Can eBooks Satisfy? Creating Content for ICT-enabled Classrooms Join the discussion on the EduTechDebate.org website Infodev | 10 August 2009 | Washington, D.C., United States While there is much effort & focus on deploying educational hardware in the developing world, much less hype and attention is focusing on the content students will use once these systems are in the hands of hungry young minds.. How can educational systems, and the stakeholders that support them, adapt existing and new content onto these devices? Will this adaptation be able to challenge the existing income streams and vested interests of current content production & dissemination models? And should this content focus on ebooks and other electronic media the replicates existing content, or is this an opportunity to change the way in which content is created, teacher's educate, and students learn? During the Human Development Network webinar, "eBooks & Affordable Access to Digital Content for Teachers, Health Care Workers & Agricultural Extension Agents in Southern Africa", which looked at lessons from the IADP Affordable Access Initiative Partnership with African Universities, a sidebar conversation came about on the instant message board that was associated with the webinar. From this conversation came a very interesting questions: * What is the impact of open access resources for primary schools on the current educational content creation models? * Will educational systems, and the stakeholders that support them, be able to adapt existing and new content onto these devices? * Might this adaptation facilitate a more egalitarian content creation structure, challenging the existing pricing structures and vested interests of current curriculum production & dissemination models? Please join us for what we all expect to be a lively and informative conversation.

[ELF (E-Group for Engineering Librarians)] No PhD, MPhil at open universities...
by K.R.Mulla, LIS Professional from India, working as Librarian 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

[http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/no-phd-mphil-at-open-universiti…] It had announced three years ago that these degrees would be considered as an option to NET or SET In a setback to the country’s 14 open universities, the University Grants Commission, or UGC, has barred them from conducting research programmes, namely PhD and MPhil. Pointing out the declining quality of research projects in a “distance learning” system, UGC has stopped registration for PhD and MPhil programmes at all the 14 open universities, including the India Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). This has sparked angry reactions from academics and students attached to open universities who believe the “declining quality of research” is a national concern and not confined to open universities. Three years back, UGC had announced that degrees like MPhil and PhD would be considered as an option to the National Eligibility Test (NET) or State Eligibility Test (SET) for recruitment of full-time teachers at colleges. After this announcement, thousands of students registered for MPhil and PhD programmes at open universities. So it has come as a surprise that UGC has not only revoked this decision but also banned research projects at open universities. A notice to this effect has been put up on UGC’s website. -- Posted By K.R.Mulla, LIS Professional from India, working as Librarian to ELF (E-Group for Engineering Librarians) at 8/10/2009 03:14:00 AM -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Rename professional names
by Dr.Dineshan K 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Dear Professional Colleagues, It is high time to think of a structural change in the name by which each grade of professional is to be known. Librarians of different grades are known by different names. Also, is the name ‘librarian’ itself is suitable at present? There is a tendency to equate the professionals with clerks who are still known as Assistants (Therefore the name Assistant, Deputy etc are still prevalent). The ghost of Mecaulay is still alive. With the drastic changes in the professional duties and responsibilities it is high time to rename the librarians on par with managers. There is no meaning in calling librarians as Library Assistant, Assistant Librarian, Deputy Librarian etc. Even the positive step taken by the UGC in renaming the teaching positions is not seen in the case of librarians. I may suggest that Librarians in Universities and Colleges be renamed as: 1. *General Manager (Information)-University Librarian* *2. Administrative Manager (Information)- Deputy Librarian* *3. Information Manager- Assistant Librarian/College Librarian* *4. Information Officer - Professional Assistant * Librarians in special libraries be known by the name ‘Scientists (Information)’ Professional colleagues and Professional Associations have to discuss the matter right now so that a positive change may be brought to our profession. With regards, -- Dr.Dineshan Koovakkai Calicut University Study Centre P.T.Usha Road Kozhikode-673 032 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

[http://www.expressbuzz.com/edition/story.aspx?Title=VTU+plans+its+own+%E2%8…] BANGALORE: It has been 10 years since the Visvesvaraya Technological University(VTU) was established to impart technical education across the state. Yet the university has not made its mark in research activities. Towards this end, the university has decided to set up its own research institute on the lines of IIT or IISc. To draw up a blueprint for its own IIT, VTU had set up a committee under the chairmanship of Goa University former Vice- Chancellor B S Sonde. The committee report - which lists the vision, mission, aims and objectives of VIAT - has been approved by VTU’s executive council, the highest decision-making body. As per the report, VIAT will be a complementary institution and not compete with the affiliated colleges and other PG departments of the university. Under the current proposal, a main campus is to be established at Muddenahalli in Chikballapur district, the birthplace of Sir M Visvesvaraya. Sub-campuses will be subsequently established in a phased manner in Belgaum, Gulbarga and Mysore. -- Posted By K.R.Mulla, LIS Professional from India, working as Librarian to ELF (E-Group for Engineering Librarians) at 8/06/2009 03:36:00 AM -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
