The document discusses India's academic credit system for higher education. It explains that the University Grants Commission has asked universities to adopt credit systems to measure student work through internal evaluations and fewer exams. However, credit systems vary between institutions. Generally, credits correspond to study time, and students need a set number to graduate. The document outlines the characteristics and structure of credit-based courses, including defining credits based on lecture, tutorial, and practical hours. It also discusses the advantages of credit systems in promoting flexibility, student-centered learning, and transferability between institutions. However, challenges include difficulty estimating marks and needing good infrastructure.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Introduction
An academic credit system is a standard
used by universities to measure and assess
students’ work and effort during
their Bachelor's, Master's or PhD
programme.
For each course students will take during
their degree studies, they will earn a number
of credits.
3. Introduction
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked
universities and colleges to carry out academic reforms,
including introduction of the semester system and credit-
system, “with a switchover to continuous internal evaluation
and reducing the written examination component, credit
transfer, and credit accumulation,” says a UGC report on
‘Higher education in India - Strategies and schemes during
eleventh plan period (2007-2012) for universities and
colleges’.
4. Introduction
However, there is no uniformity in the credit
systems currently followed by some
institutions in India.
Whatever the variations may be, basically a
credit corresponds to a particular amount of
study or learning time. A student needs to
earn a set number of credits to receive his/her
certificate, diploma or degree.
5. Meaning
A course credit is a unit that gives weight to
the value, level or time requirements of an
academic course taken at a school or other
educational institution.
6. Characteristics
It is student centric
Student have freedom to study the subjects of their
interest.
Students can learn on their own pace.
They can earn extra credits.
They can opt for an interdisciplinary approach to
learning.
They can opt additional course.
7. Characteristics
It caters individual differences.
It provides need based learning.
Students can change college/university with the
tranfer of credits.
8. Need and objectives to adopt credit system
To replace teacher-centred education system.
To replace subject-centred education system.
To eliminate information giving and rote learning
dominance in the entire system of evaluation-cum-
academic system of higher education.
To provide a variety of choices to students to opt for
their learning at their own will and interests.
9. Measuring a credit
Every one hour of lecture/week amounts to one
credit.
It is based on different parameters like student
workload, learning outcomes and contact hours.
Total credits earned by a student at the end of
semester after successfully completing the course is
L+T+P
10. Structure of a course in credit
system
The structure and credits associated with each
course are defined by the (L-T-P) structure
which indicates the number of lecture hours
/week, number of tutorial hours/week and
number of practical hours /week to be devoted
for the course.
11. Structure of a course in credit
system
Courses may be constructed to combine all three LTP
elements, so a four-credit course, for example, might
involve 2 one-hour lectures per week (two credits), 1
two-hour tutorial (one credit), and one practicum (one
credit). A more interactive course might be structured
with no lecture, two 2-hour tutorials (two credits), and
two labs (two credits) per week. The specific credit
make-up of a course will vary from subject to subject
and from institution to institution based on curriculum
design and desired learning outcomes.
12. Format of a course in credit
system
The credit pattern of a course is indicated as L:T:P
format.
For a four credit course format could be:
4:0:0 1:2:1 1:1:2 1:0:3
2:1:1 2:2:0 2:0:2 3:1:0
13. Different types of papers in credit
based system
Programs are to be constructed with ‘core
compulsory’ courses, elective core classes chosen
from a pool of courses relevant to the major and
open elective courses that are not necessarily
related to the program of study. There are also
options for coursework and self-study projects, if
desired and allowed by the department or
institution.
14. Different types of papers in credit
based system
Common papers: compulsory for all
students.
Core papers: compulsory for all students of
an academic area.
Elective papers: choose by students
according to their interest.
Project papers
15. Advantages
Shift in focus from the teacher-centric to student-
centric education.
Student may undertake as many credits as they can
cope with.
It allows students to choose inter-disciplinary, intra-
disciplinary courses, skill oriented papers (even from
other disciplines according to their learning needs,
interests and aptitude).
16. Advantages
It allows for flexibility for students.
It enhances quality of education system.
It makes education broad-based and at par with
global standards. One can take credits by
combining unique combinations. For example,
Physics with Economics, Microbiology with
Chemistry or Environment Science etc.
17. Advantages
Credits earned at one institution can be
transferred.
Students can study at different times and
at different institutions to complete one
course.
18. Disadvantages
Difficult to estimate the exact marks.
Workload of teachers may fluctuate.
Demand good infrastructure for
dissemination of education.
19. Disadvantages
It is at experimental stage in India.
Very expensive.
Lack of trained teachers.
