Today Teaching and Learning are Changing

Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

Changing Concepts in
Communication
Systems of
communication have
evolved and matured,
from those oral traditions
to the earliest cuneiform
writings and all the way
up through books and
newspapers, to radio and
television

WWW

Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

Internet Changes world of Sharing

Today, the avenues
available to our quest
to gain and share
knowledge are
boundless, but Id like
to share with you my
own personal
favourites.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

WEB 2.0 changes the World of Learning

Web 2.0 enhances the
discovery and
manipulation of
information by
building virtual
applications in which
users participate. Social
bookmarking, a webbased service to save and
share electronic
resources,

Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

Knowledge sharing
Knowledge Sharing is an
activity through which
knowledge (i.e.,
information, skills, or
expertise) is exchanged
among people, friends,
families, communities
(e.g., Wikipedia), or
organization
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

Web-based teaching materials

Web-based teaching
materials are a subset of
computer-based training
(CBT) or electronic
learning (eLearning) used
to leverage the World
Wide Web for the
delivery to instructional
materials.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

Knowledge Management Systems

Support Knowledge sharing
Organizations have
recognized that knowledge
constitutes a valuable
intangible asset for creating
and sustaining competitive
advantages. Knowledge
sharing activities are
generally supported by
knowledge management
systems.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

Web-based teaching
To post course materials, which may include
text files, photographs, video and audio
clips, animations, etc.;
To create opportunities for communication
between teachers and learners by means of
forums, e-mails and chat rooms;
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

Designing of a Moodle course

Design the course as you wish
or need. The designing of a
Moodle course means designing
the course environment, adding
necessary tools and materials to
the course, and fixing the
settings of the course. Should
problems or questions arise,

please turn to the

educational technologist of
your faculty.

Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

10

Many matters remain in Designing Knowledge

Start managing your course.
Managing of a course causes the
manager (lecturer/faculty, a
department) no financial
expenses. Moodle can be
implemented in teaching fulltime and Open University degree
courses as well as in offering
continuing education, and as
suitable environment for
projects and workshops.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

Sharing knowledge is a Challenge

The sharing of knowledge
constitutes a major
challenge in the field of
knowledge management
because some employees
tend to resist sharing
their knowledge with the
rest of the organization

HOW I MADE IT
My love for Technology

Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

13

The simple beginning

Just writing a little of my knowledge on
www.articleset.com
www.articlesbase.com
Many views encouraging,
A long lecture many do not followed by many
want to review my talk, A marathon lecture on
Antibiotics, teaches me better
Just uploaded on www.slieshare.com
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

More Encouragement
People asking me to
write more on many
websites
Just started contributing
to
www.slideworld.org
www.scribd.com
www.authourstream.com
www.docstock .com

What I realised

In todays world,
eLearning is an
important part of
learning and
training
employees/
students.

Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

16

What are my challenges

One of the biggest challenges in course
design is creating a course consistent with
the organizations learning objectives. Often
courses are built around fuzzy objectives
where the expected outcome isnt quite
clear. Another issue is that the course
doesnt end up meeting the objectives.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

17

Best way to Improve our talents on

WORLD WIDE WEB
One of the best ways to
build good eLearning is
to get close to those who
are going to take the
courses. This is because
they often understand
the content in a different
way than the
organization does.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

18

To be partner to boost to my career

Joining editorial member on www.medmicrobes.com

I have made it

No commercial interests at any path of work

Most post graduates students and teachers benefited with
skills in making the Microbiology, can learn with a click of
Mouse

Explicit Knowledge and

Knowledge Sharing

Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

20

What skills are Needed to Share

Articulation: The ability of the user to define
what he needs.
Awareness: Awareness of the knowledge
available. The provider is encouraged to
make use of directories, maps, corporate
yellow pages, etc.
Access: Access to the knowledge.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

21

Complete what you mean to say

Completeness: Access to both
centrally managed and selfpublished knowledge. The
former is often more scrutinized
but takes longer to publish and
is not as hands-on (and
potentially relevant). Selfpublished information on the
other hand runs the risk of not
being as reliable.

Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

22

The Age of Visual Culture

We live in the age of the
camera in everyones
pocket and with more
than 2.5 billion camera
phones in use we are
entering a new dynamic
era around image
creation and content
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

23

Use an online service for slide sharing

There are several good online
services for sharing (and even
creating) slide-based
presentations. Slideshare.net is
one of the first and most mature
and like Zoho and the others
allows you to import/upload your
PowerPoint (or Keynote)
presentations to be converted to
their own sharing format.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

24

I get my feed back and Try to Correct and

Revise
Distance learning involves
interaction at a distance
between instructor and learners,
and enables timely instructor
reaction to learners. Simply
posting or broadcasting learning
materials to learners is not
distance learning. Instructors
must be involved in receiving
feedback from learners.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

25

E-Learning creation with optimism

E-Learning

It is not a cup of web pages! It is a

complex learning environment!
We need a possibility
professionally to create our
learning materials.
We need a professional attitude ,
which is compliment with all elearning relevant standards.

We need money ? NO
peoples! support
And lot of optimism

Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

26

What is the future of online sharing?

I think it is something
that is never really going
to slow down. Social
sharing is only growing in
speed and power and we
see it everyday in the
headlines throughout our
global news sources.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

28

Think Before Sharing the Contents

Take the time to think
about how you share your
content online. Do you take
a community driven
approach or do you just
move around your own
content? Sharing is caring
so show your audience and
your peers that you are
somewhat a team player.
Dr.T.V.Rao MD @ TMC Kollam India

29

Conflicts of Interests in Sharing

Systems based on
extrinsic rewards quickly
turn moral obligation into
acts of self-interest, and
could potentially destroy
the open provisioning of
knowledge in a
community (Wasko &
Faraj 2000: 170).
