29

Video-on-Demand A video repository on the storage system will be fully

indexed with keywords.

Each 50 minute video will be divided into 4-5 logical sections.

A Google front end will be used to provide search capability.

In response to keyword-based search, the system will generate relevant links to video sections.

Using an embedded player, the user can playback relevant links of videos.

The project will involve the development of software, indexing and course web linking of the videos.

Course Book Generation As per IIT Bombay model: For each course a suitable set of

syllabi will be defined.

A broad-based Wiki will be delivered covering all the syllabi identified.

A course book providing comprehensive description of the course material will be delivered for each course.

The course books will be delivered in PDF as well as web-format.

DEI will develop course textbooks for six courses per semester:

Delivering books for six courses in the first year. 12 courses each in the second and third years.
