The goal of NPTEL, Education Grid and such initiatives is to enhance the quality of education in all the colleges, universities and institutions of higher education. Higher Education needs to move further and reach into LLL (Lifelong learning) - continuing education for professionals, supporting mid-career changeover of desiring individuals, etc.
Present NPTEL per se has focused on developing authentic content from the best available faculty in the areas of Engineering and associated core sciences at the undergraduate college level. For a true National Program on Technology Enhanced learning, we have to go much beyond the present confines of the IITs/IISc. The NPTEL content developed thus far is a base on which we can build a truly National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning.
For such a National Programme, our immediate need is to work in the colleges that will benefit from the NPTEL content. This is where Education Grid comes in. As the name implies, Education Grid is a collaboration of colleges and institutions with the objective of quality education independent of geography. It is based upon colleges and institutions sharing experiences, best practices, maintenance and growth of content and caring for their stakeholders. Such a collaboration needs semi-formal structure. The Open Education Grid Consortium proposed here is such a collaborative mechanism. We delineate here several features of such a consortium.
Why do we need a Consortium?
To build and service a Technology Enhanced Learning, all colleges concerned have to collaborate effectively. In an Education Grid, any competent desiring party may offer a service or program over the net and those who desire may subscribe for the same and benefit from it. Such services may have local, regional or national level cooperation. Hence we need a forum with some formal authority to cost such services, approve recommended tariff for each specific service that costs (by salaries to people, field visits, programs support, subscrition for e-books, ejournals, collective bargain on purchases through negotiations, etc. The consortium provides an effective model to formalize such collaborations without hard binding on the members of the consortium itself. Consortium with local chapters (say with some 10 colleges in a district) also provides a forum for local area programs that need not be constrained by national programs.
I suggest that we have national Education Grid Consortium with a clear charter of its working and terms of reference for its members. We shall also encourage a number of local chapters - about one per district or a clsuter of neighbourhood districts. IIITM-K through a Board passed resoultion will set in place an Open Education Grid Consortium Headquarters

Schedule
The workshop is intended to apprise the teachers and management of the engineering colleges in Kerala and Tamil Nadu on the ways by which they can use the authentic e-content being developed by all the IITs and IISc under the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning. The colleges stand much to gain from the e-content being made available under NPTEL ( http://nptel.iitm.ac.in/) with e-learning systems and instructional processes being developed under the Education Grid initiative of IIITM-K (http://www.edugrid.in/).
The workshop will provide the participating teachers insight into how e-content under NPTEL has been developed and organized, the subjects (over 240 courses) covered and how the same is being made available to the colleges. Further, the workshop will also expose how instructional processes and interaction services are to be managed under the Education Grid in ways that enhance the quality of teaching and learning in the colleges. It will bring out the central role that the college teachers have to play in the changed context of Technology Enhanced Learning and Teaching (TELT).
This workshop will provide an overview of the technology, instructional and pedagogic aspects related to using the content. It intends to supplement this through an effective feedback process in which the faculty will participate in the next several months on the effective usage of content in their respective institutions. It also aims to bring together the faculty members of engineering colleges in Kerala and Tamil Nadu and make them conversant with the e-courseware developments and how to use them for quality instruction in the classroom.
The teachers will also be given some exposure to the kind of systems and educational processes that are needed in the colleges to benefit from NPTEL and other open content as well as open course-forums and portals such as the Computational Chemistry portal being set up by IIITM-K as part of the next generation tools for learning / research. Experts involved in content creation and portal development will help the teachers through practical sessions to communicate the concepts better to the students. Orientation on how the content and processes can be aligned with the affiliating university syllabi and examinations will also be given.
