We are, no doubt, quite habituated with Chalk and Talk method in our class. It is also practiced all over the world. But integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in our teaching-learning process, in our curriculum is an undeniable fact. It is not only the demand of the hour, National Assessment & Accreditation Council (NAAC) has made adopting ICT mandatory. Besides, for promotion or direct recruitment in superior position, now teachers need to furnish Academic Performance Indicator (API) that also provides points for the teachers who has integrated ICT in delivering their lectures. Thus embracing ICT not only benefits Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) but also facilitates teachers as well as preparing students for the 21st century and beyond. In today's world access, equity and quality are 3 cardinal principles to promote advancement of learning and higher education. I have divided my presentation in 3 parts-firstly I have given few introductory concepts, next, 7 practical steps to inculcate ICT in your college and thirdly, few important initiatives that have taken by the MHRD through its NMEICT project. In fact, ICT has changed our lives, the way we think, work, read and learn. Some people may think that ICT has changed everything which they may not be able to cope up with but this is not true because nothing has changed. Only the form, formats, storage and delivery mechanism have changed. We have to take our education to the next higher level to make our education globally competing and we have to connect with the world through exchanging our ideas and our resources. ICT has empowered us for better and improved communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. ICT is change agent. These 4C's can change the higher educational scenario in our country in the years to come.
Invited Lecture (on 27th Feb 2017) in the Short Term Course on Computer & Digital Education conducted by the UGC-HRDC, University of Calcutta
ICT has brought to us immense possibilities for imparting teaching-learning process without compromising 3 cardinal principles of higher education i.e., access, equity and quality. Accessing to the global open knowledge also led to open innovation and it was made possible only because of global connectivity on ICT platform. Moocs to M-learning attesting the importance and indispensability of ICT to reach the unreached.
ICT Implementation in The Education Sector of BangladeshAyman Sadiq
To make the best use of information technology, educational institutions need a workable plan to fully integrate it into all aspects of the curriculum so students are taught how, why, and when to use technology. How technology is utilized in the curriculum and managed by teachers will have an important role to play in widening the resource and knowledge base for all students.
Previously, the use of ICT was limited to private sector education only but it is no longer restricted to private sector education owing to the government efforts. The Government of Bangladesh in an effort to harness the power of ICT formulated its National ICT Policy in year 2002. To implement its policies, the government of Bangladesh has sought the help of UNDP and USAID to use its access to information (a2i) program for the development of the education sector. Access to information (a2i) program aims to make teaching and learning more effective and enjoyable for both students and teachers using ICTs. The most remarkable transformation was empowerment of teachers who were trained to create multimedia content independently, rather than depending on curriculum and multimedia experts. The government soon sought a2i’s support to design a USD 40 million educational transformation program to establish MMCs in over 23,000 secondary schools, madrassas and junior colleges and train nearly 70,000 teachers by 2014.
To better understand how information systems are used in educational institutes, three cases were analyzed. In Adamjee Cantonment College, almost all the aspects of the college are currently under single information system software that ensures all the aspects of the college is going as per schedule. The college makes apt use of biometric identification, communication through text messages and intends to make us of OMR reader, E-payment service and attendance management systems. In the e-learning site Shikkok.com, online tutorials are provided to facilitate free online education and high-quality courses in Bengali language to rural and disadvantaged students in Bangladesh and India. Onnorokom Pathshala, another case considered, is trying to come up with an android app to cater to the mobile internet market. So far they are providing their services through their Youtube channel.

Interactive Technologies for Improving Quality of Education to Build Collabor...ijsrd.com
Today with advancement in Information Communication Technology (ICT) the way the education is being delivered is seeing a paradigm shift from boring classroom lectures to interactive applications such as 2-D and 3-D learning content, animations, live videos, response systems, interactive panels, education games, virtual laboratories and collaborative research (data gathering and analysis) etc. Engineering is emerging with more innovative solutions in the field of education and bringing out their innovative products to improve education delivery. The academic institutes which were once hesitant to use such technology are now looking forward to such innovations. They are adopting the new ways as they are realizing the vast benefits of using such methods and technology. The benefits are better comprehensibility, improved learning efficiency of students, and access to vast knowledge resources, geographical reach, quick feedback, accountability and quality research. This paper focuses on how engineering can leverage the latest technology and build a collaborative learning environment which can then be integrated with the national e-learning grid.

AN OVERVIEW OF CLOUD COMPUTING FOR E-LEARNING WITH ITS KEY BENEFITSijistjournal
Education is a necessary human virtue and essential for society because it reflects the personality of the human being in our society. The effective way of teaching gives the quality of education and advance learning such as e-learning to the learners and also a high quality of teaching to the tutors. Information Technology (IT) plays a significant role in field of education. Now days, E-learning and M-learning have become very popular trends of the education technology riot. E-Learning is the new tool related to the virtualized distance learning by means of electronic communication mechanisms, specifically the Internet to enhance the traditional learning system. An E-learning system generally needs a lot of software and hardware resources. Today, many educational institutions cannot afford such investments and environments therefore cloud computing is the finest solution. The Cloud Computing environment rises swiftly as a natural platform to provide support to e-Learning systems. Hence, this paper presents the impact on using cloud computing for e-learning which contains an innovative environment resulting from both virtual and personal learning environments. This paper introduces concepts of e-learning and cloud computing infrastructure with their key benefits.
Information and communication technologies (ICT) have become commonplace entities in all aspects of life. In the 21st century world is moving rapidly into digital media and information, so the role of ICT in education is very important .Higher education in the country is experiencing a major transformation in terms of access, equity and quality. ICT helps to share availability of best practices and best course material in education. ICT based education causes changes in the educational objectives in the conception of the teaching and learning process. In this regard the paper addresses the integration of ICTs in various aspects of higher education in the present scenario.

Refresher Course in the Library & information Science conducted by the UGC-HRDC, Univesity of Calcutta and Organised by the Department of Library & Information Science, Univesity of Calcutta
Introducing Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) to academia. Primarily zeroing in on patent and copyright. Intricacies of creativity and copyright in academia is elaborated.
New century calls for new innovation system. Instead of individualistic closed innovation we require participative open innovation or collective creation. Closed innovation system is not adequate to solve the societal issues. However openness of open knowledge doesn't necessarily mean free access or free ride of technologies rather it aims at non-discriminatory access of technologies that may be used by IP licensing. Unlike open knowledge open innovation demands three types of open innovations like- Out side-in, Inside-out and joint innovation. Almost all big organizations like IBM, Microsoft, Philips have embraced open innovation to make better , improvised and innovative product to solve various social problems.
IPR in Life Sciences :Unlock & Harness Your Innovative Potentialsabuj kumar chaudhuri
Invited lecture on IPR in Life Sciences :Unlock & Harness Your Innovative Potential on 9th January 2017 in the Refresher Course in Life Sciences of the UGC-HRDC (University of Calcutta)(thrust area: Challenges and options in Life Science Research in the developing world today) for college and university teachers during Dec.23- Jan.13, 2017 at the Department of Zoology, University of Calcutta , 35, Ballygunge Circular Road, Kolkata-700019.
Creativity is an enigmatic issue. It is influenced and governed by so many determinants that it is yet to be defined properly. It has both philosophical and functional perspectives as well. Presentation is dealt with only its functional side which is manifested in tangible forms. IPR and life sciences has very complex relationship which became more complex with the emerging biotechnology and priority of the industries. Patenting life science invention from its ideation stage to granting a patent has been lucidly demonstrated in this presentation.
Invited lecture in 117th Orientation Programme of the Human Resource Development Centre (HRDC) , UGC of the University of Calcutta.
Creativity is the basis of our very existence on earth. It is also the precursor of societal progress. The culture of instilling of creativity, invention and innovation makes a society enriched than another society. Valley of Death is an inevitable step that has to pass through every invention before it becomes innovation that diffused to the society in the course of time. Creativity has two dimensions-one is philosophical another is functional. Creativity is based upon novel idea regardless of types and the reason which initiated the process. Even the most novel can not be protected until it is not manifested tangibly. Presentation has focused on four different basic forms of IPR i.e., Patent, Trademark, Industrial Design and copyright with suitable real life examples.
By 1984 Paper Libraries Would Disappear, Except at Museums...We yet to have any…sabuj kumar chaudhuri
Invited Lecture on “Complementary nature of conventional and digital library in modern information dissemination system” on 22nd December at NIRJAFT, ICAR Kolkata
Whether traditional libraries or digital library or a judicious combination of those two will stay in the years to come or not- it is not only difficult to answer but also paradoxical to our socio-economic and cultural priorities. But whatever form survives or whatever policy has made for their sustenance in the future it must be aimed at holistic societal progress and reflect the aspiration of the community they serve.
Copyright has always been very confusing in academia across the continents. It will remain so forever with the changing technological as well as socio-cultural perspectives from time to time. Among all, teacher-learner exceptions are considered to be the most debatable one. Academicians should always promote and practice fair use of the copyrighted materials in academia and scholarship. This is the basic premise to encourage creativity and proliferation of knowledge in the years to come. File sharing through internet, use of social media for academic work, submitting scholarly works in cloud has blurred the difference between copyright owners, creators and copyright file keepers or servers. Identifying, establishing and enforcing copyright for scholarly digital content gradually has become a challenging task. There can not be any simple solution to the present complexities to satisfy all kind of stakeholders in academia. Balancing al the stakeholders interests is the only key to keep afloat in the ocean of new scholarly ecosystem.
Copyright, an important variant of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) is too complex to tackle after the inception of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Many cases like imprisonment of a Columbian researcher for sharing a research article online, closing of Rameshawari photocopy centre in Delhi University by Oxford University Publishing (OUP) and Cambridge University press in the charge of unfair dealing with their books, several cases of passing off, debate on the ownership of selfie taken by a female Celebes black crested monkeys are the reflections of this complexity. Creativity is the only thing without which a nation cannot be advanced. All creations must be protected and rewarded by copyright. Particularly scholarly communication in developing countries like India suffer a lot when we almost compel to publish our research outputs funded by the governmental research funders in commercial publishing houses. Copyright act, 1957 says about various types of activities that amount to fair use. Four factor analyses for fair use should be religiously followed to keep us within the limit of law. Cases of plagiarism is still rampant in educational arena here in India. Digital Rights Management (DRM) has been devised as a bunch of copyright protection technologies to ascertain the rights information of copyrighted materials being accessed in electronic environment. Internet has brought information revolution in the world but the same internet is being used for violating copyrights for distribution of counterfeited and pirated digital contents. Even people misuse BitTorrent, a communication protocol meant for for sharing large files between peer to peers and YouTube, predominantly a video sharing community and violate copyright laws for unfair use of copyrighted resources. Until we change our mindset and our moral ethics towards creativity and respect copyright of others, no plagiarised tool or any such device or mechanism can clean the academic environment and scholarly communication which in fact detrimental to progression of a nation in long term.
Invited Lecture on 8th December 2015 in Orientation Programme of UGC-HRDC of Jadavpur University, Kolkata, West Bengal>>>
Invention is the key to economic development of any nation. No invention can be diffused to the desired level in the society until it is successfully innovated and induce further invention. Creation of any new idea, conceptualization of the idea to its production of new product or process to solve a specific problem-in every stage requires protection by Intellectual property rights (IPR). Protection of invention and innovation through various forms of IPR particularly patents not only act as a lever of economic growth but also minimise the social inequality in the society. Creating a climate of invention, subsequent innovation protected by IPR will help us to recreate our future.
History of public libraries in West Bengal dates back to almost 200 years or so. Presently there are almost 2500 public libraries including Govt., and Govt. sponsored libraries at different tiers. Over the years unplanned growth, dismal services and poor infrastructure made the public library system in West Bengal not only ineffective but also defunct tool to promote mass education, literacy and social awareness. The situation calls for a comprehensive mapping of the whole public library system in West Bengal to make it an effective and inclusive tool for social change and social innovation.
Building green library is a well-informed and conscious choice and responding to environmentalism. In fact, library has long been practising ‘reuse’ principle as one of the three basic principles of sustainability. We just need to address other two i.e., reduce and recycle through its actions and choices. Present study has closely examined the potential aspects of the library for greening through which we can realise sustainable library and information services. Finally it is concluded with notes for further research challenges for this complex as well as economically, philosophically, culturally and climatologically challenging issue.

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.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
