This document discusses assuring quality education for all through a techno-management framework using open source technology. It covers content development, faculty interaction, delivery, and governance. The author, Prof. K Subramanian, is introduced along with his credentials and experience in education, technology management, and government. Current issues in the Indian education system are then outlined, describing it as over-regulated and under-governed, with large government spending but insufficient and inefficient public education. The potential for technology to address this is discussed.

2. Current Indian Education Scenario
“Over-regulated and Under-Governed”
 The ‘not-for profit’ nature of the $40bn formal IES has deterred forprofit private participation while inability to transform education
into a ‘process-driven’ model curtails scalability in non-formal IES
($10bn).
 Investment rests on 4Cs –
 Players with Credibility (management intent & ability),
 Capital (built to last),
 Creativity (to ‘manage’ the overregulated environment)
 Content (to differentiate and build annuity)
 IES – the ‘Largest’…inefficiencies the ‘Highest’:
 the largest capitalized space in India with $30bn of government
spend (3.7% of GDP; at global average),
 a large network of ~1m schools and 18,000 higher education institutes.
 Yet, the public education system is ‘insufficient’ and ‘inefficient’, leading
education-hungry and affluent Indians to spend $50bn on private
education (14% CAGR over FY08-12E).

3. Current Indian Education Scenario
“Over-regulated and Under-Governed”
 Formal IES:
 A Poor Regulatory Framework and Low riskappetite have discouraged for-profit
participation and attracted limited capital..
With no structural change in sight (rampant
corruption and low political will), is
stagnant.
 Non-formal IES:
 Non-regulated and faster-growing –– fails
the scalability test (barring a few pockets).

 The platform of the Internet,
and low-cost connectivity, the
thing that is driving the most
change is the improvement of
the software that sits on top of
that platform
• The technological oriented workforce is
becoming available which is willing to use
technology
• More collaboration, availability of
information for 24 hours, and collaboration
among organizations are some of the recent
trends at the workplaces

 Interaction and Delivery system can change
 It is not one way delivery of lectures, but it is a
integrated interaction between learners &
Teachers
 Multi-media exposures makes teaching made
easier- at the same time, it empowers the

 Teachers & Learners use the same medium of
Internet & Web.

- For now NKN is providing the national Gbps VPNs.

Tier 3: Ongoing efforts of NPTEL and more are needed. More in advanced web
resources – Scientific Databases, HPC, 3D and VR content, simulated labs and
environments, so on. A lot more on local content generation in the different
regions needed.

Tier 4: Critical layer to associate content with learning activities using the formal
ODTEL Framework. Driven by CEGs duly appointed by respective universities and
duly approved by its academic councils or equivalent. Quality of education is
assured through this layer.

Tier 5: Managed in affiliate colleges and study centres.

49. Towards a PPP Model for Education Grid Services
 All universities and formal education programs to hire their own space in the
cloud of networked Data Centers.
 Data Centers may be owned and managed by private players.
 All agree on an Indian Profile of standardized systems and applications.
 At Integrated, currently using a few instances of Solaris or Linux virtual
containers over enterprise class servers and Virtual Storage system for
each. Top this with MySQL, Drupal CMS and Apache for hosting the webapplications.
 Applications are typically Wiki, Moodle, a Digital Library suite, Mobile
Gateways, video streaming, Databases, etc.
 Care taken to ensure that applications are W3C compliant and accessed
through different browsers under common OS.
 An incubator for promoting Education Grid Services.

50. Turning Affiliating University System to Advantage
 Each Affiliating University (AU) adopts ODTEL Framework and builds its own
Open Course Guides (OCG) for each course.
 Colleges conduct the course as per the OCG. Each of them may use their
own LMS and other tools.
 Teachers in different colleges of the same university collaborate with CEG
through an LMS maintained in the university. Both CEG and teachers are
also guided by the OCG
 Inexperienced teachers may choose or encouraged to undergo certificate of
proficiency programs conducted by the AU.
 Certified teachers in a subject carry out evaluation of their own class in that
subject and act as feedback to students.
 Such systems generate large pool of good teachers over time.
 OCG also promotes varieties of students’ engagements in learning activities.

51. From NPTEL to VIIT or VISTA?

The popularity of NPTEL Video Lectures hosted in YouTube is
increasing. Last 6 months saw 0.5 million visits. Open comments
on YouTube show many students around the world are grateful to
this IITs initiative.

For each NPTEL video course we may create an IOCG by formally
established groups under a Virtual IIT, or, Virtual Institute of
Science, Technology and Arts (VISTA).

Such IOCG may also enrich the course through rich supplementary
links to MIT OCW, various other university sites.

MHRD has given some seed grant to IIT Kanpur to give the concept
of VIIT a shape.

With IITs,NITs IISc and Integrated establishing small Data Centres we
are ready for the pilot launch by 2013+.

52. The Great Opportunity

Imagine the scope: For a revenue base, let us say we charge Rs.
100 per month or Rs. 500 for a whole semester long course for
assured Tech Enabled Learning services, 8 courses per year, 2.5
Mn engineering students, the pool comes to Rs. 10 Bn. Crores per
Year!

The scope is much more! A whole new world of Open Education
with India leading the way while solving its present intractable
problem.

IOCG driven ODTEL framework assures all students quality learning
centric education.


ODTEL gives the system of formal education the Tech Enabled edge.
We may also liberate learners by allowing to take courses from
different universities.

53. Changing Accreditation and
Regulatory Systems
 The 5* Course Maturity Rating over the ODTEL Framework
makes it accreditation worthy in a natural way.
 This will help giving new enabling roles to the regulatory
bides and accreditation agencies. This may set the terms
of the proposed National Commission for Higher Education
and Research (NCHER).
 With IOCG and supportive public wiki in each course
curriculum modernization is readily integrated as a
continuous process.
 Let us start the three way consultation between
Academia, Industry and Government and thrash out the
modalities of building the ODTEL system min the country.

54. It is time we get out of the present weak system of
education that has reduced it to ‘covering’ the syllabus
and conducting mass exams.
As per our Indian Tradition, True Man-making Education
is built upon the three processes of
SRAVANA, MANANA AND NIDHIDHYASANA
The ODTEL Framework set Over a National Education
Grid is a practical way to support quality education
through Tech Enabled Learning.
 It is time to give the learners greater options than
what is offered by a university/college through
Open Access to courses from others.

59. And more to be done ...
“If the poor cannot come to education, education must reach them,
at the plough, in the factory, everywhere.”
.. Swami Vivekananda
 With CKE, we must integrate quality and inclusive
education opportunities for all aspiring youth and any
one who wish to
learn further.
 Such education should be vertically integrated to provide
opportunities for everyone who is competent and
aspires to study
further.
 Slogan: 'Place no bar, age no bar, time no
bar' and offer 'Quality
Education to All Independent of Geography.'

60. Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
- Rabindranath Tagore
