A TOUR OF THE STUDENT’S E-LEARNING PUDDLEacijjournal
E-learning has revolutionized our realm in more than just a listable number of ways. But it took a
paradigm shift when it entered the threshold of the varsity system. With the prevailing spoon-feeding era,
are the students really industry ready? We answer that by confirming afact: web-based learning has
become the oxygen of freshers in the IT Industry instead of the traditionallearning done through
graduation. Furthermore, are university enforced e-learning assessment systems a true representation of a
student's proficiency? This paper is a peep into what web-based e-learning systems are to a student of
today's world, by giving an overview of university-level e-learning in India deploying an example from
SRM University's organizational framework. It assesses a key e-learning trend, the implementation of
which bridges the gap between universities and the industry. It is proposed to provide constructive
feedback to the e-learning community and shine some light on areas of scope for future developments.

Sabarkantha Model of Rural Broadband for Digital IndiaNagarajan M
Sabarkantha Model of Rural Broadband provides a service framework for providing high speed internet to interior and tribal areas where there is no service provider. It started by creating India's first 100% WiFi tribal block at Khedbrahma. Further improvements to the model were made by introducing revenue share mechanism. Gram Panchayats invest in last mile infrastructure for WiFi and act as service provider. Sabarkantha District Panchayat acts as the aggregator of the network and invests in middle mile/backhaul to extend the network. This model represents a change from fiber and hardware focus to services to citizens as the key outcome. Its a fully operational model across 65 village panchayats as on Jan 2016. The economic model provides for a sustainable way to run the network. The model will be seamlessly integrated and complimented to the NOFN/Bharatnet implementation as Sabarkantha is now included in Phase - I of NOFN.
StartUp Sabarkantha is a platform for Innovators, Entrepreneurs, Incubators, Venture Funds, Government agencies and all Impactpreneurs to come together and explore opportunities for Innovation and Impact. The event was held on 05th August 2015 at Himatnagar.

Mata Yasoda - Mobile Application for Anganwadi Centers (ICDS)Nagarajan M
Mata Yashoda project aims to decrease malnutrition among 6 months to 6 years children of Sabarkantha district. Per 1000 population one Anganwadi Cenre (AWC) is established to nutrition and pre-school education to children. Study says in 50% of infant deaths malnutrition is indirect cause of death. One Anganwadi Worker (AWW) and one Tedaghar (cook) are posted to deliver services. In AWC apart from nutrition services and pre-school services AWW has to participate in various other activities like Meeting, Sabha, Krishi Rath and has to report all the services given by her.
Also monthly weight monitoring is done for each child and plotted on graph to track child’s nutritional status. She has to fill 11 (eleven) registers for services given by her. So AWW has to give most of time in reporting and other activates. So quality of service given by AWW has suffered. Mata Yashoda project has converged all these register in single mobile application. So AWW has to fill data once and reports are automatically generated by this software. So less time is consumed and AWW gets extra time for children.
Monitoring from taluka and district level has become very easy with single online real time Dashboard. Time spent on actual delivery of services is reduced due to cumbersome register maintenance. More than 11 registers are to be maintained by the AWW. This task is automated leading to increased time and energy to carry out ICDS services. The administration is able to get real time information for monitoring.

• AI software promises to improve analytics,
teaching, customer service, and student success.
• A truly dizzying array of software choices is
available as a service in every boutique segment.
• Every SaaS we implement must be integrated in
some way with existing ERP.

8. Feeding an ever-changing pipeline of
opportunity
• Creating a direct pipeline from education to opportunity is
becoming far more difficult
• List of viable careers of tomorrow is changing as fast as the
new tools and platforms educators have available to
prepare their students for them.
• Made more difficult as automation removes functions from
the "humans only" pool of job skills, changing existing
careers and creating entirely new careers as a result of new
technology.
• "Reducing the growing disconnect between what skills
students are leaving universities with and what is needed in
the market should be the fundamental focus of educators
and institutions in our fast-changing future,"

9. Leveraging big data and analytics
• Big data to pinpoint areas students are struggling in and intervene
before it's too late.
– Some examples of retention usage include the following:
– Dartmouth College created a smart app to predict GPA based on
studying, sleep, exercise, and face-to-face interactions. This 10-week
experiment ran in the background and didn't require any manual input
by the students.
– Temple University implemented a Chatbot to lighten the customer call
center's load and improve the website experience. The chatbot has
been a hit and answers common questions from current students,
employees, and prospective students.
– Georgia State University deployed an AI program focused on
identifying and stepping in early for at-risk students using 800
academic and 14 financial risk factors.
– The AI looks at how well students are doing in class, whether they've
skipped class recently, or if a payment has been missed to identify
students in need of instruction or advising.

10. Tackling privacy and security
considerations
• Privacy. Where's the line between providing
personalized answers and unnerving a student
with the amount of private information the
university holds?
• Security. Having access to so much information is
attractive, but it also creates the idea of "rainy
day" information—collecting and keeping all
information in case you need it later.
• But if personally identifiable information (PII) is
not protected effectively, there are major risks to
students and institutions.

11. Collaborative Learning
• Boise State University converted a traditional
computer classroom into a collaborative
learning space using Solstice technology which
allows faculty and students to stream or share
files to any of the monitors in the room.

12. Culture of Innovation
• Teaching delivery and how technology may be
used to support innovation.
• For example, faculty have to take the role of
facilitators to ensure that groups can work
together to generate new ideas, rather than
delivering lectures from a fixed podium.
• According to EDUCAUSE, when at-risk students
used blended learning their pass rates increased
by one third. The students also mastered the
content at a faster rate by 50%.

15. 7 Myths of Online Education
1. Online teaching is meant for the young and techno-
savvy
2. Online teaching is only a stop-gap arrangement
3. Online teaching is not egalitarian
4. Technology will eventually replace the teacher
5. Students prefer face-to-face interaction, not online
teaching
6. Online teaching-learning is not as effective as face-to-
face mode
7. Degrees and diplomas obtained through online
education are not valid
15
16. Future lies in Blended Learning
• Two clarifications are required. The kind of
online e-learning that we are discussing is, in
fact, a blend of online and offline.
• Face-to-face interaction is supplemented with
online teaching and this is due to the fact that
regular classes cannot be conducted because
of the lockdown, forcing teachers and
institutions to switch over to the online mode.
• How much to blend ???
16
17. In Summary
• The biggest opportunity and challenge will be
to "directly connect the skills and knowledge
students acquire in their programs to fulfilling
and sustainable careers after graduation.
• And, how to do it at a cost and in a period of
time that is justifiable for the increasingly ROI-
savvy digital natives and for those already in
the workforce that are forced to re-skill to stay
relevant in the market."
