I. Introduction

Conventional Classrooms Vs Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)

● Conventional Classrooms

The mainstay of our education system: it provides face to facegroup interaction, facilitates discussions, spontaneous questions,and synchronized attention of all students. It has stood the test oftime and its advantages are perhaps unparalleled. However, thedark side of the coin is that in conventional teaching, the courseschedule is heavily lecture oriented and the teacher speaks formost of the time in a class, leaving very little time for meaningfuldiscussions and interactions. Using the blended MOOCs programthe time of the lectures can be efficiently utilized for healthydiscussions, clearing the doubts of the students therebyconcentrating more on enhancing the problem solving ability of thestudents.

● MOOCs

The Blended MOOCs is an out-of-the-box and technology orientedalternative to our current educational system. MOOCs permit selfpaced learning, online discussion-forums, free interaction betweenlearners. It also permits the instructor to answer specific questionsand also clarify doubts among other things.

All the potential users of BLENDED MOOCs model of IIT BOMBAY isdivided into two classes. The first class includes the persons who canaccess IITBombayX site from the local university or institution level.These include the students as well as various members in the localadministration who are in charge of managing the execution of thecourses, such as the teachers and associates, coordinators, the head ofthe institute and the administrator in charge of the local systeminfrastructure.

Student: Student is the main learner of MOOC. He registers on the site,enrolls for different courses provided to him. Accordingly, he writes


8


different assignments and quizzes and is awarded with grades. Theprimary essence of IITBombayX is to provide the student with anenriched learning experience throughout the Blended MOOCs model,where the basic course content is covered by the materials onIITBombayX, and the evaluations and quiz results on the courseconstitute a credit to the final results.

Associate Teacher: Associate teacher of any particular institute canview the performance of his students who have enrolled for any courseunder him and accordingly award them with grades. One associateteacher can teach many different courses in any institute. Theseassociate teachers on the same logical level as the Instructor-in-Charge,with the exception that the associate teachers are allocated to aparticular course by the Instructor-in-Charge. The associate teachershave batches of students allocated to them, whose performances aremonitored by them.

Instructor-in-charge / Course Coordinator: He is the coursecoordinator for a particular course. He assigns that course to differentassociate teachers within his institute. Besides that, he can analyse theperformance of the students individually or the associate teachersworking under him.

Program Coordinator: He can decide the MOOC courses to be addedin his institute's curriculum. He assigns instructor-incharge for differentcourses. He can view the performance of all the students of his instituteon a course basis, or on a student basis. Accordingly, he access thesefeatures from his dashboard. He represents the body of administrationthat covers the execution of all the IITBombayX courses in the institute.

Head of the Institute: He represents his institute on IITBombayX and isresponsible for registration of his institute and appointing programcoordinator. He can view the performance of all the students of hisinstitute on a course-wise or student-wise basis. Besides, he cananalyse the overall performance of his institute on a regular basis.Accordingly, he has access to reports on the dashboard made availableto him through IITBombayX. Additionally, he can also compare theperformance of his institute with that of others as a rank, based onindividual courses.

MOOCs Course Coordinator: The MOOCs Course Coordinator is theperson who is incharge of creation and management of the individualcourses made available on IITBombayX. He can create the course,


9


define the course structure in terms of the week division of the course,and upload the videos. He also creates the practice examples for thestudents to work out and to grade the students, Additionally, he cancommunicate with the instructor in charge and incorporate additionalproblems and material in the course as per the former's suggestion.

Blended MOOCs Coordinator: The Blended MOOCs CourseCoordinator is in charge of managing the overall course activities of allthe courses on the IITBombayX MOOC system. He can monitor theprogress of the institutes on the different courses that are currentlyactive, as well as the performances and activities of the individualstudents. He can also download and review reports on a scheduledbasis for evaluation of performances on course wise, institute wise andother factors, such as enrolment behaviour, demographic patterns, andso on.

System Administrator: The system administrator is in charge ofmanaging the system performance and monitoring exception cases insystem behaviour, such as failures. He occasionally generates reportson features such as disk usage of course contents, the amount of databeing stored on the servers, registration and email statistics, and certainexception reports for events such as disk usage exceeding safe limits, orsimilar cases.

The MOOCs platform is a great alternative to the already existing systemof conventional classrooms. It can be accessed by the users using theIITBombayX website by first registering on it.

II. Sequence Flow of Application

1. There will be an email address under the Contact us page for theuser interface of the application which will be used by the head of theinstitute to send an email to IITBombayX admin to register hisinstitute on the system.2. This email will be verified by IITBombayX administrator and anemail will be sent to the Head of the Institute with a link to theInstitute Registration Form.3. The Head of Institute fills the form with his institute's details andthe details of the program coordinator.4. The Administrator authenticates the institute and activates theaccounts of the head of the institute and the program coordinator'saccounts.5. The Program Coordinator logs into his account and selectscourses and corresponding course coordinators from the list ofcourses offered, by entering email ids of the coordinators which theyhave used to register on IITBombayX.6. Each Course-coordinator can appoint associate teachers for thecourse he is assigned to, using the email ids used to register theassociate teachers.7. The teacher asks the students to enroll for the course he isassigned to on IITBombayX and also asks for the email ids withwhich the students have registered. The teacher uploads the list ofemail ids on the system with the help of which students are linked tothat teacher.8. The teachers (associate teachers or the course coordinator) thencan form groups amongst the students that are under him accordingto his needs. It will help him to view academic statistics for eachgroup of students separately.Thus, students belonging to an institute are enrolled for a particularcourse under an associate teacher.
