Is there any possibility that those from industry create such opportunity.. Currently i see lot of engg students completing 2ndyear, vaguely trying for IPT, without knowing what it is.. the most common destination for CS, IT and Electronics student is BSNL :) > They do not tend to use collaboration softwares because they have nothing > sorta collaboration in their curriculum and expecting them to come out of > their curriculum jail is something that I don't see happening in near > future. Very valid.. Wondering If not us, who is going to tie the bell.. is there any other possibility, that the students can be motivated inspite of such **handicap** Best way is to make the teaching community addict to using these collobarative tools for their own purpose.. Like maintaining a separate server, which hosts an email server (initially for staffs alone for internal communication) , and webserver.. deploying wiki to maintain and update syllabuses, and other course materials.. Deploying a blog to maintain communications... By opening the server to the internet, it would create a change in how they operate.. if we make it as a habit, it will be a starting point, i feel. I feel, this is achievable.. If we could demonstrate in one college, others will automatically follow.. for that we need momentum and co-ordinated effort from ourselves..

Passion and vision is what required most.. But who is going to infuse those? I feel, it doesnt come automatically.. we need some path breaking initiative to break this deadlock.. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
