Course File
Course File
Academic functionality includes most important thing that is maintaining teaching logs which is known as Course File.It is a function of course(subject) allocated to a faculty, for a batch pursuing a program. Its use is for maintaining Teaching Logs (Course Files), which includes
- Syllabus - A syllabus is an academic document that communicates information about a specific course and defines expectations and responsibilities.
- Timetable-A timetable is a plan of the times when particular events are to take place. In a school or college, a timetable is a list that shows the times in the week at which particular subjects are taught.
- Lesson plan-A lesson plan is a teacher's detailed description of the course(subject) of instruction or;learning trajectory; for a lesson. A daily lesson plan is developed by a teacher to guide class learning.
- Attendance-the action or state of going regularly to or being present at a place or event.
- Case studies-Case studies are an increasingly popular form of teaching and have an important role in developing skills and knowledge in students. This guide explores the use of the case-based approach to support engineering education and, more specifically, their role in Materials Science related Higher Education courses.
- Assignments-a task or piece of work allocated to someone as part of a job or course of study.
- On-line tests-Online examination is conducting a test online to measure the knowledge of the participants on a given topic.With online examination students can do the exam online, in their own time and with their own device.
- Evaluation Parameter and Internal marks freezing, weight age calculation.
- Teaching notes and material-A teaching note is a note attached to a case to help instructors learn about the case to improve the teaching. It is a good tool for both teachers and students if it is done the right way.
Functionality
Able to perform all the activities/functions related to specific course for the duration of whole term.
- Able to view personal as well as departmental planner.
- Able to view the contents of course outline.
- Able to view faculty session allocation, so that faculty should know which sessions are allocated to them in case of multiple faculties are mapped to subject.
- Facilitate to capture session plan & also able to replicate to other sections.
- Able to view class schedule i.e. time table for specific subject.
- Able to share documents with students.
- Able to view attendance statistics.
- Evaluation done for the subject, with marks and their weightage can be seen and even can export to PDF or Excel.
- All the evaluation parameters like individual assignment, group assignment, quiz, class participation, etc. can be configured.
- Evaluation and sharing assignments with students can be done.
- Configuration/handling process for individual assignment, group assignment and quiz from faculty login and Student login.
Terminologies Used:
- Functional Department : In an Institute there can be various Departments which can be functional or non-functional (Program). Institute of Engineering and Technology can have (1) Admission Department (2) Finance Department (3) Library Department (4) BE - Comp (5) BE - Civil (6) M.Tech – Comp.Out of these the first three are functional Department and the Second three are non-functional departments also known as Programs.
- Program: Program is usually similar to qualification but not always. In Engineering colleges, all first year students are allocated to the program "Applied Science" which is a mixed group for teaching basics of Engineering to all specialization. In the second year Applied Science students are distributed to different programs(non-functional departments) like BE - Comp, BE - Civil, BE Mech.
