Curriculum Gap Analysis, Modalities for DAB &
PAC Meetings, Framing Effective Action Items
Dr Shreeranga Bhat shed light on Gap Analysis and its relevance
to SAR. As a corrective action to the gaps identified ‘Content
Beyond Syllabus’ can be conducted. Issues regarding gaps in the
syllabus can be raised at PAC meetings and then discussed in DAB
meetings. Documentary evidence of the gaps communicated to the
university needs to be kept ready during the NBA visit. The key
steps to follow are Identify the gap, Create syllabus to bridge the
gap, Get approval from the HOD and Stakeholders,
Implementation and finally Assessment. He also gave his insights
on Curriculum Gap Analysis and Course Gap Analysis.
In regards to the topic ‘Modalities for DAB & PAC Meetings’, he
said that if the POs and PSOs were addressed in meetings then the
minutes of the meeting are to be recorded and communicated to
the university. He also mentioned that it is expected to conduct the
meeting within 20 days of announcement of results rather than
waiting for revaluation results.
Addressing the topic ‘Framing Effective Action Items’ he
requested the gathering to write the action items scientifically and
discussed some of the action items using examples. The session
ended with a group activity on writing action items.
“The importance of
identifying
and
documenting curriculum
gaps for an affiliated
institution was clearly
explained.”

Question Paper Review Using Bloom’s
Taxonomy
The audience was asked to group themselves according to their
departments at the start of the session. Mr. Keith then asked the
each group to list their views on the following questions: 1.
Objectives of a good question paper, 2. Time to be allotted when
setting an internal question paper and 3. Do internal question
papers satisfy OBE criterion. Responses from each of the groups
were discussed and it was found that although OBE based teaching
is imparted in the classroom, there is a lack of OBE based
evaluation in the class internals.
Mr Keith stressed on the importance of student centric learning
cycles. Utilizing OBE based techniques in question paper setting
will automatically shift focus on student centric design thinking
and lead to achieving a higher level in Bloom’s taxonomy.
Each level in Bloom’s taxonomy was discussed and the
participants were asked to review the question papers they had set
in the previous semester. It was identified that although mapping
to lower levels of Bloom’s taxonomy was easier it does not
evaluate the students intelligence effectively hence the participants
were requested to think beyond level 2 in the taxonomy.
“The session shed light
on preparing an
effective question paper
which includes OBE”

Mr Akshay N H gave a talk on a recent teaching methodology
called as gamification. Various fields in which gamification are
presently being used were explained such as such as business,
education, recruitment, marketing. Gamification is using game
dynamics in non-game applications. Three ingredients of
gamification involves motivation, mastery and trigger. Any game
or any activity which can be gamified must have the three
ingredients to succed. Motivation is where the consumer or the
student or the customer is motivated to play more or use the
application more. Example-Variable rewards and social
recognition. Mastery is where the consumer or student must feel
that he is developing a skill as he is advancing in the game or he
will have to learn prior to completing the next levels in the game.
Trigger is a part where the student or consumer must triggered to
come back and play the game or the activity which is gamified.
Speaker also stressed upon points as to how gamification helps
students develop their problem solving skills and group skills and
how gamification has become a part of recruitment which is
termed as ‘Recruitainment’.
A hands on session was conducted on how to create a mobile app
using the MIT App Inventor. As an activity all the participants
were asked to use their mobile phone and were given a step by step
procedure as to how to create a text to audio converter app. The
