Annexure II QUALITY MONITORING MECHANISM The guidelines on quality monitoring mechanism are required to be adopted by the Centre for Internal Quality Assurance for conducting institutional quality audits, to promote quality assurance and enhance as well as spread best-in-class practices of quality assurance. Quality monitoring needs to be addressed under the following broad areas, namely:-

(a) Governance, Leadership and Management This relates to the policies and practices of Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) in the matter of planning, human resources, recruitment, training, performance appraisal, financial management and the overall role of leadership, with a focus

on the following key aspects :

(i) Organisation Structure and Governance : The Higher Educational Institution is ultimately responsible for quality programmes and learning outcomes. Therefore, it is required that the Institution should fill all required positions in the Directorate or Centre or Department and in the Learner Support Centres as prescribed by the Commission, and establish a credible governance system.

(ii) Management : Effective leadership by setting values and participative decision-making process is the key to achieve the vision, mission and goals of the Higher Educational Institution. Therefore, it is required to assess and review the organisational culture to support the management and leadership of the institution to achieve such vision, mission and goals.

(iii) Strategic Planning : The leadership of the Higher Educational Institution is expected to provide clear vision and mission. Its functions are to be governed by the principles of participation and transparency. Therefore, the Higher Educational Institution is expected to do strategic planning of its activities and implementing by aligning those with academic and administrative aspects to improve the overall quality.

(iv) Operational Plan, Goals and Policies: The Higher Educational Institutions derives the operational plan from its strategic plan that defines targets and measures of the programmes to be achieved by the Institution. The Operational Plan is used as a guideline for the annual planning of programs and activities. The Higher Educational Institution needs to have well defined goals which are realistic and measurable. Equally important is to have well-defined policies that are in sync with its strategic plan and are realistic and achievable. The Higher Educational Institution needs to have clearly stated guidelines in the implementation of its policies and plans.

Further, the institution needs to have a transparent and accountable system for its policies and planning that are well communicated to its stakeholders.

(b) Articulation of Higher Educational Institutions Objectives The Higher Educational Institutions are expected to provide holistic and quality education with a professional focus, the creation of knowledge and innovation, and the practical application of the knowledge to support the business and professional community. Accordingly, the Higher Educational Institution should articulate a clear vision, mission, ethos and54 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC. 4] broad strategy consistent with the goals to strengthen its position for offering programmes in Open and Distance Learning mode.

(c) Programme Development and Approval Processes This area of concern relates to programme development and approval mechanism for the programme(s) to be launched, covering the following key aspects:

(i) Curriculum Design : The Higher Educational Institution plays the foremost role in the curriculum design and development of learning content and therefore, it is expected to have processes, systems and structures in place to carry these responsibilities. Curriculum design is a process of developing appropriate need-based curriculum in consultation with expert groups, based on the feedback from stakeholders, resulting in the development of relevant programmes with flexibility, to suit the professional and personal needs of the learner and realisation of core values. The key aspect is also to consider the good practices of the Institution in initiating a range of programme options and courses that are relevant to the local needs and in tune with the emerging national and global trends.

(ii) Curriculum Planning and Implementation : It is required that the Higher Educational Institution shall have specific implementation plans for identifying the time to be spent on specific components of the implementation phase. It is the basis for the effectiveness of the programme(s) and their usefulness as a whole.

(iii) Academic Flexibility : Academic flexibility is the key feature of the Open and Distance Learning mode of education and refers to freedom in the use of the time-frame of courses, vertical mobility, and inter-disciplinary options facilitated by curricular transactions. Therefore, the Higher Educational Institution shall adopt proper strategies for imparting academic flexibility.

(iv) Learning Resource : Learning Resource is a key component of the Open and Distance Learning mode of education. Learning resource can be of print and digital mode. Considering the need of blended learning, the Higher Educational Institution should also develop e-resources for the learner to refer and study. There is no or very little interaction of teachers with the learners, the content and structure of learning resources play a vital role in the Open and Distance Learning mode of education. Therefore, it is required that each Higher Educational Institution shall ensure the quality of learner resources and their periodical review. While deciding on the appropriateness of the media and the technologies, the Higher Educational Institution should take into consideration various factors – the media and technology utilised matches the course content in order to enhance and expand learning, and to match to the learners’ needs; that these are accessible, practical and equitable, and cost effective to the learners.

(v) Feedback System: The process of revision and redesign of curricula shall be based on recent market dynamics, industrial developments, research and feedback from the stakeholders including learners. The feedback from all stakeholders in terms of its relevance and appropriateness in catering to the needs of the society, economy and environment are also considered in this key aspect.

(d) Programme Monitoring and Review The Higher Educational Institution shall plan and execute programme monitoring review system which should include a programme management structure, annual programme reviews, external benchmarking, channels for collecting learner feedback, and development of improvement plans and actions to close the feedback. To maintain the quality of academic programme, it is required to conduct periodical internal reviews. For such reviews the Institution shall also consider the achievements of learning outcomes that are assessed through the examination system.

(e) Infrastructure Resources This criterion seeks to elicit data on the adequacy and optimal use of the facilities available in a University or Institution to maintain the quality of academic and other programmes – physical facilities, library (or e-library), Information Technology infrastructure, etc. It also requires information on how every constituent of the Institution; the learners, teachers or Counselors and staff - benefits from these facilities.

(f) Learning Environment and Learner Support The learner support unit is responsible for the delivery of services to all learners. The learner support services¹Hkkx IIIμ[k.M 4º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 55 including library services shall be accessed electronically by the learner. “Physical library” and classroom environment is the core requirement for programme delivery through offline and blended mode. Additionally, Higher Educational Institution shall establish virtual facilities as component of the learning environment which are focused around the pedagogical use of modern educational practices to support blended learning. Learner Support Services shall be provided through the campus-wide portal and e-Learning platform. The Institution shall take a more sophisticated approach to the use of Information and Communication Technology and expertise in e-learning. The approach shall provide a seamless learner-centred environment.

(g) Assessment & Evaluation Learning outcomes are the specifications of what a Learner shall learn and demonstrate on successful completion of the course or the programme. It can also be seen as the desired outcome of the learning process in terms of acquisition of the skills and knowledge. They are embedded in the curriculum. Achieving Learning Outcomes needs specific experiences to be

provided to the Learner and evaluation of their attainment. The Institution needs to ensure that the purposes of assessment are clearly described in the course materials, and the learners are able to access some of the assignments. A programme that states Learning Outcomes that are not evaluated or assessed gets neglected in implementation. Hence all the stated Learning Outcomes must be part of the evaluation protocol of the programme. Learner assessment provides an indication of the areas where learning has happened and where it has to be improved upon. The Higher Educational Institutions shall execute the assessment and evaluation through varied assessment tools including multiple choice questions, projects, reports, case-studies, presentations, and term-end examinations, to suit the different learning outcomes expected of the course elements. The Higher Educational Institutions shall have proper assessment and moderation system for assessing the learning outcomes of learners.

(h) Teaching Quality and Staff Development The Higher Educational Institutions shall have a well established structure for promoting quality counseling and provide staff development programmes and activities to encourage academic staff to improve teaching and learning. The Higher Educational Institution should provide the support for the academic staff in understanding and implementing the institutional learning outcomes and subject learning outcomes. The Institution also needs to ensure that the academic staff is conversant with formative and summative assessment procedures and their importance in the learning process.

Process of Quality Audit

(A) Academic Planning : The main purpose of academic planning is to ensure that the overall portfolio of delivered programmes offered by the Higher Educational Institutions is relevant to market needs, reflects the Institution’s strategic direction and offers a high quality ‘value-added’ learner experience. Academic planning promotes robust and appropriate procedures to help ensure that every new programme starts with the best chance possible to admit and retain viable learner cohorts. The Institution has a streamline modification process to support staff in ensuring that the curriculum remains up to date. The guiding principle behind this process is that all relevant stakeholders are communicated and consulted with and learners’ needs are assessed while launching new programmes.

(B) Validation : The main purpose of validation is to assure the Higher Educational Institution that a new programme is academically viable, that academic standards have been appropriately defined and that it will offer learners the best opportunity to learn.

(C) Monitoring, evaluation and enhancement plans : Across the Higher Educational Institution, there would be various levels from where the reports are being generated to ensure quality deliverance of the Open and Distance Learning programmes and their final outcomes. The same are described as follows :

(i) Reports from Learner Support Centre : The Higher Educational Institution shall collect the report of academic activities and other related activities periodically from Learner Support Centres. There should be details of all the activities related to academic planning, counseling, learner support, etc. The Higher Educational Institution shall adopt the technological solutions for easy receipt of these reports. These reports will be the base for the quality audit.

(ii) External examiner or other external agencies report: Programme development teams and Centre for Internal Quality Assurance team shall consider the comments made by experts and third party of quality audit. The Higher Educational Institution shall also encourage to consider the adoption of identified good practices that will benefit and develop the programme.

(iii) Systematic consideration of performance data at programme, faculty and Higher Educational Institution

levels : In order to make a meaningful evaluation and audit, the Higher Educational Institution needs easy access56 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC. 4] to performance monitoring information such as course pass rates, learner entry profiles and progression and achievement reports. These shall be produced and available through web-based application. The data collected through the application will be useful for report making at the Higher Educational institution.

(iv) Reporting and Analytics by the Higher Educational Institution: Further, the Higher Educational institution shall generate the required reports out of such web-based applications and analyze learner and academic analytics for deciding the improvements to be executed for stronger performance.

(v) Periodic Review : The Higher Educational institution needs to have an effective system for soliciting feedbacks from the stakeholders regularly to improve its programmes. There is a need for an integrated quality assurance system for its programmes and implementation units, including the Learner Support Centres. The Higher Educational institution needs to conduct self-assessments regularly and uses the results to improve its operations andprogrammes.

The major challenge for the Open and Distance Learning system is near absence of the teacher.

Therefore, it is very essential to pre-plan each of the activities. The learning material plays a vital role in this system and it includes Self-Learning Material in print and electronic form. A key challenge of Learning Material is ensuring that its writing is to be in a way that is engaging and which actively involves the learners. Another challenge of learning material is rapidly changing technology and deploying traditional teaching-learning methods through these technologies. Therefore, it is necessary to have the proper planning prior to development of the learning material. During the planned period, the following

points should be considered very carefully:- ● backgrounds of learner and learning needs; ● learning experiences; and ● support and preparation in adapting to flexible learning.

2. Learning materials place much more emphasis on the processes of learning. Following are the major ingredients to be considered while developing the learning material by authors (in case of print material) and instructional designers (in case of e-learning material):-

(a) learning objectives

(b) assessment of prior knowledge

(c) learning activities

(d) feedback of learning activities

(e) examples and illustrations

(f) self-assessment tests

(g) summaries and key points

(h) study tips

3. The learning material should be developed with the constructivist approach and that should lay emphasis on real- world tasks, learner’s choice of tasks or situations, case studies, collaborative learning tasks, opportunities for observing others, self-evaluation. The Higher Educational Institution may also adopt or procure the Learning Materials from expert agencies or consultant if it saves the time and cost without compromising on the quality.

Planning for development of learning material

4. Due to the near absence of the teachers in the Open and Distance Learning mode, the learner has the opportunity to take the decision(s) at any point during the learning path. This may create disagreement between learner’s perception and the objective of the learning material. Therefore, it is required to consider the following key points during planning for the development of learning material.

(a) Learner Profile : It is required to consider literacy level (including level of language proficiency), age group, information communication technology skills, aim of study, personal background and home situation, prior knowledge, prior skills, learning situations, etc.

(b) Background: In Open and Distance Learning system, learner studies at his pace and not like face-to-face mode.

Most of the learners are working professionals and they get time to study at their homes. If we add certain references which they cannot access at home, then it will create an obstacle in their learning. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the accessibility of course resources and references at the place of learning.

(c) Learning Objectives and Outcome : It is required to define the learning objectives and outcomes prior to initiating the process for the learning material development. The learning objectives can be of terminal, intermediate or enabling nature. These learning objectives can be set at course, unit, or module level.

Group of Learning Material

5. Considering the principles of Open and Distance Learning mode of education, the programmes shall be accompanied with learning material or resources which shall comprise of self-learning material or e-learning material, e-books, practical64 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC. 4] book, student’s handbook, question bank, assignment book, Audio Video material, programme guide, project manual, etc.

Standards of Self Learning Material (SLM) in Print Form

(i) The Self Learning Material shall be developed as per the defined credit structure of the programme.

(ii) The Self Learning Material shall involve the learner actively through various experience-based activities and assignments.

(iii) The learner shall get the clear information about the structure of the programme and the course.

(iv) There shall be a detailed learning map in the Self Learning Material for the learner so that she or he will be self- directed for completion of their studies.

5. Norms for Empanelment of Academic Counsellors and Counselling Sessions

5.1. Eligibility conditions for appointment of academic counselors: No academic staff in the Study Centre or Learner Support Centre shall be appointed who does not fulfill the minimum qualifications as laid down in the University Grants Commission (Minimum Qualifications for Appointment of Teachers and other Academic Staff in the Universities and Colleges and Measures for the Maintenance of Standards in Higher Education) Regulation, 2010 as modified from time to time. In addition, such academic staff should have familiarity with the characteristics of Open and Distance Learning mode learners and their needs, difference between Open and Distance Learning and conventional face – to - face education, awareness about instructional design, familiarity with the learner centered approach in blended mode of learning, ability to use different delivery media including online and computer mediated communication and Information and Communication Technology enabled learning.

5.2. Norms for Contact Programmes: Credit Based System has been followed by Open and Distance Learning single mode Higher Educational Institutions during the last more than two decades and it has got standardised for programme delivery especially by the Open Universities. Such credits depend on the total number of hours that a learner is required to cover for all activities like participation in Contact Programmes, Working on Assignments, Library Consultation etc., in completing a course. In this direction, University Grants Commission has recently issued guidelines for introduction of Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) which has been made mandatory for all Higher Educational Institutions delivering education through conventional mode. Accordingly, for Post Graduate programmes in Open and Distance Learning mode, 16 credits per semester are assigned for a total of four semesters. In Open and Distance Learning mode Programme delivery, the component of contact with teachers is comparatively much lower than the conventional or face to face mode which is complemented by self-learning on the part of the learner. Therefore, one credit in regular or face to face mode accounts for 15 teaching hours,

whereas, in Open and Distance Learning mode it is 30 study hours of study including face to face contact component.

Comparative credits assigned per semester in Choice Based Credit System for conventional mode and Open and Distance Learning mode for undergraduate programmes is given below in Table 1.¹Hkkx IIIμ[k.M 4º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 69 Table 1. Comparative Credits in Conventional and Open and Distance Learning Modes Total VI V IV III II I Semester 144 25 26 26 25 22 20 Credits Conventional mode 96 16 16 16 16 16 16 Credits in Open and Distance Learning It will be desirable to ensure uniformity in distribution of units between the two systems as far as possible.

Thus, taking into account the number of hours indicated in Choice Based Credit System for conventional mode and the percentage of hours required for face-to-face Contact Programmes for learners in Open and Distance Learning mode, the following table is provided for norms for counseling sessions in theory and practical courses with Open and Distance Learning credit value for Open and Distance Learning mode programme delivery.

Table 2: Contact Theory and Practical Sessions Four Courses with a total of 16 Credits per semester Number of 10-12 credits for theory and 6-4 Credits for practical counseling for theory only

courses Courses:

Assignments contact sessions-practical** Contact sessions- Four courses of 4 credits each theory* Four per semester 60 hours of guided experiments 40-48 hours 16 hours per course with support of internal supervisor per 2 credits

Note: *Contact session up to the extent of twenty percent could be arranged by providing Massive Open Online Courses and other online programme delivery systems. ** Practical sessions to the extent of twenty percent could be provided through virtual lab mode Comparative value of credits mentioned in the University Grants Commission Guidelines for Choice Based Credit System in conventional mode and that in practice in Open and Distance Learning mode Institutions, it is observed that for a total of six semester undergraduate programme each of nearly 5-6 months duration, 16 credits per semester are uniformly assigned in the Open and Distance Learning mode, whereas, in the University Grants Commission guidelines for conventional mode on an average 24 credits per semester have been assigned. Thus, the ratio of a credit in Open and Distance Learning mode to that of the conventional mode is 2:3. In line with the pattern of credits for Under Graduate programmes, for Post Graduate programmes in Open and Distance Learning mode, 16 credits per semester are assigned for a total of four semesters. The foregoing comparative value could be used to facilitate both vertical and horizontal mobility of learners from Open and Distance Learning mode to Conventional mode and vice versa through mutual transfer of credits.

6. Deployment of manpower and other support at study or Learner Support Centres The Study Centres or Learner Support Centres shall be headed by a Coordinator, not below the rank of an Assistant Professor and shall be augmented with academic and non-academic staff depending on the number of learners assigned for adequate support to the learners. Capacity of intake per programme should be commensurate with the available qualified faculty in relevant area, well equipped laboratory, library, online connectivity and Information and Communication Technology facilities, and appropriate infrastructure. Normally it would be expected to restrict total intake capacity for Open and70 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC. 4] Distance Learning programme to the capacity specified for a similar programme being conducted in the conventional mode by the Higher Educational Institution where the Study Centres or Learner Support Centres is located but in no case it should exceed two times of that.

(i) Number of qualified counsellors per theory course of 4 credits: 2 to 4.

(ii) Number of qualified supervisors per practical course of 2 credits: 1 or more.

(iii) Availability of laboratory: The laboratory should be in a recognised Higher Educational Institution running a similar course in conventional mode for a period of not less than 3 years.

(iv) Ideally, total number of learners admitted at any Study Centres or Learner Support Centres should not exceed 500 at any time, but for those located in Higher Educational Institutions providing education to more than 1500 students, the total strength of Open and Distance Learning mode learners at any time should not exceed 1000, subject to fulfilment of other conditions as described under paragraph 2.

7. Conduct of End Semester or Term End Examination

(i) All Examinations for Open and Distance Learning mode programmes shall be conducted within the Institution where the Study Centres or Learner Support Centres is located under the direct control and responsibility of the Open and Distance Learning mode Institution. Also, all Government Institutions like Kendriya Vidyalaya(s), Navodaya Vidyalaya(s), Sainik School(s) etc. can also be identified as examination centre(s) under direct overall supervision of Open University or Higher Educational Institution offering education under the Open and Distance Learning mode.

(ii) All processes of assessment of learners in different components of Testing and Examination shall be directly handled by the Open and Distance Learning mode Institution and no part of the assessment shall be outsourced.

(iii) For ensuring transparency and credibility, full time faculty of the Open and Distance Learning mode Higher Educational Institutions or qualified faculty from University Grants Commission recognised Higher Educational Institutions only should be associated to function as invigilators, examination superintendents, as observers etc.

(iv) The Examination Centre should have adequate seating capacity and amenities including adequate lighting, ventilation, washrooms and clean drinking water facilities.

8. Monitoring of functioning of the Learner Support Centres or Study Centres Generally, the Open and Distance Learning mode Higher Educational Institutions have to manage a fairly large and well spread system with a variety of learner centric operations for a number of heterogeneous groups of learners to meet their expectations and self-learning requirements using multimode programme delivery. To effectively manage these challenges and complex operations for a learner at a distance, a very dynamic interactive communication system between Headquarters, regional centres and study centres has to be established on priority. Thus, it is desirable that an Information and Communication Technology network connecting the Head-Quarters, Regional Centres and Study Centre or Learner Support

Centres should be established at the earliest and used for faster and reliable operations such as:- i. username and login ID should be generated for every learner so that learners can see all relevant information as their studies progress in an Open and Distance Learning programme and also provide constructive feedback for improvement in Open and Distance Learning programme delivery;

ii. headquarters, Regional Centres and Study Centre or Learner Support Centres should maintain a web portal giving all relevant information about the Open and Distance Learning programmes being a delivered and the content of these should be updated at least on a weekly basis;

iii. regional centres should collect a holistic report about all functions assigned to Study Centres or Learner Support Centres and all aspects of quality of programme delivery periodically especially during the Admissions, Examinations, and Counselling Sessions etc., and at least weekly share a consolidated report with the Head quarters;

iv. these reports along with responses by learners should be periodically analysed for the quality audit of a programme and its delivery besides the quality of performance of the Study Centres or Learner Support Centres;

v. any remedial action should be jointly ensured by the headquarters, Regional Centres and Study Centres or Learner Support Centres promptly; vi. regular visits, at least twice a year by the academic staff of the Higher Educational Institution for on the spot monitoring and interaction with functionaries of the Regional Centres and Study Centres or Learner Support Centres, the learners and the counselors; and vii. ensuring access of “Swayam” and other repositories of Massive Open Online Courses by the learners at Study Centres or Learner Support Centres.¹Hkkx IIIμ[k.M 4º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 71 Closure of Non-performing Study Centre or Learner Support Centre:

In case a Study Centre or Learner Support Centre fails to adhere to the prescribed norms or guidelines, the Higher Educational Institution shall initiate action for closure of the centre by following due procedures, so that interest of learners are taken care by some alternative arrangement.
