IIT Bombay INVITATION TO BECOME A REMOTE CENTER (RC) FOR ISTE WORKSHOPS


Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Powai, Mumbai - 400 076
Empowerment of Students and Teachers through Synchronous & Asynchronous Instruction
The National Mission on Education through ICT (Funded by MHRD New Delhi)

INVITATION TO BECOME A REMOTE CENTER (RC) FOR ISTE WORKSHOPS


IIT Bombay is planning to scale up the project by conducting more such mega workshops in the near future. The number of existing IIT Bombay Remote Centers is inadequate at the moment, to accommodate the large number of potential participants.

A Remote Center acts as the intermediary between IIT Bombay and the participating teachers during the workshop. It is usually a reputed engineering college, with high academic standards, excellent infrastructure and good faculty with expertise and experience of handling workshop subjects, to guide the participants in Lab work.

IIT Bombay is looking to expand the number of Remote Centers in a big way, for the conduct of these workshops. IIT Kharagpur will now be our partner institution. We invite institutes/colleges to join us in the mission to empower teachers across the nation, and to become Remote Centers of IIT Bombay for future workshops. Read More About Project Background and Methodology

IIT Bombay funds the conduct of the workshops at the Remote Centers.

What is a Remote Center?

A Remote Center (RC) is a place from where the participants/people can interact with the instructor (faculty at IIT) who is conducting the course or delivering a lecture from IIT Bombay. The live lectures are transmitted at Remote Centers using A-VIEW software.

The Remote Center (RC) is usually a reputed engineering college with good facility and infrastructure.
It acts as a host for the virtual classroom environment created by A-VIEW.
The participant can attend the workshop in a RC close to his/her place. The RC minimizes the logistics of travel, boarding and lodging.

What is needed to become a Remote Center?

The institute wishing to become a remote center for IIT Bombay for the conducting the workshops, needs to have the following facilities :

It should be centrally located with a number of engineering colleges in the area, so as to attract a large number of participants.
It should have a well equipped classroom and labs with broadband internet connection, for a minimum of 50 participants.
The Classroom and labs should be equipped with overhead projector, audio system, well configured PCs, UPS to sustain Power.
Lodging and boarding facilities for participants, either in hostel or in a place near the campus*.
*This is not mandatory, especially if the Remote Center is in a large city with many local participants.

Faculty Center Coordinators are appointed at each RC, to handle the technology infrastructure and other operational logistics i.e taking care of common logistics arrangements such as classroom, audio-visual equipment, and arrangements for stay and food for participating teachers. Additionally, each subject specific workshop will require another faculty member to be nominated as the Workshop Coordinator for that subject. The workshop coordinator will be responsible for liaison with IIT Bombay faculty for that subject, and will conduct the lab and tutorial sessions at that RC. Some other nominations will also be required for the smooth functioning of the workshop. Download the details

A-VIEW Hardware/Software Requirements

The workshop will be transmitted using the AVIEW software which will require the equipment and bandwidth described below :

Internet Bandwidth (Mandatory) : Minimum 1Mbps stable internet connection with one public IP address is required. It should be connected to a computer in the classroom which will be used for A-VIEW transmission. This 1Mbps line should not be shared with other computers.

Check bandwidth here  (If you receive both download and upload bandwidth reading around 1Mbps, you are eligible)

Along with this internet bandwidth, your institute will require the following :

A well configured Personal Computer with minimum 2GB RAM. (It should have Windows XP or Windows 7 Operating System)
A Video Camera/Handy-cam which has Zoom-In Zoom-Out feature along with tripod. (Web-cam is not acceptable)
To connect video camera/handy-cam to PC (any one of the following) :
USB video capture device (If video camera/handy-cam has composite signal out)
USB/ PCI IEEE1394 Firewire device (If video camera/handy-cam has DV signal out)
At least one professional wired or wireless mike/microphone. (The microphone of headphone or a podium mike will not work efficiently for a large audience)
One professional audio mixer with single amplifier or two high watts audio amplifiers; each amplifier must be connected with two good speakers.
(Out of two audio amplifiers, one should be used for teacher audio, another for local participant’s audio and could pass the sounds clearly to the whole audience)
Latest version of A-VIEW Classroom software. (We will provide you before the workshop starts)
If your institute meets the above requirements

The Director/Principal of the Institute, or a faculty member designated to work as Center Coordinator, should download the  NOC & RCC nomination form  

Print these on the Institute Letter Head, fill up correct entries by pen, attest by Head/Principal of the institute, scan it and save in pdf file format.

(Do not modify original NOC & RCC nomination letter, just fill up all the required entries. Use 200dpi for scanning the attested forms, save in pdf file format and keep the file size limit below 250KB.)

If attested NOC and RCC Nomination letter is ready for your institute, Click here to register your institute to become a Remote Center of IIT Bombay

Those who are already a Remote Center of IIT Bombay, there is no need to register again. Click here to see the list of our existing Remote Centers
