9th Annual Prof. G. Ram Reddy Memorial Lecture Dr. G. Madhavan Nair, Chairman, Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and Secretary, Deptt. of Space, Govt. of India delivered the Ninth Annual Prof. G. Ram Reddy Memorial Lecture on “Development of Space Programme and its Impact on Education” at IGNOU on 2nd July 2004.

He announced that through EDUSAT, the educational satellite, all major Indian universities, IITs and medical colleges will be provided with multimedia, multicasting facilities through which teaching by experts can be made accessible to the needy, in any part of the country, in real time or offline basis. Edusat (GSAT-3), the first satellite of the Education Satellite System, will be launched by the third flight of the indigenous launch vehicle GSLV in the second half of 2004, he said. The satellite is specially configured to have multiple beams covering different regions of India and is expected to meet substantially the educational requirements of different parts of the country.

Dr. Nair added that the scarcity of qualified science teachers can be overcome by beaming the lectures and transmitting the notes on the tele-link to far-flung schools. Experiments from science labs also could be transmitted through this media. The tele-education terminal at remote areas can transform into adult literacy classes as well as impart training to farmers and artisans for improving their knowledge base and skills. This will also enable interlinking of database and libraries and effective dissemination of information, he concluded.

H.P. Dikshit, VC; Prof. S.C. Garg, Pro- VC and Prof. A.S. Narang, Registrar, IGNOU

Prof. H. P. Dikshit, VC, IGNOU highlighted the collaboration between ISRO and IGNOU in bringing about a qualitative change in general, and higher education in particular, in the country. The programme was telecast live on “Gyan Darshan” the educational TV channel of India from the Electronic Media Production Centre of IGNOU.

Prof. H.P. Dikshit voiced his concern for the unreached population of the country and said that reaching the unreached is the mission of IGNOU and several steps have already been taken in this mission in collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Shetty emphasized the importance and relevance of the cardiology programme in the country. We, in India, have only 60-70 cardiologists trained every year, whereas the demand is for 4,000 to 5,000, he noted. Hence, properly equipped coronary units with cardiologists are required to reach a wider cross- section of society.

On this occasion, Prof. S.C. Garg, Pro VC, IGNOU too noted that there is a wide gap between cardiac health needs of the community and the availability of trained and experienced cardiologists in the country. Prof. A. K. Agarwal, Director, School of Health Sciences (SOHS), IGNOU pointed

The BIT programme is offered in collaboration with Edexel (UK) and provides a thorough and exhaustive insight into IT covering major aspects of IT components including practical skills, he informed.

Prof. Dikshit advised learners to apply their knowledge to diverse areas by looking for computer-enabled jobs, for example. Currently, there is a dearth of professionals who know French or German though the jobs in these countries are many. “As a part of the placement activities in IGNOU, the five best students of Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) programme were offered placement in ICT Resource Centre of IGNOU”, announced Prof. S.C. Garg, Pro- VC. IGNOU has also been bringing out a placement brochure and it has initiated the process of forming an Alumni Association of IGNOU Students.

Revised MCA The MCA programme of IGNOU was launched in 1994. As the area of computer science is constantly changing and these courses were developed a decade ago, the School of Computer and Information Sciences (SOCIS) felt the need to upgrade/ revise/ introduce new courses in accordance with the emerging trends/ technologies and the feedback received from various sources like experts, students, academic counsellors and the faculty. The revised MCA programme will be on offer from January 2005 onwards.

The high points of this programme are : (i) The first year courses are aimed at skill development in computers using various technologies, the second year is more focused on providing a conceptual framework along with the practical component and the third year provides the specialisation. (ii) The syllabus/courses reflect the emerging trends and technologies in the field. (iii) The entire 6th semester is spared for the project- work where the student can go to any place and can work upon the project as per her/ his choice.

The broad objective of this revised MCA programme is to prepare graduate students for productive careers in software industry and academia by providing an outstanding environment for teaching and research in the core and emerging areas of the discipline. The programme’s thrust is on giving the students a thorough grounding in theoretical and application oriented courses relevant to the latest computer software development. The programme emphasizes the application of software technology to solve mathematical, computing, communications/ networking, defence- related and commercial problems.

(Sunaina Kumar) Editor

Madam,

Dear Mr. Bhavesh,

I’m interested in doing the P.G. Certificate in Copyediting and Proofreading (PGCCP) of IGNOU. I’m a science graduate and have English as a subject up to pre-degree level. But I have an MBA from IGNOU besides a engineering degree in electronics. Since you have mentioned English to be a subject at graduation level for PGCCP, am I eligible to do the course?

Congratulations! You have passed BTS in first division. We pursued your case with SR & E and your grade card alongwith the provisional certificate has been sent to you.

We wish you all success in your future endeavours.

Deepak Bhatia Chennai.

Madam, I came to know that IGNOU has started a course in Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). I’m a graduate and interested to do a course in IPR. Am I eligible for that?

Please suggest.

Dear Mr. Bhatia, We regret to inform you that as per the University policy, once approval of the Academic Council has been obtained it is not prudent to change the criterion for admission.

Madam, I have completed my MCA in the year 2003 from IGNOU and got a job in Wipro Technologies. I’m really thankful to IGNOU for providing me such good education and base on which I can go further in my career.

Faiz Ahmed.

Bangalore.

Arindam Jha. Ranchi Dear Mr. Arindam, IGNOU has developed two programmes in IPR i.e. P.G. Diploma in Intellectual Property Rights (PGDIRP) and Awareness Course on Intellectual Property Rights (NIP).

You are eligible for both the programmes. You can have further details about it from our website www.ignou.ac.in or from the Regional Centre.

Madam, I have done B.Sc. in Physics. I’m interested to do diploma in Civil Engineering from IGNOU. Can I do it?

Dear Mr. Ahmed, Congratulations! We wish you all success in your life and career.

Madam, I’m a student of MBA vide enrolment no. 931188390. I need certain clarifications regarding the choice of project work for MBA. Am I supposed to choose a project work from the area of my specialisation?

P. Adison Kakinada

Maninderjit Dogra.

Jamnagar Dear Maninderjit IGNOU has launched two diploma programmes in Civil Engineering (DCLE) and Electrical & Mechanical Engineering (DEME) for army personnel from this year.

We regret to inform you that you are not eligible to do these Programmes.

Madam,

You can select any project work from any specialisation as per norms of the project work. It has no relevance for the specialisation you have chosen for MBA.

Thank you for taking speedy action in sending me the ‘Academic Programmes’ of 2004. It would not only guide me in choosing a subject of my interest but would also benefit several of my friends and colleagues in Indian Army.

Madam, I have successfully completed my Bachelor’s in Tourism Studies (BTS) from IGNOU in December 2002. But, till today I’ve not received my grade card or provisional certificate. As I want to study further, I need these urgently.

Can you please help?

Bhavesh Kumar.

Manama, Bahrain.

C/O 56 A.P.O Dear Mridul, We are glad to know that you have received our ‘Academic Programmes’ booklet and it was of help to you and your friends. Do stay in touch. All the best.

Newsletter HOW TO STUDY How to approach your studies: It would be good for you to go through the Programme Guides as well as the Handbooks provided by the University. This will help you to know about the facilities being extended and how you can make best use of these in your learning. That is, you should have an idea of what to expect from the system and how best to use the support being provided.

• • • •

Quasi-permanent separation: To bridge your semi-permanent separation from your teacher and to enable you to take advantage of the flexibilities provided in the DDL system, provision for Face-to-Face interaction has been made. Moreover, you can contact your teachers at the Headquarters through phone and email. However, the onus for your learning is on you.

You must make full use of the flexibility, facilities and innovativeness.

You must keep copies of each of your assignments and file them in order, separately for each course. While submitting your assignment at your Study Centre / Programme Centre, you must insist on obtaining an acknowledgement. In case you send your assignment by post, keep the registration slip as proof. In case of any difficulty or unconvincing response at Study Centre, please contact your Regional Centre or the Headquarters.

Normally, you should get back your Tutor Marked Assignment within 45 days. In case you do not receive your evaluated TMAs with tutor comments in the stimulated period, you should check with the Study Centre Coordinator.

Once you receive the evaluated assignment responses, go through tutor comments.. A careful reading of the comments should give you an idea as to how you can improve your responses in future.

Adhere to schedule of operations: Various activities in ODL system are time bound and the details are given in the programme guides and the handbooks sent to you. Adherence to Schedule of Operations shall help you enormously in completion of the courses. As a thumb rule, if you study three hours a day regularly, you should be successful in the minimum stipulated time.

Studying at your pace and place: You can learn at your pace and place, but it would help you if you periodically revise what you have learnt. This would also enable you to assess as to how much remains to be done. The DE system provides for an in-built teacher in the Self Instructional Materials (SIMs). Your pace of learning could be faster and more effective if you abide by the instructions given to you in the SIMs and follow the sequence and steps suggested therein, as the objective of these access devices is to regulate your pace of learning.

Taking notes: In SIMs, some space has been provided to take important notes. You must answer/solve problems in SAQs or TQs yourself rather than looking for the solutions at the end of the units.

Using media effectively: Audio-visual learning is faster and can be more effective. That is why multi-media is one of the integral components of our multiple media instructional package. For complementing your learning with the help of multi-media effectively, you should visit your study centre for counselling and insist that your counselor show A/V programmes. Such visits will also help you obtain the latest information on broadcast and telecast of programmes and tele-conferences being held. Now IGNOU has a 24 hr TV Channel called Gyan Darshan and a countrywide network of FM radio stations. You should ask your cable operators to beam Gyan Darshan.

(In case it is not possible for you to visit your SCs for some reason, you can procure our cassettes/CDs from the University for convenient viewing.)

Preparing Assignment Responses: The separation between the teacher and the taught in ODL system is bridged through dialogue established by continuous assessment. Your assignment responses provide an opportunity to your counsellor to guide you and pace your learning depending on your progress. Therefore, you must write your assignment yourself, in your own words, depending on the scope of every question. In some questions, you might be required to give a brief outline while in others you may be asked to give your justifications/demonstrate your skills and knowledge/give detailed description, etc. It is also possible that you may be required to refer to a particular source of information or data and present your analysis. If possible, discuss implications and suggest application and/or give illustrations.

When you have answered the assignments, pause for a while and recheck your responses to make sure that: •

22

the language is your own, simple and comprehensible;

•

it covers all the relevant aspects and with expected details; the content is accurate and relevant; the presentation is logical and clear; the main points are well supported by examples/arguments/illustrations; and the response has been neatly typed or legibly written.

Learning from Counselling and Peer Group: In order to make best use of the counselling sessions, you should read the relevant units before going for the counselling session. This will enable you to have useful interaction with your counsellor and peer group. Participate in the discussion with an open mind. Take note of important points identified by other peer group members and the counselor. Do not hesitate to clarify doubts, even if they are trivial.

Taking the Term-end Examination: In our system of education, career prospects are influenced by the performance in examinations. So you should approach examinations with some caution. However, these should not cause anxiety.

Preparing for the Examinations: The surest way to success in examination is to conscientiously employ effective study techniques over a period of time. For example, if you follow the tips provided here your chances of success will improve. If you follow them, you will certainly remember more, have a better understanding, and be able to organize your ideas quickly and effectively.

Revision of text materials plays a vital role in your preparation for examinations. The two good reasons for doing regular revisions right from the start are: • You may not have enough time to revise everything you have studied in a course/programme at the last minute.

• You will find the later materials easier to study as you may have already had a firm understanding of what precedes them.

On the Examination Day: When you receive the question paper: • Read the instructions and the question paper right through very carefully paying attention to each question.

• Be objective and don’t try to twist the question to suit your convenience.

• Be sure of precisely what the questions demand of you. (Look at the key verbs. They will tell you what kind of answer you are expected to give).

• Budget your time i.e. you should carefully allocate your time according to the weightage given to each question.

• Plan your answer (if possible even before you actually present it, try to have a logical well organized skeleton outline).

• Form a sense of priority i.e. you should begin by answering your best question first.

Newsletter Profiles of Gold Medallists of 15 th Convocation We are pleased to publish some of the profiles of Gold Medallists of the 15th Convocation.

Some more responses to interviews are given here to provide incentive and inspiration to our learners.

Chandrima Chaudhuri Chandrima Chaudhuri is the gold medallist in Master in Arts in Distance Education (MADE). She was a hard working and sincere student who completed and submitted all her assignments on time.

She believes that IGNOU’s learner-centric approach and her regular hours of study were the secret of her success. She consulted books on Distance Education from the National Library of Kolkata as reference material.

She is of the opinion that one must inculcate self- confidence to study on one’s own in the distance education system.

Deepa Joshi Deepa Joshi was awarded the gold medal for Master in Library & Information Science (MLIS). ‘I worked hard to achieve this’ says Deepa. As she was working in a school she dedicated the early morning and evening hours to study. She did a thorough study of IGNOU’s study material and consulted some additional reference material as well. She is satisfied with the support services provided by the University. She is of the opinion that IGNOU’s study material is sufficient to acquire an in-depth knowledge of the subject. She intends to continue her studies further with the University.

Dr. Kuljeet Kaur Dr. Kuljeet Kaur is a gold medallist in the PG Diploma in Maternal and Child Health.

She believes that reading regularly at home and at the medical college library besides attending practicals is the key to her success.

She feels that Distance Education is a good way of improving one’s skills and knowledge while pursuing one’s career.

Pankaj Kumar Mehta Pankaj Kumar Mehta received a gold medal for PG Diploma in Financial Management. Though he was quite sure to top the list from his region, the gold medal was a dream come true for him. He used to study at night after working during the day. He made an in-depth study of IGNOU’s study materials by taking notes of important points and also consulted reference materials in the field of finance. He suggests that some current issues related to business and economics should

be added to the study material to make learning contemporary.

He believes that IGNOU is one of the best universities in the world.

Kiran Bala Kiran Bala is the gold medallist in PG Diploma in Translation. Married and working, she made it a point to study for four hours daily. She went through the study material provided by IGNOU in depth and completed all her assignments on time. Besides this she also consulted certain reference material. As the study centre was far away, she faced some difficulties in commuting. She is of the opinion that there is no short cut to success and one has to work hard for it.

Grace Lobo Grace Lobo was awarded the gold medal for PG Diploma in Higher Education. Since she was not expecting the gold medal, it came as a pleasant surprise. She studied daily for two hours and prepared notes from her study material which she referred to during her preparations for the final examination. She also consulted different books on the subject. She feels that the quality of support services could be improved. She says that if you learn with conviction, you can win.

Ram Singh Ram Singh received the gold medal for Diploma in Tourism Studies. He says that he studied by preparing notes and following a routine. He consulted some reference books beside IGNOU’s study material for the course. Unemployment put certain hurdles in his way but he overcame them with determination. He suggested that IGNOU could improve the support services by increasing the number of staff in the study centre. He is of the opinion that only IGNOU can solve the question of distance by reaching out to the unreached in the field of education. He intends to continue his studies further with the university.

Kiranmayee Manchala Kiranmayee Manchala was awarded a gold medal for PG Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA). As she was putting in sincere efforts by regularly devoting 3 hours to study, she was quite sure of her success. Though she did not face any difficulty during her study from the university yet she feels that if the study material would be more timely available it could be of great help to students. She is of the opinion that there should be consulting academic faculty persons at the Regional centres to guide the students.
