Dear All, Please find below my brief report of the interaction with KISS faculty and students.
We (Nichole Saad, Education Program Manager,WMF, Sailesh Patnaik and Tanveer Hasan, CIS-A2K) conducted a day long meeting with faculty members and students of KISS, Bhubaneswar. The discussion began with an analysis of the earlier iteration of the KISS Program. It was very encouraging to know that the management of KISS and teachers who had taken part in the earlier WEP program consider that WEP activity to be a successful pedagogic practice and also were enthusiastic to revive the idea. While lack of follow-up was cited to be the primary reason for the WEP initiative losing steam, we felt that Faculty members are not willing to internally on-board the program and consider the WEP as an outside intervention. It was also decided that to ensure sustainability, a focused training program for teaching faculty will be organised before any student activities will be planned. We conducted an activity to assess the challenges and resources required for the successful implementation of activities. As a measure to ensure participation and internal commitment towards any future activities at KISS we have asked the faculty members to share with us their academic calendar, lesson plans and approved syllabus. We would like to work with the Odia community members upon receiving of these documents in stitching together a plan of activities. Few of the students who participated in the orientation were successful in creating accounts. I shall keep all of you further developments updated regarding this initiative...
