1.1 About the OER

The open education resource is a collection of MOODLE Lesson activities that are useful as

out-of-class activity while flipping the classroom. There are three lessons as part of this

OER, and each deals with an aspect related to Concept Maps. Concept mapping is a

technique that is useful across domains and can be a useful tool for: Knowledge Integration

and Summary.

may also provide your Wordpress page details if that is the webpage used for

dissemination of the OER)

OER developed in MOODLE 2.3

1.2 Learning Objectives

After using this OER, learner will be able to:

• Identify the characterizing features of a concept map

• List down the benefits of Concept Mapping – As a learner and as a Teacher

• Explain the theory behind concept mapping

• Familiarize themselves with 2 tools for creating concept maps

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. Platform is provided to students to make them understand about the concept of

networking fundaments. They will understand various devises used to implement the

concept (connectors, routers)

b. Students acquire knowledge of solving real world problems and apply automation to

achieve ease of comfort.

Pedagogic Decisions

Typically, student able to refer to some given material (Video, PPT etc. to understand the

concept.

Cognitive Levels of Questions to be asked along with the resources. Recall to Apply level

questions asked to students during class. One-minute test is conducted to understood creative

level understanding.

Assessment Strategies – Multiple choice questions activity for students.

Technology Decisions

While developing the Out-of-Class and In-class activities, the major technology decisions taken

were:

a. Custom or in-built Audio can be added in Active Presenter.

b. Created Quiz using Moodle eLearning Web portal gnomio.

Section 3: OER Description Active OER

For checking the active OER, you may access the Course – “OER- Computer Network

Fundatmentals” in the FDP Moodle

(https://exploreiot.gnomio.com).

appearance of gnomio webportal.

Screenshot 2-3: Enter your URL to create moodle and email address. You will get username

and password on mail id given. Login to the site and moodle will be displayed. Any course

material can be added in the moodle created.

Screenshot 4: Uploading IP address video on moodle site. Kindly turn the editing mode on

after clicking on setting icon.

PPT: OF OSI MODEL:

Screenshot 5:Addition of quiz to the moodle. Add single question. A question can be mcq,

brief answer etc. Allot the marks to each question. Allot time to each question.

Best Practices with Lesson Activity

Here are some of the best practices from our experience after understanding the concept of

Computer Network Fundamentals

1. Able to understand need of networking fundamentals to solve real world problems.

How networking can be built and how device can communicate and send data to each

other.

2. Students are instructed to use basic components like, Connectors, routers. How these

components are connected and communicate to each other and perform the desire

operation.

3. Students are introduced with various tools to implement the Network based application

like Internet, Intranet, LAN, WAN, PAN, MAN etc.

4. Four pillars of Networking are introduced to students, like wireless sensor network,

M2M, which is defined to be implemented in local based database or cloud based

environment.

Section 4: Evaluating Effectiveness of OER The OER effectiveness can be assessed at following level:

Effectiveness at the student level

Effectiveness at the student level involves metrics related to understand the fundamental concepts of networking standards, protocols and technologies and to develop an understanding of modern network architectures from a design and performance perspective. The one minute test activity and quiz can be used to evaluate this effectiveness, with the report showing the

total number of students who attempted the one-minute test and the quiz and their marks based

on their answers to MCQs.

We didn’t assess the effectiveness of OER at the consumer level.

Section 6: Building a Community of Computer

Networks Possible Sources for Community Building

Some of the viable sources for building a community are:

• Teachers who are from Computer Science and Engineering background

• Teachers who plan to deploy and implement different networks in real life

Plans for Community Building

The resource is already available in the webpage and its access requires the users to provide

their email id. Thus there will be a list of interested users whom we can follow up using email.

All the interested users can then be connected using a local Wordpress, Moodle website and

Google feedback form. Follow the link,
