What is the general contest flow?<br />

• This is a Teacher focused contest, wherein the teacher has to use <strong>EduWiki</strong> to<br />

upload his/hr knowledge content. The flow is as follows:<br />

- A teacher goes to his login page & goes to <strong>EduWiki</strong> (in case he/she wishes to<br />

view content uploaded by fellow teachers) or My School tab and MyWiki (in<br />

case he/she wants to upload some content)<br />

- For viewing content, the process is same as for the student (mentioned below)<br />

- For uploading content, teacher goes to MyWiki and clicks on upload content<br />

- Therein, he/she uploads content, inputs a description, keys in some tags,<br />

selects grade and chooses the sharing level for the content. The last step is to<br />

click on upload content<br />

• A student does not have to actually participate in this contest, as this is a ‘for<br />

teachers’ contest, but he/she can use the <strong>EduWiki</strong> feature for his use to go<br />

though the content that his/her teachers have posted, as follows:<br />

- A student goes to his login page & then on <strong>EduWiki</strong><br />

- He/she searches for a particular topic/class/subject<br />

- He/she views the available documents<br />

- He/she can also download the document (in case the teacher who uploaded it<br />

has enabled download feature)<br />

- The student also has the feature to follow the teacher who uploaded the<br />

content. Once he/she follows a teacher, he/she will be updated once that<br />

particular teacher uploads a new content


How winners are decided & what are the prizes?<br />

• The winning teachers are decided based on two parameters: Student followership<br />

& the quality of the content posted. The number of winners is tentatively 10<br />

• The content quality will be assessed by an expert team of subject matter experts<br />

from <strong>Educomp</strong><strong>Online</strong><br />

• <strong>About</strong> 50 students will also be selected based on a lucky draw from amongst all<br />

the students that have used the follow teacher feature to a respectable limit. They<br />

do not have to participate in the contest per se. They just have to keep using the<br />

<strong>EduWiki</strong> feature as much as possible.<br />

• The tentative prizes for teacher’s are- Tablets and Gift Vouchers for students.<br />

The same is not to be communicated to them officially, as the same might change<br />

based on the participation levels<br />

What is the duration of the contest?<br />

The updates on the website have already been done, so the contest is already soft<br />

launched. The full fledged launch will happen when the posters/leaflets are<br />

displayed/distributed in the school and we send out the SMSes and e-mailers. This<br />

should happen by 15 th September, 2011. So all entries put in from 1 st September, are<br />

eligible for the contest. The end date for the contest will be decided based on the<br />

participation levels, but will not be before 1 st October, 2011.<br />

What if anybody requires more information on the contest?<br />
