CBSE encourages creation of innovative content on classroom teaching for uploading on Diksha portal.
The Ministry of Human Resource Development and National Council of Teachers Education have taken an initiative to address the need of a digital national platform for teachers and have named it DIKSHA.
DIKSHA attempts to synergize countrywide developments in the field of education by providing teachers with an opportunity to share their best practices related to classroom teaching and pedagogical innovations with their community. By contributing the best content to DIKSHA, one may help a large base of teachers across the country.
CBSE plans to select the content contributed for uploading on DIKSHA. In the context of above, CBSE is calling on all the schools affiliated to the Board to come forward and encourage their teachers to appear on the national platform by grabbing this opportunity.
DIKSHA (https://diksha.gov.in/) is already being used by many teachers and students across states and existing patterns of usage clearly highlights that the content which can help them understand the concept in a simple way is what they are liking the most and majority of them are concept explanation videos.
Content is to be prepared on topics covered under curriculum of classes I to XII. Teachers whose contribution of content will be selected for upload on DIKSHA will be duly recognized by assigning due weightage in selection Criteria of CBSE Teachers Awards finalized henceforth by CBSE. Further, these teachers may be chosen to be a part of CBSE’s national content creation team.
Some Guidelines to create the content:
● Choose a topic for which you want to create the content. If the topic is too big to explain in a go, consider breaking it into multiple sub topics.
● As you start creating the content for these sub topics, do look at some of the reference videos given in the circular attached below.
● Try keeping the length of the content within 2 to 4 mins.
● Use materials/artefacts to “SHOW” the concept as much as possible.
● It is always good to do some research on the topic by looking at other videos online or by reading about the topic and its concept.
● Write and practice the script with materials/artefacts before shooting the video.
● Record the video in a quiet environment and ensure ample light on the focussed materials.
● Try to add text or title overlay in the video (during, before, after) which can assist the learner towards better understanding.
