The Annexure to the toolkit provides a training plan for a 3 day workshop to transact this toolkit for a group of teachers. It is possible to transact the toolkit contents at one stretch over three days. Alternatively, the three days could be spaced out over period, this would allow participants to work on the OER creation and re-purposing using the different FOSS applications that they have learnt in one session, and present the OER in the next interaction. Each session could also have discussions on the problems faced by the teachers while working on the OER creation during the interim period and solutions to address these.
The Annexure also provides details of the FOSS applications used in this toolkit, including user manuals and tutorials and references for additional reading. The Annexure provides alternative software applications on platforms other than the Ubuntu GNU/Linux system - this includes the Windows Operating system on your desktop, Android system on your mobile phone and the Web).
A list of resources referred to, in making this toolkit, is provided in the Annexure.
Training plan for a 3 day workshop on the toolkit
A three day (3 days is the minimum period required for a training program on the toolkit, longer periods will give more time for practice and participant presentation cum review of the OER created using the FOSS tools) plan for training teachers on the toolkit is provided in the table below. The following points govern this plan:
- Each day has been divided into 4 sessions, two pre-lunch and two post-lunch to keep it simple. Each session can be around 1.5 to 2 hours, the flexibility is required to cater to diverse learner contexts.
- The content for each session should be taken from the relevant chapters of the toolkit
- The training methodology should be a mix of demonstration/presentation by faculty, hands-on session for participants followed by a review of each session. If the workshop can be planned over 4-5 days, then there can be a sharing and feedback session after each OER session is complete. Participants can either work alone, or in teams of 2-3 participants. If participants work in teams, they can support collaborative working/learning on one topic per team. Teams can also provide feedback to OER created/presented by other teams.
- Assessment consists of session-wise participant feedback, collected at the end of the workshop, portfolio created by the participants (PDL) and published on-line. Faculty can evaluate the portfolios and provide qualitative feedback to the participants for further improvement. Peer feedback from other participants can also be quite useful, this may require more time.
