Section 1: Open Education Resource: Network Theorems

About the OER The open education resource is a collection of MOODLE Lesson activities which contains the following:

1) Lecture slides with animation 2) Lecture slides that can be used as a printout 3) Videos that are based on the lecture slides as in (i) (only present for some topics) 4) Introduction to PSPICE simulations that are used in Electronics and Electrical domain 5) Quiz 6) Assignments

As a part of this OER there are five lessons. These five lessons are then categorized into two sections. The first section, Network theorems, contains four lessons and the second section contains one lesson on PSPICE simulations. In first section, the following Network theorems are covered in the OER: (i) Superposition Theorem (ii) Source Transformation (iii) Thevenin’s theorem and (iv) Norton’s Theorem. Each section is followed by an assignment that is dedicated to numerical problems based on that section. A quiz is based on first section is also a part of this OER. In the second section, information on PSPICE simulation tools, LT‐SPICE (offline tool) and Circuit Sandbox (online tool) are introduced using videos, followed by assignments. Network Theorems are used to analyse and simplify a given electrical network. SPICE simulations helpful to learn, trouble shoot and design a circuit.

OER is accessible from: https://ramakomaragiri.wordpress.com/fdp201x‐oer/. A backup of the MOODLE file can be found under the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HYYHvAnU2WP‐uuNV0gM145oQm3n6vzw2/edit

Section 2: Design Decisions Nature of Decisions taken The design decisions involved in the creation of this OER were of broadly three types: 1. Content Decisions 2. Pedagogic Decisions 3. Technology Decisions Content Decisions The content decisions related to: a. Earmarking specific segment to be covered – Decided on Superposition Theorem, Source transformation, Thevenin’s theorem, Norton’s theorem and SPICE simulations. b. Information on books and other materials to be provided – A book on introductory circuit analysis, “Robert L. Boylestad, Introductory Circuit Analysis, Pearson Education, 13th Ed.”, information on SPICE simulators and their usage is also provided through information provided on MOODLE page of the course. Pedagogic Decisions Typically, in a flipped classroom strategy, there are two segments – Out‐of‐class segment and In‐Class segment. The out‐of‐class segment requires student to refer to some given material (Video, Text etc) and form an understanding about the concepts that are relevant. In terms of concept marking the pedagogic decisions that were taken for the Out‐of‐class segment related to: a. Cognitive Levels of Questions to be asked along with the resources – Mostly Recall, Apply and Analyse level question for out of class and Create Level question for In‐class b. Assessment Strategies – Multiple choice questions for out of class Technology Decisions While developing the Out‐of‐Class and In‐class activities, the major technology decisions taken were: a. Tools to be used for creating presentations: PowerPoint and Adobe to convert to pdf format (to make platform independent) b.Tool to be used for creating screencast – Screencast‐O‐Matic, as it had a time limit of 10 minutes and provided option for creating videos as MP4 files. These MP4 files can can be directly played from browser and editable by an interested improviser. As a result, the screencast created becomes more flexible when compared to other formats. c. SPICE Simulator: It is decided to provide information on usage of one offline SPICE simulator (LT‐SPICE) and one online SPICE simulator (Circuit Sandbox). d. MOODLE Lesson Activity for setting up Out‐of‐Class segment as it allowed guided self‐learning.

Lesson Settings Screenshot‐1 shows the general settings of the OER. Screenshot‐1: General settings of the OER

Screenshot‐2: : Description of Lessons Superposition Theorem and Source Transformation (partially)



Screenshot‐2 is same for both the lessons Superposition Theorem and Source Transformation. These sections contain two pdf files. “Presentation File” is useful to see the lecture in presentation mode and “Handout File” is useful for making a hardcopy of printout. These sections are further followed by an assignment, where a student is expected to work and submit the assignment for grading. As shown in Screenshot‐3, the lessons Thevenin’s theorem and Norton’s Theorem, apart from the above‐mentioned sections, contains one more section, which contains a video. These videos contain reflection spot to answer a few recall level questions which is further useful in setting up flipped‐class room. Screenshot‐3: Description of Lessons Thevenin’s Theorem and Norton’s Theorem (partially)

Screenshot‐4, Screenshot‐5 and Screenshot‐6 provide inform on SPICE simulation lessons. Screenshot‐4 shows that the lesson gives information on various SPICE simulation tools.

Apart from the lessons, two quizzes are also present in the OER. As shown in screenshot‐7, Quiz‐1 contains True/False type questions, which are most of recall level. Screenshot‐7: Quiz‐1, containing true or False questions



As shown in screenshot‐8, Quiz‐2 contains multiple choice questions, which are most of Analyze level questions. Screenshot‐8: Quiz‐2, containing multiple choice questions

How to use this OER For using this OER, please ensure that you have admin permission in your MOODLE course which is mandatory for importing activities. Else ask your administrator to restore this backup in your course. Step 1: Download the OER from https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HYYHvAnU2WP‐uuNV0gM145oQm3n6vzw2 Step 2: In the Site Administration section, navigate to courses. Then Go to the MOODLE course where you want to import this lesson.

Step 3: click “Restore Course”. Then as window as shown below appears. Then choose the downloaded file from its location or drag and drop the file in the Import file area. Then follow the on‐screen instruction steps as appear on the screen.



Step 4: Verify the contents of the restore by going back to the lesson Step 5: After verifying, post the instructions to your students to complete the lesson activity using MOODLE forums as desired by you. Best Practices with Lesson Activity Some of the best practices from our experience on using this Lesson Activity in classroom: 1. Provide all the activities well in advance. 2. Provide some minor incentive (marks) for completion of the activity. 3. Ensure that there is a tangible output at the end of out‐of‐class activity to ensure learners are interested, for example, solving an assignment using other theorems that are discussed 4. It would be good if the screencasts and resources were separately available in a “Resources” folder in the MOODLE course itself. This will take care of common cribs related to “website not available”, “resources not accessible” etc.



Section 4: Evaluating Effectiveness of OER The OER effectiveness can be assessed at two levels: 1. At the student level 2. At the consumer level Effectiveness at the student level Effectiveness at the student level involves metrics related to student access of the resource and student learning. The MOODLE lesson report can be used to evaluate this effectiveness, with the report showing the total number of students who accessed the reports (along with time) and their marks (based on submission of assignments, answers to questions in Quiz‐1, Quiz‐2). Effectiveness at consumer level OER consumers are typically teachers who want their students to learn Network Theorems and SPICE simulations. Linking a survey on three main constructs – Ease of Use, Concept Coverage and Concept Complexity, can help in identifying the effectiveness of this OER at consumer level. This has to be done as a follow‐up activity. Implementing Survey Thus, every user who downloads this resource can be asked their email address and as a follow up the survey will be send to their email address. Survey Questions Construct Question Scale Ease of Use I found it easy to download the

Lesson Activity Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree (5‐point Likert Scale) I found the instructions to setup

the Lesson Activity useful in setting the activity in my Course I could successfully create Lesson in my own course

Concept Coverage The Lesson covers the required concepts related to concept maps that I need for my course

Concept Complexity

The content inside the Lesson is too complex for my students to understand

Hi,

Is it a problem with the wattage or from the resistance value? Wattage should not be a problem; rather resistance value can be a problem.

Spice simulation is already taken care by Vinod ji.
