagogic feature that you will see in this learning platform - Learning Dialogues or LeDs.
Q1) What is the equivalent of instructor videos in a physical classroom?
S. Suneel kumar Page 6
● Powerpoint presentations and in the presentation animations will be added for effective communication to students.
● Along with the presentation, videos also will be shown for better understanding.
Q2) What additional features does the video provide in an online setting?
● Video lectures in classrooms will help in better understanding and provides play or stop the video, Rewind the video, Control Volume etc. and to explain many times possible. Where in the case of physical class room repetition possible in little extent.
● Flexibility for listening the video anytime, anywhere possible with online setting.
What is the equivalent of such a video in a regular teaching-learning interaction within your classroom?
2. Reflection spots and speed of the video.
3) LED 1.3 - Pedagogic Adaptation 2: Learning by Doing Activities or
LBDs.
1. In this video, explaining the second pedagogic feature that you will see in this learning platform, Learning-by-Doing Activities or LbDs.
2. One, explaining the various interactions in a teaching-learning environment and another, on the pedagogic modification of Learning Dialogues or LeDs. After each of these LeDs, you were also asked to do practice problems.
Q1) What advantages do you see in answering practice questions immediately after watching LeD videos?
It helps in quick response for the questions.
Visual representations of any content increases attention of the learner and the duration for remembering the contents, so we can remember the contents of the watched videos for long time.
We can watch the video number of times so quick check possible if not understood properly.
It gives understanding levels of participant, whether paying attention or not.
These questions will help to review the video for actual concepts and which improve the listening skills.
4) LED 1.4 - Pedagogic Adaptation 3: Learning Extension Resources or
S. Suneel kumar Page 7
LxIs
1. In this video, explaining the third pedagogic feature that you will see in this learning platform is the Learning Extension Resources or LxTs.
2. From the very word 'Learning Extension', you will understand that these resources are meant for extending your learning on what you have already learnt. That is, they are advanced resources that helps you in going deep in a particular content.
3. Now, a learning extension resource could be videos, it could be links to various web pages or documents that are already available or it could even be research papers that have been written about a particular pedagogy or a technology.
4. Along with the learning extension resources, we also have assimilation quizzes. Unlike the learning-by-doing activities, these assimilation quizzes are graded.
Q1) What is function of an Assimilation Quiz (AQ)?
Ans: Assimilation quizzes are given in graded score and these grade scores will reflects the deep understanding of particular topic by Learning Extension Resources (LxTs).
5) LED 1.5 - Pedagogic Adaptation 4: Learning Experience Interactions or LxIs.
1. In this video, explaining the pedagogic feature of learning experience interactions or LxIs.
2. To understand this component, let us first consider the case of a physical classroom scenario where the teacher inquires about the learners experiences on the content that was elaborated by the teacher and then initiates a structured discussion in the classroom by the structured discussion is done by asking a very focus question to all the learners and also suggesting specific points to be discussed.
3. The teacher also provides specific instructions on how to conduct this discussion.
Q1) Can you think of advantages of having such a structured group discussion like the one which I explained right now?
Ans: Structured group discussions explained in good way as it only revolve around specific topic to avoid distraction of learner. It helps learner to focus more on the contents and learner can involve more in communication. To get a chance for clarity on topic.
S. Suneel kumar Page 8
6) LED 1.6 - Resource Creation 1: Course Journal
Write one advantage of maintaining a “course journal”?
● Course journal will shows our understanding about the concepts which we have learned during the course.
● Course journal helps to maintain the records and process as well.
● It helps learner to record its overall thoughts.
● Course journal should be understandable to yourself as well as others.
● In course journal we can summarize the things
Learning Experience Interaction 1
● The various pedagogic features and gone through the content
● Interacting with others, on pedagogic adaptations, focused and structured discussion forum to interact each other.
"Learning Experience Interactions"
● The first learning experience interaction Focus question is “Introduce our self and tell about challenges that we face in our classroom while using technology”.

WEEK-2
WEB PRESENCE FOR TEACHERS
S. Suneel kumar Page 10
1) SELF EXPLORATION RESOURCES
WHAT IS INTERNET By Geoffrey Challen
WHAT IS INTERNET? HOW INTERNET WORKS?
● Internet is network of network through servers.
● Internet is a billions of network that are connection globally each other using servers.
● Internet protocol is like telephone number of user server which defines how computer connected to internet and communicate to each other.
● Internet is Connecting many of computers, protocol allows to work together and people use for new things.
HOW INTERNET WORK?
To understand how the Internet actually works watch the below video from
Internet Foundation in Sweden.
● Devices like computer/ laptops, mobile phones and tabs etc. are connected to internet through internet browsers. These devices are connected with each other through cable of signals or LAN’s.
● Digital information is transferred through this network which travels as fast as five times around earth in a second (MIPS).
● The digital information means – Blogs/ images/ musics/ videos/
games/ documents/ lists/ tags etc.
WHAT ARE A WEB PAGE AND WEBSITE?
● Web page can be created by web press or drupal as free website creation tools or through any web tools for designing website like .net programs.
● Website is a place where it contain webpages, blogs, videos and links etc., It will be connected through URL’s.
2) MENTORSWEB PRESENCE
● The links given in the website help to create the profile in an easy manner.
S. Suneel kumar Page 11
● Provided to interact a list of mentors for discussion forum. They will have the tag "Community TA".
How have the different mentors used web presence to aggregate the resources created by them during previous FDP?
● Different mentors’ of previous FDP, helped a lot in knowing how exactly a website looks after completion and by interacting with mentors as well as by reading their helpful tips.
3) LED 2.1. TOOLS FOR WEBSITE CREATION
How to create a simple website using WordPress? Various tools for website creation
Create simple website for teaching and research faculty. Website can be
1) Simple websites - Wordpress is used to create free online tool to create a simple website has few pages or simple menu and blogs.
2) Multifunctional websites- Drupal used to create multifunction website has pages with structured content, pages linked to each other, research and conference etc., in website.
Both are open source and freely available. Wordpress can be download, installed and or directly used else directly used through internet.
4) LED 2.2. BASIC CUSTOMIZATION IN WORDPRESS
Stuck to a domain called as workpress.com
Wordpress
● Wordpress is a free and open-source content management system
(CMS) based on PHP and bySQL.
● An account can be created in wordpress using email id as username to access wordpress for creation of website.
● Everything in Wordpress is a post. Even a ‘page’ is a post designated as a page.
● An account has to be created at www.wordpress.com in which freely available. Domain can be registered with
● The site created on wordpress can be managed through wp dashboard.
S. Suneel kumar Page 12
Through dashboard:
● Theme can be selected
● Theme can be customised (Tag Line/ Header/ photo/colour/fonts and widgets etc.)
● Theme can be changed
● New post can be added through blog
● Existing posts can be edited or deleted.
● Media (images/ videos) can be added
● Menu can be easily created and edited
● Widgets can be added like Search, calender, text, video and contact & location etc., Widgets are small applications running within a site that carries out a special task.
5) LED 2.3. ADDING CONTENT IN WORDPRESS
Two simple content types A. The blog B. The page
Blog
Blog is a short form for web-log. Blog is a like a diary on the web. A blog may be periodic or occasionally un periodic, but it is a time bound release. Usually they are categorised by the date of release and keywords.
Steps to create a blog
● Go to this top left corner and a menu pops up contains all these actions.
● Add a blog post to add a new blog and add pages to add new pages.
● A blog has a title and a body.
● Choose a title, it could be a draft title, it need not be the final title, and then type in the body and can attach media as well.
● We can preview how this looks. It gives an option for users to comment on it, and the other blogs which posted earlier are all down below.
Webpage
A page is a generic web-page that you all are familiar with. It could be a static page, there is nothing time bound to it. It will be added page to website. It appears in front page or in the menu items and so on. Web pages can have other objects in it such as tables, lists, images and attachments etc.,
S. Suneel kumar Page 13
Pages are typically some standard web pages which are usually static, could be an About page, could be Research Topic, it could be Teaching or General information.
Pages are organised in a hierarchical way, unlike blogs in which the categories are organised in a hierarchical way, here the pages themselves can be a parent-child relation.
Steps to create web pages
● My site, pages and add pages.
● This is the first page to create.
● A page tells about the various research areas that you are working, and write text and use a bulleted list, which creates a simple page which just has the title and a simple body.
● We can add other things to this page from here, like media and so on.
6) LED 2.4. MANAGING CONTENT IN WORDPRESS
In this explained about
● How to manage various contents such as blogs, pages, comments in your Wordpress site.
● Things can be managed by using control panel of wordpress.
● A control panel allows you to manage your blogs, media, pages comments and so on and several other site level actions.
● Here we have to go to My Site and go to or Wordpress admin is by default leading us to what is known as a dashboard. This is the administrative user dashboard.
● This dashboard gives us lot of statistics here and lot of links here with which you can take action on your website.
● Unlike, the other site easily created using for creating blogs and posts.
This interface allows you much more complicated interactions with the website.
Steps
● On the left, we can see posts, media, links, pages, comments etc.,
● Clicking on post will give us a list of all the posts that are there which we have created in this website.
7) LED 2.5. ADVANCED CUSTOMIZATION IN WORDPRESS
S. Suneel kumar Page 14
● Here about a few configurations which are not there in the default profile and has to be done through the dashboard.
● To add media to the pages. Go to Wordpress site and go to the admin dashboard add some pdf files or powerpoint files to my pages etc.,
● Wordpress stores all the files that you uploaded in a special location called as media library.
● Menu is the one which leads you from the homepage to different pages which are in your website.
● Now see how to add this page to a menu. Go to the dashboard control panel, appearance and menus. In current menu structure has got home, about and contact.
How to configure the look and feel of your website.
● When we install the website, we have chosen a default theme called as twenty sixteen.
● There are thousands of other themes that are freely available. To change them, go to the admin dashboard, under appearance, go to themes. There are several themes that are available here. We can sort them by popular, newest, we can look for only the free in the newest or the paid one in the newest.
● Select and say activate. So this theme can be customized like before you could change the colors, backgrounds, headers etc, but we'll not change them, but you notice that the whole look and feel of the website has changed by just changing one theme page.
● Now, we'll see how to customize widgets. Widgets as are small applications that have a display in our website. Just as themes, there are several widgets that are available for free.
● Go to widgets and there are a lot of widgets that are appearing here, we could choose them and choose where they should appear, either on the site bar, one side bar, two footer, footer second footer and third footer.

3) TOOLS FOR SMART CLASSROOMS
Tools that can assist in Smart Classrooms (with an interactive whiteboard). Smart classroom is required to teach more effectively and in a more interactive
manner. When students see images and animations the concepts are better understood by them. Most of the smart classroom solutions are expensive and hence not used widely.
Here is a list of Open Source applications that can assist in such a classroom.
1. Open Sankore for Interactive Whiteboards
2. Mediawiki for asynchronous collaborations
3. Github for collaborations particularly useful for CS Teachers
The above tools are free and open source.
These are few paid/proprietory applications:
1. ConceptBoard or Realtimeboard for realtime collaborations
2. Confluence by Atlassian as a team collaboration software
