Online Classrooms
LED 1.1: From Physical Classroom to Online Classrooms
This video discussed teaching learning experience in a classroom:
In a physical classroom : Effective teaching-learning interactions is done in a triangular manner
between the 3 components: learner, content and teacher (as shown in figure below)
Reflection Activity:
Can you list one example of the interactions that happened between these three in a normal
classroom?
Using chalk & board system, where the content will be explained on the board which compiled from
various sources like books, websites, etc. (Teacher-Content interaction). Student will note the content
in their notebook (Learner-Content interaction) and their queries will also be solved (Teacher-Learner
interaction). Students will be asked to solve problems given on the board (Learner-Teacher
interaction) through discussion among themselves (Learner-Learner interaction).
In an online classroom
Effective teaching-learning interactions is done in a triangular manner between the 3 components:
learner, content and facilitator (in place of teacher in physical classroom)
Three platform features emerge for an online instructor – Videos, Problems and Discussion Forums.

LED 1.2: Pedagogic Adaptation 1: Learning Dialogues (LeD)
Reflection Activity :
What is the equivalent of such a video in a regular teaching-learning interaction within your
classroom?
The teacher delivering lecture directly to the students in person.
What additional features does the video provide you apart from the regular information
transmission of the content?
Repeat the content as many times each learner requires. Speed and volume can be adjusted as per
each learner requirements along with a timed transcript if the learner can’t follow the speech.
Complex diagrams and data-sheets can be represented quickly. Also animation can be given for better
understanding.
Reflection Activity: The reflection spots that are kept in this video to make the learner pause think
and write the answer to a reflection question. By adding reflection spots, you will no longer be
watching passive videos; you will be involved in a learning dialogue with the facilitator of the course.
LED 1.3: Pedagogic Adaptation 2: Learning by Doing Activities (LbD)
Reflection Activity :
What advantage do you see in answering these questions immediately after watching LeDs?
Quick evaluation by the teacher and the learner himself whether the content taught is fully understood
or not. If the concepts are not understood or partially understood, then the topic can be
repeated.Important points can be revised.
By doing the learning-by-doing activities immediately after the learning dialogue video, it helps in the
reinforcement of the key concepts that were already shown as detailed feedback is obtained about the
content.
Similar analogy is the intermediate questions and answer (explanation) provided in physical
classroom. But in online process, difference is that each learner gets an opportunity to answer this
question and get a detailed feedback.
This helps in making the learning process more learner-centric.

LED 1.4 : Pedagogic Adaptation 3: Learning Extension Resources (LxT)
Advanced resources to get deep understanding of the particular content.
Reflection Activity :
What is the function of assimilation quizzes?
1. To check the level of Understanding.
2. To provide the feedback to Teacher.
3. To show the skills of the Learner.
4. To motivate the Learner.
LED 1.5: Pedagogic Adaptation 4: Learning Experience Interactions (LxI)
In a physical classroom : Teacher checks learners experience on content through structured
discussion by asking focus questions and also suggesting specific points to be discussed and specific
instructions on how to conduct this discussion.
Reflection Activity :
What are the advantages of having a structured group discussion with a focus question and
specific instructions?
Focused and structured discussion among peers helps to get effective understanding of the concept
and share their experiences, without having ambiguity and diverting from the core topic.
In an online classroom
Learning experience interactions: Focused discussions + graded reflection quiz.
Reflection quiz is based on discussions within the forum.
Self exploration Resources

Internet is available in computer, mobiles, tablets etc. It is the largest network of
cables and computers that make it possible for appliances to send information
between each other.
We can send and receive information. Computer translates everything to the form of
ones and zeros.
Large computer and server can perform communication by using numbers and
digital coded.
All devices which are connected to the internet have their own IP address is like a
telephone number.
A website has a domain name and an IP address.
There are more than300 top level domains in the word.

VISUAL PRESENTATION
Week 3: Visual Presentation - Visual Presentation Skills 1
Reflection Spot
Assume that you are planning to create a slide with your subject content and uploaded it to
your Word Press website. You are creating this as an open educational resource (OER) so
that everyone can access and use it. What visual parameters will you take care of during
your slide design so that your website visitors find it easier to understand?
Answer: - I will use larger fond size and make them bold and use of dark colour like black
or blue to see the content clearly. I will use of graphics, diagrams etc. for easy
understanding of the concept. I will highlight or underlined the content if I want the learner
should give more concentration on it.
Dr. Sameer guides about the process of planning as follows while preparing presentation.
Plan - Execute – Impress
Plan- Analyze, Brainstorm, Organize
Execute- Outline, Bulleted details, Graphics
Impress- Colour schemes, typography, visual effects appeal
He explained about the different types of graphics that we can use in our presentation.
There are two types of graphics.
Static graphics: - drawing/illustration, photographs, charts/tables/graphs
Motion graphics: - Videos and animation
Other different types of graphics mentioned in this video are
Decorative graphics: - Grabbing attention of viewer

Week 3: Visual Presentation - Visual Presentation Skills 2
Reflection Spot
Given that you know how to design visuals from the previous learning dialogue, what do
you think are the considerations you have to make when using fonts and colours in slide
design? How many font types, font sizes and colours will you use in the design of your
slides?
Answer: - Generally I use two colours, all matter in one colour (black) and if I want to
point some important sentence or word I use another colour like red or I highlight it with
yellow colour. Fond type I used Times New Roman and fond size 24.
Dr. Sameer talked about the guidelines Colour guidelines, typography guidelines and
general guidelines as follows
Colour guidelines
Colours are very important because it communicates mood and have some conventional
meaning. Basic thumb rule of using colours as follows
More contrast-More readability
Dim lit room- White text on black
Bright room - Black text on white
Vivid/pale colours- Less readability
Colour scheme suit to our topic
Question: - How to lend emphasis?
FDP101X course journal deepaktt
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ Page 16
Answer: - Make it bold or italics or underlined or highlight it with different colour.
Typography Guidelines:-
Use Minimum fonts: two are advisable. More than one is chaotic
Use font options to emphasize: One is advisable, two can be used rarely.
Use alignment feature: Left is preferred, but depends on template at times.
Use grid
General Guidelines:-
Use of 6×6rule
-Not more than 6points on slide
-Not more than 6 words in each point
Chose template which promote readability.
Use phrases or abbreviated sentence, rather than full sentences.
Select sans serif fond and use them 24pt or larger.
Incorporate high quality graphics that reinforce your message.
Provide reference to any artefact use from someone else presentation, website, paper,
lecture etc.
Use animation , slide transitions, audio and video sparingly
Highlight the most important information.
Create a handout to accompany presentation
Creating your own Video Resource
Week 3:Spoken Tutorial: Creating a Video Open Education Resource - Creative Commons
Licensing
When sharing our resources to other people through the Internet or when we use readymade
content from the Internet, we always have to think of licenses. That is, the owner of the
content and the way we can use such content. Creative Commons (CC) is one way that
offers public license which allows you to set the way you want other people to use your
content (open educational resources) and how the already available content can be used by
other

Week 3: Spoken Tutorial: Creating a Video Open Education Resource - Spoken Tutorial
Project
In this learning dialogue Prof. Kannan Moudgalya, explains how Spoken Tutorial Project
at IIT Bombay utilizes the video creation process. It is a project that consists of open
educational resources available under the Creative Commons. This dialogue creates a basis
for the resource creation activity that you are required to complete.
Week 3: Creating Spoken Tutorials
With the introduction to the Spoken Tutorial Project and the Creative Commons license,
Prof. Kannan Moudgalya continues to explain how they prepare spoken tutorial videos
using many software tools.
Week 3: Other Screencasting Softwares - Other Software
OTHER SOFTWARE TOOLS
There are many software packages that we can use to create uor own open educational
resources.The softwares marked with GPL allowing users to freely distribute and modify
the original program. The following non-GPL softwares are also popularly used.
1. Screencast-O-Matic
2. Techsmith Jing (for Windows and OSX)
3. Techsmith Camtasia (for Windows)
4. Quicktime (for OSX)
Week 3: Learning Extension Resources - Multimedia Principles
Learning Extension Resources: Multimedia Principles
Multimedia principles help learners to learn better when they are using differentlearning
materials of your course
Redundancy: - People learn more from graphics and narration than from graphics, narration
and on screen text
FDP101X course journal deepaktt
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ Page 18
Coherence: - People learn more from multimedia message when extraneous material
excluded rather than included
Contiguity: - People learn more deeply from multimedia when corresponding words and
pictures are posted near rather than far on the page or screen.
Prof. Richard E Mayer was the person who is chief contributor behind the "Multimedia
Principles". He is an American educational psychologist and has contributed in the general
areas of cognition and learning. In his interview he has given answer on many questions
related to the education.
Week 3: Resource Creation and Peer Review - Resource Creation and Peer Review
Resource Creation and Peer Review
In a massive open online course like FDP101x, learners will be creating a lot of resources.
However, it will be difficult for the course instructors to evaluate each and every resource.
Peer review is one mechanism that is employed in such massive courses to assess such
huge number of subjective assignments.
