  18. CONNECTIVITY DTH Beside Net, there is a provision to disseminate educational material to digitally deprived students throughout the country: via DTH and EDUSAT. One EduSATSatellite Interactive Terminal (SIT) at each of the 22,000 Institutions of Higher Learning. Provision of 1000 DTHChannels for beaming various educational programmes including IPTv. This would enable availability of one DTH channel for every subjectfor every class and in many of the regional Languages. It is envisaged to have about 40 – 50 transponders from Indian satellites.

  19. WHAT SHOULD BE THE PRODUCTION & DELIVERY METHODOLOGY Of e-EDUCATION IN INDIA (views)

  20. Teaching Methodology India has acute shortage of Teachers, to have Equity and Access, it is therefore felt that there is a need to deliver Teaching, besides providing tools for Learning to the students.  Since it is difficult to synchronize the e-learning deliveries with the teaching taking place through conventional methods all over the country, it is proposed that we should reach the students, at their Homes through DTH, besides reaching them at Institutions through IP N/w.

  21. Medium Scenario in India INDIA: 240 Million Homes India enjoys 24% & 29% growth in Internet & telephone connectivity respectively. Tele density in India is 52.74%.

  22. DTH is Cost Effective 145 m TV – 90 m Pc = 55 m 55 m x 25,000 Rs. = 1375000 m Rs. 137 thousand Crores and additional monthly recurring expenses on Bandwidth access charges. Therefore delivery of educational content together, through DTH and IP is not only economic, but can enable half of the population start benefiting from the national Educational Missions, shortly. It is recommended that the Content Generation should begin together for delivery platforms such as TV & PC.

  23. Media Scenario & Transponders TV Channels mostly use about 8 hours of fresh and repeat programmes and repeat it 3 times a day for global demand of different time zones. Proposed DTH Channels to have 6-8 hours of live programmes, repeated 4-3 times a day. As reflected in the Mission Document (NME-ICT) a number of about 1000 DTH Channels shall be launched and each channel shall be devoted to a specific subject. Following DVB-S2 Transmission and H.264 Compression, we require about 2 Transponders initially and about 40 transponders at latter stage. ISRO shall provide the Transponders

  24. CONTENT MANAGMENT Pre recorded content on a number of (i) engineering subjects is available under NTPL (ii) under graduate subjects is available with the CEC/UGC and (iii) other subjects at IGNOU and at other Institutions. The content s shall be Digitized, Archived, cerate Metadata and Playlist. Such stored content shall be used to support structured Dissemination along with Live transmission. The Metadata shall help students to scan through the server and retrieve a content as per his requirement and make it available to him via Uni-cast thro’ Internet.

  25. Content Requirement It may further be seen that about 2200-3000 hours of fresh and live programme material shall be required per annum to run a channel. It is therefore, proposed that 6-8 lectures, of each one hour duration,LIVE by subject experts shall be delivered, per day . Each lecture of 40 minutes of duration and followed by 20 minutes of interactive session. The questions can be asked by using any of the communication modes such as mobile, landline, video conferencing, SMS, e-mail, fax etc.

  26. NETWORK TOPOGRAPHY  It is proposed to set up technical system comprising of Multiple Star Network Topography by groups of Central Institutions, such as Central Universities Networks, i.e., IIT’s network, NIT’s Network, CEC Network, Agriculture universities network, Management Institution network etc.  Each of these Central Universities Networks shall derive technical and content support from respective institutions affiliated to it. The Central Institution Network shall generate more than one Channel.

  27. SYSTEM NETWORKS The content of each channel originated by an Affiliated Institution under the Central Institution can reach the Central Institution Network through Fiber or otherwise and beamed as Central Institution channels. All such signals/channels originating from Central Institutions shall reach MHRD Hub, where from they will be integrated with signals/Channels from other Central Institutions to form Forward Path to be up-linked to DTH, IPTV, DVB-RCS, DVB-H, Streaming, VPN etc or respective delivery system.

  28. CENTRAL INST. NETWORK TOPOGRAPHY MC 1 NIT 4 MC 2 nCIN 5 3 CEC IIM 20 ch MC 3 2 n ch MC 17 1 200 Channels IIT 1 40 40 ch 12ch Central Universities IIT - Delhi IIT 2 1 IIT 3 3 2

  29. NETWORK UNIFICATION Live & Interactive Teaching End Forward Path VPN/Net DTH IPTV DVB-RCS DVB - H Return Path Video Conferencing e-mail , Fax PSTN Chat, SMS

  30. MICROLEVEL PLANNING In the first instance it is proposal to set up a Central Institution Networks that may launch about 40-60 DTH channels with immediate effect. It is proposed that CEC, all IIT’s, IIM’s, NIT’s etc institution shall be asked to come up with the ‘DTH Channels. CEC Media Centre may be asked to originate a Channel on the subject on which they are producing complete undergraduate e-content course material.

  31. MICROLEVEL DELIVERY A Teaching End comprising of mini-studio shall be set up at each of Institutions. It is proposed 4-6 hours of live lectures (each lecture one hour duration) may be delivered by such Centres. A recorded programme of about half an hour duration shall be played in between two live sessions. The signals from each teaching End shall reach the Central Institution through Fiber and having a redundancy line. Two transponder shall be hired immediately and an Earth Station shall be set up for this in Delhi.

  32. PRODUCTION METHODOLOGY The subject experts shall be asked to use all convenient aids of delivery material such video clips, animation material, live internet, graphic etc. It is proposed that a White Board having facilities to generate over a click of button all such inputs shall be made available to the subject expert and the selected material passed on to the live stream, to benefit the students watching such programmes. The Management Technical and Academic activities shall be looked after by the Central Institution. It shall be responsibility of Central Institution to manage generation of content for channels in its network.

  33. MULTI MEDIUM DISSEMINATION For utilising benefits of multimode reception techniques and for deeper dissemination of educational content, it is desired to propagate on-line simultaneously on TV, terrestrial, satellite, cable, IPTV, web, mobile and even on podcast versions. Further, create a return paths based on voice, Text, Video conferencing etc., and amalgamate them in order to have real-time interactivity from student community, world over with the Expert/Teacher online to address their difficulties through the use of multi mode and Mediums such as Telephone, Fax, internet, Satellite etc. Such a Unification of Networks along with return path is envisaged.

  34. Network Unification Anycast Internet BRC-HD-700 PTZ Camera Eq. Model is for Reference only

  35. Network Unification Set Top Box or a PC USB DVD
