VIRTUAL LEARNING SET TO BE REALITY IN GOVT COLLEGES
by Ragaavendra R 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

VIRTUAL LEARNING SET TO BE REALITY IN GOVT COLLEGES The popularity of online courses and virtual learning all over the world seems to have caught the imagination of the Department of Collegiate Education (DCE) in the State as well. As many as seven government first grade colleges in Bengaluru are part of a tentative list of colleges selected for a pilot 'Virtual Class Programme' in the State. These video lectures on a variety of topics are aimed at supplementing the already available resources like libraries and laboratories. In all, about 100 colleges with at least three colleges in each district will be selected for the programme. It will be extended to all colleges in the State depending on the response. At present, the department is in the process of collecting and recording lectures on a number of subjects recommended by a group of experts. The department already has a bank of as many as 600 lectures and more are being downloaded and recorded. The topics of these lectures range across subjects such as commerce, management, history, economics, physics, chemistry, mathematics, botany, environment science, spoken English and fundamentals of computers to name a few, said Govinde Setty, a nodal officer from DCE, supervising the project. Officials claim that virtual classes will go a long way in helping students especially in times when there is a shortage of faculty or for self study. Not so expensive Information officer of DCE, N Ramesh Reddy said, "Funds required for the project in each college is very less. The content is freely available online from where we have downloaded them, while others are being recorded. This will be uploaded on a computer from where they can be transfered to a pen drive. Besides, we will also try to make them available on smart phones through WiFi. Each college requires around Rs 25,000 for the project," he said. Sandhya M, a final year student from Maharani Arts, Commerce and Management College said the concept of virtual learning would be an additional tool that will greatly help in her studies. Pilot Plan Maharani Arts, Commerce and Management College; Maharani Science College for Women; Government Arts College (all situated around KR Circle); RC College of Commerce and Management, Basaveshwara Circle; government first grade colleges in Vijayanagara, KR Puram and Yelahanka are the seven colleges selected for the pilot plan, Setty said.

The OA policy of the Gates Foundation
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Friends: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has announced its open access policy which will require all fundees to make their papers open access IMMEDIATELY on publication without any embargo. Also fundees are expected to deposit their papers in a specified repository. Please see: http://www.gatesfoundation.org/How-We-Work/General-Information/Open-Access-… http://www.scidev.net/global/publishing/news/gates-open-access-policy.html Arun BILL & MELINDA GATES FOUNDATION OPEN ACCESS POLICY The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is committed to information sharing and transparency. We believe that published research resulting from our funding should be promptly and broadly disseminated. We have adopted an Open Access policy that enables the unrestricted access and reuse of all peer-reviewed published research funded, in whole or in part, by the foundation, including any underlying data sets. As of January 1, 2015 our Open Access policy will be effective for all new agreements. During a two-year transition period, publishers will be permitted to apply up to a 12 month embargo period on the accessibility of the publication and its underlying data sets. This embargo period will no longer be allowed after January 1, 2017. Our Open Access policy contains the following elements: 1. *Publications Are Discoverable and Accessible Online.* Publications will be deposited in a specified repository(s) with proper tagging of metadata. 2. *Publication Will Be On “Open Access” Terms.* All publications shall be published under theCreative Commons Attribution 4.0 Generic License <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/> (CC BY 4.0) or an equivalent license. This will permit all users of the publication to copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format and transform and build upon the material, including for any purpose (including commercial) without further permission or fees being required. 3. *Foundation Will Pay Necessary Fees.* The foundation would pay reasonable fees required by a publisher to effect publication on these terms. 4. *Publications Will Be Accessible and Open Immediately.* All publications shall be available immediately upon their publication, without any embargo period. An embargo period is the period during which the publisher will require a subscription or the payment of a fee to gain access to the publication. We are, however, providing a transition period of up to two years from the effective date of the policy (or until January 1, 2017). During the transition period, the foundation will allow publications in journals that provide up to a 12-month embargo period. 5. *Data Underlying Published Research Results Will Be Accessible and Open Immediately.* The foundation will require that data underlying the published research results be immediately accessible and open. This too is subject to the transition period and a 12-month embargo may be applied . -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Science reports India's OA policy
by Subbiah Arunachalam 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Friends: Earlier this week, we saw the news story on the DST-DBT mandatory OA policy that appeared in Nature. Now Science has also carried the news. Please see < http://news.sciencemag.org/asiapacific/2014/12/india-s-major-science-funder… >. The important question now is: When will other funding agencies in India come up with a similar (or even better) mandatory OA policy? Please write to UGC, DRDO, DAE, Dept of Space, ICMR, and other agencies investing taxpayers' money on R&D and request them to adopt an OA policy as soon as possible. CSIR-URDIP, Pune, has already set up Science Central, a central repository that would harvest papers deposited in institutional repositories of all institutions under DST and DBT. Science Central is similar to CSIR Central which harvests all repositories of CSIR labs. We are indebted to URDIP for this service.

One Million Preprints and Counting
by Subbiah Arunachalam 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Friends: Hear from the horse's mouth about what motivated Paul Ginsparg to set up arXiv, the preprint server to make research papers in physics open as they were, so to say, born, and how arXiv grew to expand to math, computer science and even biology < http://www.the-scientist.com//?articles.view/articleNo/41677/title/Q-A--One… >. arXiv, the preprint server was born before the Internet and today it boasts more than a million preprints. Hats of to you Paul. Arun -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
