Challenge     Myself, team member of IT team of my university which is responsible for making suitable  softwares for online teaching of students. Challenges are:

• How to engage students effectively in online teaching  • How to mark their attendance  • How to provide them study materials  • How to conduct sessional test and end term examination  • How to interact  • How to teach practical courses etc.  •

Selection     My team members are following design thinking process. Now we are prepared to have  learning launch as it will help us in the shortest possible time to value different ideas generated  and their implementation thereof.    Application     First of all, we collaborated with an IT industry which was into providing online platforms.  Team members were trained about different modules of online softwares available. But we  were very specific about our inputs. Finally a unique software was designed after considering  our requirements. It was AI based software where attendance was already marked for the  student if he or she is present more than 60% of the lecture duration.    To interact with student, he or she required to be unlocked. Student could tal and present PPt  etc. in addition to chat. Provision was also made to automatically evaluate the test and  examinations if answer key was made available to Admin. It was very user friendly to upload  assignments and quizzes etc.    Insight     After applying learning launch tool, all the members were trained. Then the software was tested  with few students and was successful. All the students were happy. It was having more features  than ZOOM. Processes were adequate enough.
