G. KRISHNAKUMAR for THE HINDU
Among the new programmes IGNOU plans to launch next year is one on Intellectual Property Rights
The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is exploring the educational avenues opening up in the field of intellectual property rights (IPR) and cyber laws.
The university has come up with a two-year Master’s programme in IPR in collaboration with reputed Indian institutes and the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia. The objective of the course is to develop awareness, knowledge and practical skills in IPR issues. The programme aims at promoting a new brand of IPR lawyers and supporting professionals in the emerging world order. In addition to legal skills, the acquisition of in-depth knowledge and scholarship are the other features of the course.
The course will provide insights into the national and international scenario in areas of IPR. Various issues related to IPR like laws related to patents, protection of plant varieties, geographical indications, copyright, trademarks and industrial designs, will be part of the course.
The course will commence in January 2009. Students from all over the world are eligible for enrolment. Students who pass the first year of the Master’s programme at IGNOU will be eligible to proceed to QUT to complete the second year of the Master’s programme in IP Law and obtain both IGNOU and QUT degrees.
In cyber laws, the university is offering a Postgraduate Certificate programme based on self-learning instructional material with multimedia and teleconferencing support.
The main objective of the course is to give the learners a critical understanding of cyber laws in the emerging world in the light of social and intellectual property issues. It focusses on how to address the rapid changes in the field of information technology (IT). The course would have immense scope in dealing with consultancy in e-security, digital signatures, cryptography and so on.
The course has been designed keeping in view the fact that cyber crimes are a new class of crimes in India. The programme will have four compulsory courses, which range from cyber technology and social issues, regulation of cyberspace and commerce and cyberspace to privacy and data protection. Graduates in any discipline can enrol for the course.
The medium of instruction will be English. The fee is Rs.5,000. The first batch of this course began in July.

Initially four centres will be activated in the Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western regions of the country. Course material will be developed in collaboration with experts in the aviation sector.
The course objectives include development of technical professionals in the area of aeronautical engineering.
IGNOU has entered into a tie-up with the Aeronautical Engineering Research Organisation (AERO), Pune, to form a joint core group to oversee the planning and development of the programme and also to undertake and execute all such activities required for the fulfilment of the objectives described above.
AERO will set up fully-equipped office infrastructure for the project on the IGNOU campus. IGNOU has entered into a collaboration with the Dental Council of India (DCI) to launch two programmes in the open and distance learning mode from July 2008.
The programmes are of one year duration (30 credits each).
However, there is the flexibility to complete the programmes within three years. Both the programmes have been accredited by DCI. Since these programmes are through the open and distance learning education mode, one does not have to leave one’s established practices or work places except for the contact programmes. There is no age bar and fresh graduates can also apply.
A self-learning programme for students
A self-learning programme for students
DHNS
Many students don’t understand basic concepts. Most often, a child does not try to clear his misconceptions due to a lack of opportunity or fear of embarrassment. Research through detailed student assessments provides insights on exactly where students are likely to have difficulties, and why.
Mindspark is a computer based adaptive self-learning programme launched under the flagship of Educational Initiatives. It’s a learning system that allows the student to construct his own learning – at a pace he is comfortable with. It is an interactive system, where the student is not learning passively by listening to someone, or viewing ready-made solutions, but learning interactively by answering questions of progressively increasing complexity levels.
Students learn best when they control the pace of learning. There have been several successful experiments worldwide on this. Mindspark is a genesis of various such experiments.
A key advantage of Mindspark is the fact that it successfully harnesses the power of new technologies to bolster learning. An intelligent computer system uses a complex adaptive logic to decide what problem to serve up to a student next, based on his response to the current problem and problems answered earlier. The system is also able to identify when a student needs help to understand a concept, and proceeds to give her explanations that will help her move ahead.
The Mindspark programme, is available in 12 Maths modules, which covers most of the Maths content for Classes 3-7. “A special feature of the Mindspark programme is the way in which the questions are graded. The extremely fine gradation of questions allows the system to make sure that a child is truly thorough with a sub concept, before moving on to the next. It helps in pinpointing exactly where the child is having difficulties”, said Sridhar Rajagopalan director of Educational Initiatives.
The programme is in line with the NCERT recommendations as well as ICSE, CBSE and various State boards. It focuses on understanding and analytical thinking, not just knowledge of facts, or drill in procedures.
Typically, a student would select a topic, and start with fundamental questions based on the topic. This is to ascertain that the student has a strong grounding in the topic. A student with a deeper understanding of that topic automatically moves ahead quickly to more advanced levels, while those who need to spend more time on the basics will be served up more questions of the basic level.
Whenever a student goes wrong in a particular type of question, a detailed, concept based explanation is provided for it. Often, the explanations are visual or animated rather than just textual, to facilitate quick grasping. This system of providing explanations allows the student to revisit the concept, and quickly figure out how to tackle subsequent problems on the concept.
Every week Mindspark will mail out a detailed report to the parents and teachers. These reports will show how far the child has reached on each topic, the time taken by the child, the success rate and number of logins and so on. In addition, it will provide the teachers with data on rest of the class too.
The programme can be accessed through the internet at all times from the site http://www.ei-india.com/mindspark/. There is a choice of three packs for customers – of one, six and twelve months respectively – the one year pack costs Rs. 2,499 plus taxes.
