Using the LMS

To access the LMS, you will need to use a computer connected to the Internet and having a standard browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) installed. If you do not know what this means, do not worry: you will undergo an orientation session during the first few days of your initial semester. You may also ask a knowledgeable friend to assist you initially.

How to ask Questions

The facility of the MDB (Moderated Discussion Board) has been provided to ask questions relevant to lessons. The recommended procedure is to

• Read handouts prior to taking video lecture
• View the video lecture and prepare key notes
• Read the  relevant page/section of the handout/ recommended books and visit the internet links as mentioned in the course calendar
• Discuss and share ideas on the discussion board
• Ask questions on the discussion board.

After logging on to the LMS, first check the FAQs for the course to see if your queries have been addressed in any previous semester. If not, go to the open MDB for the course (only one session will be “open”; other sessions will be readable but you may post questions only on the “open” board) and post your question. Tutors will respond to your queries within a short period of time. You are also encouraged to read questions from other students and the tutors’ responses to them. This will improve your understanding of the subject matter. Remember, the MDB are always readable throughout the semester so they form a very valuable asset when you are preparing for semester examinations.
