INTRODUCTION

The Centre for Educational Technology (CET) is a central facility of the Institute to assist Teaching-Learning Process. The Centre is primarily concentrating on development of infrastructure for the Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). At present, the operational objective is to set-up studio/ laboratories for the video and web cou rses. The Centre has the-state-of-artvideo equ ipment and multi media software. The CET is now involved in one of the national level major project along with other IITs and IISc under MHRD, Government of India namely, National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learn ing (NP-TEL). In this project the Centre is developing 15 web and 6 video courses. The video courses will be transmitted through Doordarsan GYANDARSHAN-III also called the Eklavya channel.

MAJOR EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES

The web studio of the Centre is functional now. The construction of the video studio of the Centre is under progress. However, for the video recording of various lectu res are going in a temporarily video laboratory along side the web lab itself, which was constructed to suit the requirement of ideal video recording to take care of the acoustics, lighting, dustproof environment, etc. Now, the Centre is also geared up with servers for the web and vid eo courses. Some web cou rses are already uploaded in the servers. One Windows based server and one Linux server are continuously providing services for course developers, project personnel, student and reviewers of the courses. Stream of the video lectures through LAN is under trial phase.

Moreover, the Centre is now eq uipped with Apple Power

Mac computers. These computers will be solely dedicated for video developments and video editing are going on in these machines.

To provide non-interruption in the power supply, the Centre has purchased 2x30KVA UPS and 40KVA Input Isolation Transformers. These are also fu lly functional now. One 10 KVA isolation transformer was also purchased for the Office of the Head. That will be installed shortly.

We are also procuring one video conferencin g system for the Centre, which will arrive at the Centre very soon. Another important purchase for the Centre in this academic year is touch screen and plasma TV. These items will help us in the preparation of video courses after they are installed .
