3. Course Journal for week2
The internet is a collection of several independent networks. Thus internet can
be thought of as controlled by everyone as well as no one. Q.1.Who controls the
Internet?
Reflection Spot
Q.2. Do you know how information travels from your computer to other networks?
Some Internet Protocols
Whenever information travels from one computer to another and from one network
to the other, there are rules and procedures that manage the movement of data
packets. These rules and procedures constitute network protocols.
Reflection Spot
The Internet: HTTP & HTML
A URL is the address of any resource you look for on the Internet. Suppose you
want to visit Google site, which is the correct URL to use?
https://www.google.com
Tools for website creations
In this session, we'll see the need and various options available to setup a simple
website for teaching and research faculty. Like all others, we have consumed
content, but as teaching and research faculty we also need to create content which
is to be used by others, particularly our students. Some of them could be our
curriculum vitae, our research work which could be topics, publications. If you are
offering in a summer internship or just to advertise the group members that you
have. You could also use it to post teaching material or to simply create a blog.
Websites can be broadly classified as simple and multifunctional. Simple
websites are something like which have just a few pages and a very simple menu,
it could also have periodic pages which are also known as blogs. On the other
hand, multifunctional websites are pages with much more deeper structured
content. For example, if you want to have list of publications, each publication has
got multiple fields like the title, author, journal, year etc. Now, this is called as a
structure to a content. We could also have pages linked to each other. For
example, research topic could list only those publications which are related to that
research topic and only those people working on that topic etc. Basic
Customisation in Wordpress
Here we'll show you how to customise the appearance of Wordpress site that we
have created using some basic configuration. First, we will login to the site which
we created and on the left-hand side go to my sites and I have the site which is
created wpfac. You can see this wpfac@wordpress.com you could directly visit
that site or through this. Once you are here this is how your site looks with some

4. default text already put in. You can see that this is some examples text which is not
to be used finally where it says that this is your first post you can edit or modify it,
and this is a text widget which allows you to add something there that and there is
a search, there is a menu - Home, About, Contact. So very simple page has already
been set up for you by default. Now what we'll do is to look at some configuration
of this site. We are going to use basic customizations. You can find that link either
on the right-hand side bottom here or you could go to my site and wp admin. So
this is what is called as an admin dashboard.
This dashboard will be visiting very often in these sessions. This section on the left
is called as a control panel,
which is got various action items that you can use to change your site. So let me go
back to the site wpfac and customise the site. So I click on customise on the right
bottom and I come here. So it says that you're customising wpfac, so this is the
name of the site. So if I want to change the name of this site to something else I use
this edit link here and I can say Faculty Profile Example. So as I type this it shows
how your website is going to look. If you want to set up a logo you can set up. You
can add a logo. You can select files from your desktop, drag and drop it here and it
will be there, I am not going to do that now. So I've just changed my title, I have
introduced the tagline, and I am going to say save and publish.So once I do that
your site has now a new name and a new tagline. So I go back. So this is the site
with a new title and a new tagline. Let say if I want to change some other colours
here again I go to customise on the bottom right here. We've already done this,
title, tagline and logo we have changed. Let say we want to change the colours and
backgrounds So some colour palettes are already there, you can choose them to see
if you like a particular appearance and then you save and publish. So that is saved
now.
Adding Content in Wordpress
Now we'll tell you about how to add simple content such as pages and blogs in
your Wordpress site. Wordpress by default provides two simple content types.
They are the blog and the page. Blog is a short form for web-log. Web-log
essentially is like your diary on the web. It could be a commentary, it could be a
collection of pictures or any other review and so on. What distinguishes a blog
from a page is that a blog is periodic or occasionally unperiodic, but it is a time
bound release, so every month you could have a blog, every day you could have a
blog and so on. Usually they are categorised by the date of release and keywords.
Whereas 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. And it could appeared in the front
page or in the menu items and so on. Pages can have other objects in it such as
tables, lists, images, attachments and so on. We'll now see how to create a simple

5. blog and a simple page. I have already logged into my site and this is the
customized site that we had from the previous session. To create a blog I go to this
top left corner and a menu pops up and has all these actions. Here, right here I have
add a blog post to add a new blog and add pages to add new pages. Let's add a
blog. A blog has a title and a body. First you need to choose a title, it could be a
draft title, it need not be the final title, and then you have to type in your thoughts
in the body, you can attach media as well. So let's choose a blog title, and so on.
So, you have title and you start typing your thoughts, you can preview how this
looks.
So this is how it looks on your page, you will have the main page, the title of this
blog, content and this is my user ID when it was published and it gives an option
for users to comment on it, and the other blogs which you have posted earlier are
all down below. So, if you think this is okay, you can go and publish it. But say if
you're not happy with it, or you think you have to do more on this, you could just
go back because a draft has already been saved. You don't have to do anything, you
just go back and you can come back to it later. Similarly, you could add another
post. Let's say I want to publish this, and done. So this is how you create a blog,
choose a title, type in your thoughts, preview if required and then publish..
Managing Content in Wordpress
Now we'll see how to manage various contents such as blogs, pages, and comments
in your Wordpress site. To do this, we need to understand what a control panel is?
A control panel allows you to manage your blogs, media, and pages comments and
so on and several other site level actions. So let us first see, how to get in to this
control panel? This is our sample page. Website that we have created. We go to
My Site and go to WP Admin. So this WP Admin or Wordpress admin is by
default leading you to what is known as a dashboard. This is the administrative
user dashboard. This dashboard gives you lot of statistics here and lot of links here
with which you can take action on your website Unlike, the other site that you had
easily created using for creating blogs and posts. This interface allows you much
more complicated interactions with the website. So this is the administrative
dashboard. Here on the left, you can see posts, media, links, pages, comments etc.
Clicking on post will give you a list of all the posts that are there which you have
created in this website. We had three posts. First one was created by default and it
says that it is sticky. Remember the second post that we created was in a draft stage
and it shows here as draft. The third post which we created, we had published it.
Doesn't say anything here but you can see here that it is published.
First post and the last post are both published whereas the second one is in the draft
state. From this interface, you can take several quick actions. For example, if I
want to convert this draft post to a published post, I just hover over this, go to
quick edit.

6. There is a draft state here, I make it published and say update. And now the
draft status is gone and this is been published. Similarly, a sticky post is a post
which always is there at the top of all the lists. Normally, the blog posts are
there in a descending order of time. So latest is the first, but if you want certain
blog post to appear always on the top you make it sticky.

10. COURSE JOURNAL FOR WEEK 4
In this week is meant for primarily exploring Learning Management Systems
(LMS). Even though IITBombayX is also an LMS, it is primarily catering to
massive open online courses. Then explored MOODLE, yet another popular and
open source LMS. There is a slight modification in the pedagogy of this week's
course.
Instead of MCQs for "Learning by Doing" activities, you will be asked to explore
the features in a demo MOODLE course. Exploring MOODLE MOODLE is an
open source learning platform that is widely used in delivering courses online.
It has many features that help in the effective delivery of courses, including:
forums, quizzes, chats, glossary, peer assessment assignments on your institution's
server which allows you to explore the full features with unlimited number of
students or using a MOODLE service hosted in the cloud (MoodleCloud with a
limitation of up to 50 participants only or Gnomio which does not have any user
limitations but also no guarantees).and many other.
MOODLE can be used in many ways: by installing it
MOODLE in IIT Bombay: Like many other institutions in the World, IIT Bombay
uses Moodle to deliver courses to students. There are many advantages in using
Moodle to deliver courses to students. Prof. Upendra Bhandarkar from In
Mechanical Engineering Department explained how best you can use Moodle to
give a new learning experience to your students.
