IIT Bombay LAKSHYA has brought to you a hybrid MOOC platform for learning “IITBombayX”. Under ‘IITBombayX – LAKSHYA’ programme, various skill courses for learners, aimed at empowering them to become better professionals are being offered. This is the initiative of ESOS (Educational Services for Outreach at Scale) and CDEEP (Centre for Distance Engineering Education Programme) at IIT Bombay. The courses will be conducted using the blended MOOCs pedagogy developed at IIT Bombay. This approach combines online learning with face-to-face sessions.
The main online component is delivered using the IITBombayX hybrid MOOC platform (http://iitbombayx.in). A learner needs to spend between 6 to 8 hours per week, using the online content, and to carry out the indicated activities. These courses run twice a year. The understanding of the topics so covered will be assessed online using practice/graded quizzes. This part can be completed by the learners at any time and place convenient to them, within the prescribed time limit set for a topic. An active discussion forum permits the participants to ask doubts and questions, which are clarified by the faculty and course teams. With support from TEQIP-III, the institute provides access to interested candidates.
