PRSG Recommendations The PRSG committee reviewed the project on 27 th June, 2014 PRSG recommended that: – The remaining e-Content development be completed using the Butterfly Approach and/or Task-Based Learning. Second installment of funds be released so that work may proceed. – Budget may be reworked to reflect the current expenses as the approach demands more expenditure on the part of writers’ and developers’ team. PRSG recommended that using the sanctioned budget of Rs. 119 lakhs, fewer courses, i.e. 9 be developed. Later, new funding should fund the additional 8 courses for a total of 17 courses. – Training of engineering teachers is advisable for implementation of new content at colleges. PRSG recommended that funds for teacher training and subsequent support to teachers for student training be provided. Sandhya Kode October 2015

Conclusion Current State – Not enough funds to implement the content appropriately in the colleges Required Future state – Require an estimated Rs. 13 lakhs per course + Rs. 573 lakhs for training and support – 9 courses will be developed and successfully implemented in 3 years time – Require additional Rs. 104 lakhs to develop remaining 8 courses Why now – My team has been trained and has successfully developed 25% of course content – Stopping the momentum will have financial repercussions on the success of the overall endeavor and the team morale The benefit for us all – Better trained students and teachers with education geared toward employability in the marketplace – Recognition of this MHRD Standing Committee as the group that spearheaded and implemented Learning by Doing as a way of education Sandhya Kode October 2015
