Question and answers
Part - A
1.
Define W.W.W (April/May 2014)
IT Stands for “World Wide Web." It is important to know that this is not a synonym for
the Internet. The World Wide Web, or just "the Web," as ordinary people call it, is a
subset of the Internet. The Web consists of pages that can be accessed using a Web
browser.
2) What is Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)? (April/May 2014)
The Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the method used to transfer Web
pages to your computer. With hypertext, a word or phrase can contain a link to another Web
site. All Web pages are written in the hyper-text markup language (HTML), which works in
conjunction with HTTP.
3) Define E-Mail.
Email, short for "electronic mail," is one of the most widely used features of
the Internet, along with the web. It allows you to send and receive messages to and from
anyone with an email address, anywhere in the world.
4) How to send and receive e-mail?
To send and receive e-mail messages you can use an e-mail program, also known
as an e-mail client such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird. When using an email client you must have a server that stores and delivers your e-mail this service is
provided by your ISP but can also be a service provided by another company. The e-mail
client will connect to the server to download all new e-mail and deliver any unsent email.
5) How to write an e-mail?
When writing a new e-mail message a window similar to the example below
will appear. As can be seen, several fields are required when sending an e-mail, the From
or Reply-To is a field that is automatically filled out and is where the e-mail returns if a
reply is made. Next, the CC
or Carbon Copy field allows you to send a copy of
the message to another e-mail address, but is not a required field. The To field is where
you type the e-mail address of who you are sending the e-mail address.
6) How to Attach a document with an E-Mail?
RAAK/UENE64/PARTHIBAN/III YEAR/VI Sem/UENE64/TME/UNIT-1
QB/VER 1.0
Unit – 1 Question Bank Page 3 of 57
ACADEMIC YEAR: 2014 – 2015
REGULATION CBCS - 2012
When referring to e-mail, an attachment is a file sent with the an e-mail
message. An attachment can be a picture, a word document, a movie, a sound file,
an excel document, or any other file that requires another program to open it. In addition
to
the
files
mentioned
above,
attachments
may
also
include
computer viruses, Trojans, worms, or other malware. Unless you were expecting an
attachment from the user sending you the e-mail, we suggest not open the attachment,
even if it is from someone you know. Viruses and worms can use address books to help
spread the virus and make it appear to be a valid e-mail.
7) Define BCC in E-mail.
It Means Blind Carbon Copy, BCC sends copies of e-mail without displaying any
of the names or e-mails in the e-mail. Keep in mind that most programs do not display the
BCC field; however, anyone familiar with their e-mail program can enable this field to
see all e-mail addresses and names.
8) What is the use of Mail-Merge?
A mail merge is a capability of database software, word processors, and some email programs that take a standard form and formats that form with unique fields such as
e-mail address, name, address, phone number, or other personal information to make the
message look unique. For example, a standard form may look like the example below.
9) How to Search in Internet?
Tool for finding information, especially on the INTERNET or WORLD WIDE WEB. Search
engines are essentially massive DATABASES that cover wide swaths of the Internet. Most
consist of three parts: at least one program, called a spider, crawler, which “crawls”
through the Internet gathering information; a database, which stores the gathered
information; and a search tool, with which users search through the database by typing in
keywords describing the information desired (usually at a Web site dedicated to the
search engine).
10) List out Some of the Search Engine.
1. Dog pile
2. Ask
3. Duck Duck Go
4. Bing.
5. Google.
6. Yippy.
7. Mahalo.
8. Yahoo.
11) What is the use of Search Engine?
On the Internet, a search engine is a coordinated set of programs that
includes: A spider (also called a "crawler" or a "bot") that goes to every page or
representative pages on every Web site that wants to be searchable and reads it, using
hypertext links on each page to discover and read a site's other pages A program that
creates a huge index (sometimes called a "catalog") from the pages that have been read A
program that receives your search request, compares it to the entries in the index, and

13) What is the purpose of E-mail?
E-mail (electronic mail) is the exchange of computer-stored messages by
telecommunication. (Some publications spell it email; we prefer the currently more
established spelling of e-mail.) E-mail messages are usually encoded in ASCII text.
However, you can also send non-text files, such as graphic images and sound files, as
attachments sent in binary streams. E-mail was one of the first uses of the Internet and is
still the most popular use.
14) What are the Types of E-mail?
1. Marketing E-mails

1. Explain About History of WWW in Detail?
WORLD WİDE WEB
The World Wide Web (WWW) allows computer users to position and view
multimedia-based documents (i.e., documents with text, graphics, animations, audios
and/or videos) on almost any subject. Even though the Internet was developed more than
three decades ago, the introduction of the WWW was a relatively recent event. In 1990,
Tim Berners-Lee of CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics) developed the
World Wide Web and several communication protocols that form the backbone of the
WWW. The Internet and the World Wide Web will surely be listed among the most
significant and profound creations of humankind. In the past, most computer applications
ran on stand-alone computers. (i.e., computers that were not connected to one another)
Today’s applications can be written to communicate among the world’s hundreds of
millions of computers.
The Internet makes our work easier by mixing computing and communications
technologies. It makes Information immediately and conveniently accessible worldwide.
It makes it possible for individuals and small businesses to get worldwide contact. In the
last decade, the Internet and World Wide Web have altered the way people communicate,
conduct business and manage their daily lives. They are changing the nature of the way
business is done.
2. What are the Uses of W.W.W in E-Business?
Electronic business: (e-business) is comprised of e-marketing, e-commerce, and
e-operations. Let’s look at brief definitions of them, respectively, to begin this course
with the top summary view. E-business: The application of Internet technology to
streamline all aspects of business processes. E-marketing: Building an online presence,
showcasing a company, and providing detailed information. (The majority of small
businesses on the Internet today are actively doing e-marketing.)
E-commerce: Selling products and services online, conducting payment, handling
transaction details, and supporting automated customer inquiries.
E-operations: Streamlining of business processes and steps to enhance business
efficiencies between functional departments of a company. (This also includes
streamlining the supply chain between your company and key suppliers.)
3. How to Create an E-mail ID?
The Following Steps are used for Creating an E-mail ID
Step 1: Open the Gmail web site
To create your Gmail account you only need a web browser and an internet
connection. Go to http://gmail.google.com. You should now get to a page that looks
something like the one below. Click on the Sign up for Gmail link circled in the
screenshot and then proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Enter all the required information in the "Create anAccount" online
form
After you click on the signup link, you shall be shown the Create an Account
form with several fields that need your inputs. Do not worry if the screen displayed to
you and the screenshot image on the left are not exactly the same. You now need to start
filling the form. Once you have entered your first and last names, it is time to choose a

REGULATION CBCS - 2012
login name. This is important as your login name will decide the email address you will
get, and in case of a Gmail account, would be your-chosen-login- name@gmail.com.
Step 3: How to choose a login name or username for your email address
Choosing a login name is part art and part common sense. And because it
determines what your email address will be, we suggest you spend a little time over it.
Since, email addresses need to be unique which means no two people in the world can
have the same address, there is no guarantee that your preferred login name would be
available. The following are advice and suggestions on how to choose a login or
username.
Step 4: Choosing a password for your email
Securing your Gmail email account with a strong password is imperative. Think
of the
Pass word as the key combination to your safe and you need to give the same amount of
importance. A combination of uppercase and lowercase letters with some digits thrown in
would be a strong enough password. on the right of the text fields in which you enter your
password a sort of meter would indicate the strength of the password. You need to enter
the password twice and you can leave the "Remember me on this computer" box
unchecked.
Step 5: Protecting your Gmail account with a security question
You now need to either select a security question from the drop down list or enter
one and you need to provide the answer. This additional security helps in getting your email
account password if you forget it.
Step 6: Word verification and confirmation
After providing your secondary email address - you can leave this blank, if you
don't have one - and your location, you need to enter the characters that you see in the
picture above
the field in your form. Why is this required? So that Gmail knows the inputs are from a
human being and not some automated program. Now that everything is set, you can go
through the Terms of Service and click on the "I accept. Create my account." button
which will create your very own free Gmail account!

1) Give a brief Account about W.W.W
The World Wide Web (WWW) can be viewed as a huge distributed system consisting
of millions of clients and servers for accessing linked documents. Servers maintain
collections of documents, while clients provide users an easy- to-use interface for presenting
and accessing those documents.
The Web started as a project at CERN, the European Particle Physics Labora- tory in
Geneva, to let its large and geographically dispersed group of researchers provide access to
shared documents using a simple hypertext system. A document could be anything that could be
displayed on a user’s computer terminal, such as personal notes, reports, figures, blueprints,
drawings, and so on. By linking documents to each other, it became easy to integrate documents
from different projects into a new document without the necessity for centralized changes. The
only thing needed was to construct a document providing links to other relevant documents (see
also Berners-Lee et al., 1994).
The Web gradually grew worldwide encompassing sites other than high- energy
physics, but popularity really increased when graphical user interfaces became available,
notably Mosaic (Vetter et al., 1994).
Mosaic provided an easy-to-use interface to present and access documents by merely
clicking the mouse.
A document was fetched from a server, transferred to a client, and presented on
the screen. To a user, there was conceptually no difference between a document stored locally
or in another part of the world.
Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
A URL is comparable to an IOR in CORBA and a contact address in Globe. It specifies
where a document is located, often by embedding the DNS name of its associated server
along with a file name by which the server can look up the document in its local file system.
Furthermore, a URL specifies the application-level protocol for transferring the document across
the network. There are different protocols available, as we explain below.
2) List out Some of the Internet Protocols.

Protocol: A computer communication protocol is a description of the rules computers
must follow to communicate with each other.
TCP/IP is the communication protocol for communication between computers on the
Internet.
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol.
TCP/IP defines how electronic devices (like computers) should be connected to the
Internet, and
how data should be transmitted between them.
TCP is used for transmission of data from an application to the network.
IP takes care of the communication with other computers.
HTTP - Hyper Text Transfer Protocol

SMTP is used for transmission of e-mails.
IMAP - Internet Message Access Protocol
IMAP is used for storing and retrieving e-mails.
POP - Post Office Protocol
POP is used for downloading e-mails from an e-mail server to a personal computer.

Domain Names:
• Servers on the Internet also have human-readable names, called domain names. For
example, www.mywebsite.com
• The name www.mywebsite.com actually has three parts:
 The host name ("www")
 The domain name (“my website")
 The top-level domain name ("com") .
CLIENTS AND SERVERS
• Client
 Is an arbitrary application program
 Is invoked directly by a user, and executes only for one session.
 Runs locally on user’s personal computer
 Actively initiates contact with server
 Can access multiple services as needed
 Does not required special hardware or a sophisticated operating system
• Server
 Is a special-purpose, privileged program
 Is invoked automatically when a system boots, and continues to execute through
many sessions
 Runs on shared computers
 Waits passively for contact from arbitrary remote clients.

ISP (Internet Service Provider)
An ISP is a company that supplies Internet connectivity to home and business customers.
ISPs support one or more forms of Internet access, ranging from traditional modem dial-up to
DSL and cable modem broadband service to dedicated T1/T3 lines. More recently, wireless
Internet service providers or ISPs have emerged that offer Internet access through wireless LAN
or wireless broadband networks .In addition to basic connectivity, many ISPs also offer related
Internet services like email, Web hosting and access to software tools.
3) Give a brief account about Email.
Email, short for Electronic Mail, consists of messages which are sent and received
using the
Internet. While there are many different email services available that allow you to create an
email account and send and receive email and attachments, we have chosen to focus this class on
the services available through Gmail and Yahoo! Mail because they are free and are two of the
more popular email services available.
 It's fast. Most messages are delivered within minutes – sometimes seconds –
around the world without the inconvenience and cost of using a postal service. In
fact, postal service is often referred to as "snail mail" by email users.
 It's personal. While the nature of email is informal, its efficiency is an excellent
substitute for telephone conversations.
 You can think through your response. Like a letter, you can type your reply and
make changes before sending.
 The sender and the receiver don't have to be working at the same time.
 Email avoids problems such as telephone tag or tying to contact someone in a
different time zone.
 Email makes it easy to keep a record of your communication. You can save and
refer to
later copies of the emails you send as well as those you receive.
 You can reach a lot of people at once. It is possible to send one message to
hundreds of
 recipients at once, or you can send a private message to one individual.
 The Cons
 Junk Mail (also referred to as spam). This is as annoying in email as it is with
traditional
 mail. Most email services now filter incoming mail and sort email messages that
are
 most likely advertisements or scams into a folder called “spam.”
 Friendly spam. Try not to forward unnecessary messages to friends who may not

 appreciate hearing the latest list of “Top Ten Things…”
 Ads. The reason you can get free email services like Gmail and Yahoo! Mail is
because
 of advertisements. You pay the price of having to click around them to read your
mail.
 Misinterpretation. Email arrives without tone or facial expressions, which can
lead to
 Email messages can be passed on to others. You should always count on the
possibility
 of your message ending up in the inbox of someone it wasn't intended for.
 You can hide behind email. It's tempting to use email instead of facing a person
when
 you have to deal with an unpleasant situation. It's best to talk to a person face-toface
 under these circumstances.
 Don’t use email for:
 Long or complicated messages
 Sometimes it's more effective to speak to someone in person or on the phone. It
 can be difficult to effectively write down a complicated message in email format.
 Questions that require a lot of clarification
 If a message is going to require several exchanges back and forth to make sure it
 is understood, more direct communication is best.
 Delivering indiscreet, sensitive, or private information.
 While your email account is personal, keep in mind that, while rare, passwords
 have been stolen and there are ways for interested parties to intercept information.
 Do not send your social security number, credit card number, or bank account
 information in an email if it can be avoided.
4) Write a Note on Advantages and Disadvantages of the e-mail
Advantages:
E-mail is fairly fast. Using e-mail, the delivery of a message can take a few seconds to a
day or so, this depends on the network transmission and the delay in the recipient's reading. Email is asynchronous communication, which means communication that does not occur at the
same time. Thus one sends a message, which can be read by the recipient at any time, which is
convenient for him or her. This is a very useful factor for communicating between long
distances and different world time zones.
Another important advantage in use of e-mail is its rather cheap service. Thus e-mail
allows one to have a large number of correspondents worldwide (one can sent an e-mail to

New Zealand being himself/herself situated somewhere in Europe for example), with cost of a
single local call. Or when one uses online e-mail services (e.g. yahoo, hot mail etc.) then it is
absolutely free of charge.
Disadvantages
The majority of the e-mails are delivered to the correct addressee. However, sometimes,
messages may be delivered to individuals other than the sender or recipient. This could occur
because of a simple mistake: the address of the recipient was typed incorrectly (one wrong
letter makes an error), or there has been a transmission error etc.
Another thing that can be considered as a disadvantage is that in many cases the storage limit
of the e-mail inbox is not that big. This mainly goes for online free services.
E.g. in Yahoo mail one can store up to 4mb and in Hotmail even less, only 2mb.
Advantages:
Speed
Great distances around the world can be bridged within seconds.
Data
Processing
E-Mail consists of electronic information. It is therefore easy to
process the data
Mail Lists

with the latest information by various newsletters etc.
Disadvantages:
Mail Overflow Mail Overflow
There is such a problem as “junk mail”. Often users receive unwanted e-mail, such as
advertisement, all sorts of free offers or newsletters from the adult sites etc. The amount of
unwanted mail can easily rise to such a level that it becomes an annoyance. And often it is
really hard or even not possible to prevent this “junk- mail” from entering ones e-mail box.
In general the e-mail services have junk-mail filter functions, but even those sometimes
are not enough.This could cause a problem, when the inbox is over flown by unwanted e-mail,
and thus the recipient might not receive some important messages (which are not junkmail).This again is a problem in free online services (as mentioned earlier).

messages, so that privacy of correspondence will not
be guaranteed.

5) What is the search technique using internet?
Technique 1:
Choose the Right Search Tool or Technique If you looking for Web pages containing
specific words or phrases, search engines, such as Google, provide a fast and efficient
means of locating those pages. For a broader view of the information on the Internet, or
when you are unfamiliar with a topic, you can use subject directories, such as the World
Wide Web Virtual Library, to acquaint yourself with the field and select the most
appropriate information resources. Sometimes your best approach is to intuitively guess
at the name of the site that might hold the information you seek. Unfortunately, search
engines, subject directories, and informed guesses cannot find the vast majority of Web
pages on the Internet because they are stored in databases, inaccessible by conventional
search tools and techniques. Instead, you must use specialty search resources to locate
this hidden content
Technique 2: Use Advanced Search Operators The major search engines, such as
Google, offer advanced search operators that let you really zero in what you are looking
for on the Internet. For example, in Google you can use the site: operator to search a
particular Web site for information. Type health care crisis site: www.newsweek.com
into Google and it will return a list of articles in Newsweek.com that mention the health
care crisis. Let’s assume that you have found an expert on the health care crisis in one of
thearticles you read at Newsweek.com and now want to read more about subject by the
same author. Simply type health care crisis author:Dr. Marc Nuwer into Google and you
will receive more than 1,300 search results to choose from. Google offers many other
powerful advanced
search operators, such as location: to restrict a search to a particular country (e.g.,
health care crisis location: UK), info: to discover details about a site (e.g.,
info:www.newsweek.com), or link: to see who is linking to a site (e.g.,
link:www.newsweek.com). To learn more about these advanced search operators, visit
Google Guide Quick Reference: Google Advanced Operators, Yahoo! Meta Search
Words, and Bing: Advanced Search Keywords.
Technique 3: Google is Not the Only Game in Town Although Google is by far
and away the most popular search engine, no single search engine, not even Google, can
cover even a fraction of the entire Internet. To perform a more comprehensive search of
the Internet and, hence, increase your odds of finding additional useful information about
a topic, be sure to use these other general purpose
search engines: All The Web, Alta Vista ,AOL Search, Ask, Bing, Hot bot, Surf Wax,

Unit – 1 Question Bank Page 19 of 57
ACADEMIC YEAR: 2014 – 2015
REGULATION CBCS - 2012
and Yahoo!
Technique 4: Use Meta search Engines
Since each search engine covers different portions of the Internet at different
times, to perform a thorough search of the Internet, you should query as many search
engines as possible. However, going to each search engine and repeatedly entering the
same search query is both time consuming and tedious. Meta search engines let you enter
your query just once and then query multiple search engines simultaneously, returning a
compilation of search results from all the search engines queried. The best meta search
engines eliminate duplicate results and even rank the results based on relevancy to your
query. The potential time saved by using a meta search engine is offset by the limitation
that often the most popular search engines are not queried by a meta search engine
because of legal and fee issues. Thus, the most thorough search strategy is to employ
meta search engines in combination with the individual search engines (i.e., Google and
Bing).Some of the more powerful meta search engines include: dogpile, Mamma,
ixquick, metacrawler, Search.com, and Vivisimo.

9. Explain about E-mail projects in details.
This is intended only as a basic outline of what it takes to manage a legitimate bulk e-mail list. Seek
expert advice from appropriate companies and consultants for a more complete understanding of the
complicated issues of legitimate bulk e-mail. Remember, all bulk e-mail must be opt in, otherwise it is
unsolicited. And Unsolicited Bulk E-mail (UBE) is spam!
1. Address acquisition - Make sure it's Opt In. E-pending is not Opt In. If the recipient didn't ask for it in
the first place, the rest of the list management processes are irrelevant. While various transactions and
business relationships can infer permission, if there's any doubt, or for any on-going bulk e-mail
relationship, closed-loop Confirmed Opt In (COI) is the gold standard for verifying permission, in use
since about 1996. Some examples of software which use COI include Majordomo-2, EZMLM, Mailman,
and Lyris.
For more on COI, see:

2. Truth in advertising - State your policies and the nature of the bulk email at the point of subscription. Tell the subscriber what to expect: how
often, how big, what kind, what topics and content, etc. Don't hide
information about the subscription on remote pages, behind hyperlinks, or
buried
in
jargon,
legalese,
and
obfuscation.
3. Identify your company properly in the message itself and in Internet
records. Use properly registered domains with working mail and web
addresses. Every domain you use should identify your company and lead
to a website identifying your company. Don't hide behind ever-changing
mazes of domains (snowshoe spamming). Anonymized whois records just
shout "hey, I'm trying to hide something!" So does using only an image for
your
name
and
address
in
the
mail.
Use
proper SPF records
and DKIMsignatures. Stand behind every message you send saying "we
sent that mail and we accept responsibility for sending it." Make your
online
identity
as
solid
as
a
brick-and-mortar
business.
4. Maintenance - Keep your list current! Remove unsubscription requests
and bounces promptly, as close to real-time as possible, no later than the
same day. Mail the list at regular intervals. Unmailed lists provoke high
complaint rates when they reactivate, even from truly opt-in addresses.
Addresses "churn" over time, that is, they are abandoned or re-used. For
most commercial lists, mail at least once per week and remove any
address with three sequential bounces, or with sequential bounces for
more
than
two
weeks.
5. Bounce processing - Respect what the recipient's server tells you.
SMTP "5xy" codes mean "No!"Bouncing your mail off the filters but
showing up in the logs, or resuming spamming after filter rules come
down, is a sure-fire way to really annoy server operators and mailbox

owners alike. Addresses being converted to spamtraps will typically reject
(5xy) all deliveries for about six months...you certainly don't want those
on your list so make sure they bounce off!
10. What are the Uses of web-quest?
Class Teams - Classes could be divided into teams working on the same topic, but different Web
Quests. On completion of the Web Quests, students could gather together as a class to share
their experiences and perspectives on the topic.
One WebQuest Focus- The whole class can work through one WebQuest on-line. Although
each group would be creating their own results, it allows for valuable conversations to occur
amongst groups, aiding in their learning.
Limited access to the Lab - Where classes have only weekly access to the lab, the focus might
be for students to do all internet research during that time, and leave the other components for
off-line sessions in the classroom or library.
On-line and off-line work - If access to on-line computers is limited, many Web Quests allow, or
can be adapted for groups to work on and off-line. Some students may take turns using the
computer, while others are researching using other methods (interviewing community
members, making phone calls to relevant establishments, conducting surveys, visiting the library
etc.)
Using the Library - In collaboration with the Information Literacy teacher, teachers working
together can give students the opportunity to use library resources and Information
Communication Technology (ICT) skills. Both can act as facilitators throughout the process and
draw on each others expertise to get the most out of students and the WebQuest they are
working on. The library might be an area where some groups work off-line with one teacher
while other groups are working on line with the other.
Rotations – Web Quests can be used as an activity for a class rotation in which small groups
work on the computer for the period of the Web Quest before moving onto the next activity. All
activities could focus on the same issue, topic, theme, concept or KLA.

To create your Gmail account you only need a web browser and an internet connection.
Go to http://gmail.google.com. You should now get to a page that looks something like the one
below. Click on the Sign up for Gmail link circled in the screenshot and then proceed to the next
step.
Step 2: Enter al l t h e r e q u i r e d i n f o r m a t i o n i n t h e “ Create a n A c c o u n t " online form
After you click on the signup link, you shall be shown the Create an Account form with
several fields that need your inputs. Do not worry if the screen displayed to you and the
screenshot image on the left are not exactly the same. You now need to start filling the form.
Once you have entered your first and last names, it is time to choose a login name. This is
important as your login name will decide the email address you will get, and in case of a
Gmail account, would be your-chosen-login- name@gmail.com.
Step 3: How to choose a login name or username for your email address
Choosing a login name is part art and part common sense. And because it determines
what your email address will be, we suggest you spend a little time over it. Since, email
addresses need to be unique which means no two people in the world can have the same
address, there is no guarantee that your preferred login name would be available. The
following are advice and suggestions on how to choose a login or username.
Step 4: Choosing a password for your email
Securing your Gmail email account with a strong password is imperative. Think of the
Pass word as the key combination to your safe and you need to give the same amount of
importance. A combination of uppercase and lowercase letters with some digits thrown in
would be a strong enough password. on the right of the text fields in which you enter your
password a sort of meter would indicate the strength of the password. You need to enter the
password twice and you can leave the "Remember me on this computer" box unchecked.
Step 5: Protecting your Gmail account with a security question
You now need to either select a security question from the drop down list or enter one
and you need to provide the answer. This additional security helps in getting your email
account password if you forget it.

5. Explain about on-line chat & its Types.
Types of Online Chats:
The Classic Chat:
In a normal, not moderated chat, all speakers and participants (candidates) in the chat
room see all the entries of the other participants, in real-time. They all see the same thing.
As soon as a question / answer / comment is entered, it appears on the chat room, visible
by all, at the bottom of the screen.
Advantages:
 Straightforward, easy
 Corresponds to normal online chats that most people are used to (such as IM,
Skype chat, etc)
Disadvantages:

Hard to follow if there are lots of questions / comments

Errors / inappropriate messages are instantly visible by all without prior validation
The Moderated Chat
In a moderated chat, speakers and participants (candidates) do not see the same thing.
The questions / comments of the participants need to be validated by the speakers before
they become visible by the other participants in the chat room. The speakers therefore can
see what the participants see, plus the questions / comments that are pending. They can
then allow them, reply to them, or delete them.

6. What are the basic types of Search Engine?
When people mention the term "search engine", it is often used generically to describe both
crawler-based search engines and human-powered directories. In fact, these two types of
search engines gather their listings in radically different ways and therefore are inherently
different.
Crawler-based search engines, such as Google, AllTheWeb and AltaVista, create their listings
automatically by using a piece of software to “crawl” or “spider” the web and then index what it
finds to build the search base. Web page changes can be dynamically caught by crawler-based
search engines and will affect how these web pages get listed in the search results.
Crawler-based search engines are good when you have a specific search topic in mind and can
be very efficient in finding relevant information in this situation. However, when the search
topic is general, crawler-base search engines may return hundreds of thousands of irrelevant
responses to simple search requests, including lengthy documents in which your keyword
appears only once.
Human-powered directories, such as the Yahoo directory, Open Directory and LookSmart,
depend on human editors to create their listings. Typically, webmasters submit a short
description to the directory for their websites, or editors write one for the sites they review, and
these manually edited descriptions will form the search base. Therefore, changes made to
individual web pages will have no effect on how these pages get listed in the search results.
Human-powered directories are good when you are interested in a general topic of search. In
this situation, a directory can guide and help you narrow your search and get refined results.
Therefore, search results found in a human-powered directory are usually more relevant to the
search topic and more accurate. However, this is not an efficient way to find information when a
specific search topic is in mind.

able to work in teams. Individuals will move through several careers in the course of a
lifetime. The issues facing citizens will become more and more complex, and societal
problems will resist easy fixes or black and white categorization. The amount of
information available to everyone will grow at an accelerating pace; much of it will come
directly from a growing number of sources without filtering or verification.
The goal of the introduction is to make the activity desirable and fun for students. When
projects are related to students' interests, ideas, past experiences, or future goals, they are
inherently more interesting. The goal of the motivational component is to engage and excite
students at the beginning of each Web Quest. TIP: In a long term Web Quest, the introduction
can be stretched out over the course of the project. This helps to reinvigorate the students and
allows for the incorporation of new material (some of which is generated by students as part of
the process). The infusion from other media (prints, posters, models) and guest lecturers (other
faculty members, parents, business leaders, experts, etc.) adds real world components to online
investigations. This is very important because depending on technology alone to convey the
meaning of a lesson tends to create a sense of unreality. Adding "introductory" types of

6. What are the Applications of Wikis?
According to Leuf and Cunningham, a wiki is “a free expandable collection of interlinked
webpages, a hypertext system for storing and modifying information, a data base, where each
page is easily edited by any user." A Wiki can be thought of as a combination of a web site and a
Word document. At its simplest, it can be read just like any other web site, with no
access privileges necessary, but its real power lies in the fact that groups can collaboratively
work on the content of the site using nothing but a standard web browser.
The Wiki is gaining traction in education as an ideal tool for collaborative work but there are
more than just collaboration that makes a Wiki a promising web tool for teachers and students.
Let us go through some of these features to learn more about the potential of this tool in
education.
Applications:
 Most of the Wiki hosting platforms are free
 Wikis are easy to create and do not require any tech wizardary to run and
maintain them
 They have very student-friendly interfaces

 They can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection
 Anyone can edit a wiki
 Wikis are instantaneous so there is no need to wait for a publisher to create a new
edition or update information
 Geographical borders are deleted and students from all around the world can
collaborate and work on the same document
 The Wiki software keeps track of every edit made and it is a simple process to
revert back to a previous version of an article
 Wikis widen access to the power of web publishing to non-technical users
 Wikis are flexible and do not have a predetermined structure meaning they can be
used for a wide range of applications

7. Explain about Blogs& Wikis in details.
Blogs and wikis are quite different, with different users and different workflows. Blogs, or
weblogs, are the latest in hyped technologies. Like any new technology (although blogs have
been around for more than a few years), they have the potential to change the technology
landscape in ways that are not yet clear. Blogs are best thought of as a way to present
information to the world or to a select group. The traditional blog is written in the form of an
online diary and includes the writer’s thoughts on a subject, links to interesting information, and
often pictures.The writer may post a new item several times a day, or a few times a year.There
are blogs on every conceivable subject and in most human languages.Traditionally blogs have
been created by one author and represent one author’s views, although there are some group
blogs. Wikis are a different method of publishing and presenting online information. The most
famous wiki is the Wikipedia, an online collaborative encyclopedia that illustrates the common
wiki features, namely collaborative authoring with lightweight content management features
such as lists of changed pages, author tracking, and locking. Some wiki systems also have version
control and rollback. All wikis make it easy to add new pages and create links .A blog or weblog
is often used as a kind of web based journal. It is a personal posting with a very public face.
Think of it as something made for world consumption. Blogs lend themselves well to the
esthetic display of text, images and other audiovisual elements. They are best used when you
want a public space to display your own work or where your students can share experiences,
opinions, or creations that reflect the best of their learning. Then a blog is a viable option.
8. Give a brief account about Web-quest.
Introduction:
The introduction section provides background information and motivational scenarios
like giving students roles to play: "You are an underwater research scientist," or "You
are an astronaut planning a trip to the moon." It also provides an overview of the
learning goals to students.. The goal of the introduction is to make the activity desirable
and fun for students. When projects are related to students' interests, ideas, past
experiences, or future goals, they are inherently more interesting. The goal of the

REGULATION CBCS - 2012
motivational component is to engage and excite students at the beginning of each
WebQuest.
TIP: In a long term WebQuest, the introduction can be stretched out over the course of
the project. This helps to reinvigorate the students and allows for the incorporation of
new material (some of which is generated by students as part of the process). The
infusion from other media (prints, posters, models) and guest lecturers (other faculty
members, parents, business leaders, experts, etc.) adds real world components to
online investigations. This is very important because depending on technology alone to
convey the meaning of a lesson tends to create a sense of unreality. Adding
"introductory" types of information and material throughout the duration of the
WebQuest keeps students fully engaged. The task is a formal description of what
students will have accomplished by the end of the WebQuest.
In older Web Quests, you'll find the resources listed in a section of their own. More
recent Web Quests have the resources embedded within the Process section, to be
accessed at the appropriate time. It's important to remember that non Web resources
can also be used. Variety is the spice of life, and Web Quests are enhanced by materials
that supplement the online resources. These can include things like videos, audio
cassettes, books, posters, maps, models, manipulative, and sculptures. Visiting lecturers,
team teaching, field trips, and other motivational techniques can also be used.
9. Write a Note on Advantages and Disadvantages of the e-mail
Advantages of E-mail:
1. It's free!
Once you’re online, there is no further expense.
2. Easy to reference
Sent and received messages and attachments can be stored safely, logically and
reliably. It's a lot easier to organize emails than paper.
3. Easy to use
Once you’re set up, sending and receiving messages is simple. That goes for a host of
other email functions. Data storage and contacts can be accessed quickly and easily.
4. Easy to prioritize
Incoming messages have subject lines that mean you can delete without opening. How
much time does that save compared to ‘snail mail?’
5. Speed
Message to send? Done, under a second! Email is as fast a form of written
communication as any.
6. Global
Web based email means you can access your messages anywhere online. Going overseas?
Before you go, mail yourself a copy of your passport number, travel insurance details or
your accommodation details.
7. Good for the planet
RAAK/UENE64/PARTHIBAN/III YEAR/VI Sem/UENE64/TME/UNIT-1 QB/VER 1.0
Unit – 1 Question Bank Page 34 of 57
ACADEMIC YEAR: 2014 – 2015
REGULATION CBCS - 2012
Actually the advantages and disadvantages of email are clear here. Computers themselves
aren’t 'green', but email offsets some of the damage by reducing the environmental cost
of contact.
8. Info at your fingertips
Storing data online means less large, space taking file cabinets, folders and shelves. You
can access information far quicker if you learn how to use email this way.
9. Leverage
Send the same message to any number of people. Adaptations are simple, too. If you have
a product or service to sell, email is an effective medium to get your message out.
10. Send reminders to yourself
Do you use more than one account? Email yourself messages from work to home or vice
versa. Does the idea of two or more accounts seem complicated? It's not if you know how
to manage multiple accounts.
Dis-Advantages of E-mail:
1. Emotional responses
Some emails cause upset or anger. A reply in the heat of the moment can’t be easily
retracted, but it can cause lasting damage.
2. Information overload
Too many people send too much information. They cover their backs citing ‘need to
know’ as the justification. Learn how to use email effectively and you’ll reduce time
wasted on this.
3. Lacking the Personal Touch
Some things are best left untyped. Email will never beat a hand written card or letter
when it comes to relationships.
4. Misunderstandings
Emails from people who don’t take the time to read what they write before clicking
‘send’. Time is wasted, either to clarify or, worse, acting on a misinterpretation of the
message.
5. No Respite
Your email inbox is like a garden; it needs to be constantly maintained. Leave it and will
continue to grow. Ignore it at your peril!
6. Pressure to Reply
Once it’s in your inbox, you feel an ever increasing obligation to act on it. Procrastinating
doesn’t making it go away. Do it, dump it or delegate it.
7. Spam
Having to deal with spam and spoofs is one of the worst avoidable time wasters
online. Use some anti spam software.
8. Sucks up Your Time
Over checking messages are so common, but it is time wasted on a low value, passive
activity. Better to check once or twice a day.
9. Too Long
How long is too long? It’s hard to say exactly, but the longer it goes on, the harder it is to
take in. Email is suited to brevity - keep it short and sweet.
10. Viruses
A virus could seriously affect your computer. If you want to know how to use email
effectively, it's worth learning how to deal with these.

10. Explain about chatting and types of chatting in details.
On the Internet, chatting is talking to other people who are using the Internet at the same time
you are. Usually, this "talking" is the exchange of typed-in messages requiring one site as the
repository for the messages (or "chat site") and a group of users who take part from anywhere
on the Internet. In some cases, a private chat can be arranged between two parties who meet
initially in a group chat. Chats can be ongoing or scheduled for a particular time and duration.
Most chats are focused on a particular topic of interest and some involve guest experts or
famous people who "talk" to anyone joining the chat. (Transcripts of a chat can be archived for
later reference.)
Chats are conducted on online services (especially America Online), by bulletin board services,
and by Web sites. Several Web sites, notably Talk City, exist solely for the purpose of conducting
chats. Some chat sites such as Worlds Chat allow participants to assume the role or appearance
of an avatar in a simulated or virtual reality environment.
Talk City and many other chat sites use a protocol called Internet Relay Chat. A chat can also be
conducted using sound or sound and video, assuming you have the bandwidth access and the
appropriate programming.
The user's web browser is used as the client software. Java Application is often
downloaded into the web browser to enable this function. You will only be able
to chat with users who are connecting to the same server. There are chat
sections on all kinds of web sites such as stock investing, sports, news, etc. To try
web based chat, you can go to chat.yahoo.com. or chat.msn.com Internet Relay
Internet Relay Chat is defined by networks of servers which communicate to each
other. Users connecting to any of the servers should e able to chat with
everyone else on that entire "network" You must download a client application to
participate. Users have the ability to revert to a peer to peer communication
using MSG and DCC command (direct client communication) .

50. What are the types of projects?.
 Construction or Engineering Projects.
 Experimental/Research/Measurement Projects.
 Search and Find Projects.
51. How to create a project?
"Project plan" is one of the most misunderstood terms in project management. It is a set
of living documents that can be expected to change over the life of the project. Like a
road map, it provides the direction for the project.
52. Define Construction or Engineering Projects.
Students build something (a cell, volcano, racing car, musical instrument) and focus on what
they learned, demonstrate how it works, and explain how they would improve their product
that they built.
53. Define Experimental/Research/Measurement Projects.
Students design an experiment to study the effects of one or more variables on an object.
Students should model scientific procedures by presenting their results in a group report that
should include: The Problem studied, Purpose, Method, Data, Results and Conclusion.
54. Define Search and Find Projects.
Students select a topic (global warming, mission to planet Mars, the FLU) or a scientist, and use
primary and secondary resources to build a presentation board summarizing their findings.
Students can make use of a variety of resources, including the Internet.

ACADEMIC YEAR: 2014 – 2015
REGULATION CBCS - 2012
A project is any unique undertaking with a defined scope of work, and defined start and end
points. This contrasts to "operations", which are ongoing and repetitive.
56. What is project management ?
Project management is the application of skills, knowledge, and tools to achieve the
predetermined project objectives.
57. Who uses project management ?
Many formal project management techniques were developed in the 1960’s as part of the
defense programs. Today these techniques are used in every area of society, from government
agencies to non-profits, and from engineering companies to service industries.
58. What are the resource of projects?
Resources are people, equipment and money. They may be internal or external
and include suppliers, contractors, partners, statutory bodies, governments,
banks, loans, grants, expert opinion (Lawyers, Accountants, Consultants), etc.
59. Define project learning.
Project learning, also known as project-based learning, is a dynamic approach to teaching
in which students explore real-world problems and challenges, simultaneously developing
cross-curriculum skills while working in small collaborative groups.
60. What is a successful project?
Since every project has an element of newness about it there will be risks and difficulties to be
surmounted. These require decisions and possibly trade-offs between competing project
objectives such as cost and time, but in the last analysis, the successful project is one which
satisfies the client and the stakeholders, and is seen to do so in its most important dimension,
quality. Quality is defined as conformance to requirements.
PART-B Answers
1. What is a project life span (cycle)?
If a project is well organized, it will progress logically through several phases. There
are four standard phases to a typical project. The first two "concept" and
"development"
involve planning, that is to say, identifying the concept and then
developing this concept and the plan to accomplish it as we have discussed. This
usually leads to a formal submission of the plan (project brief) at which a go or nogo decision is given on the basis of the plan. If approved, this leads to the second two

phases which are the accomplishment phases of implementing and finishing. As the
names imply, this means converting ideas on paper to reality and getting the job
finished and turned over to the customer.Of course,different people in different project
environments use different names but the principles are the same. Also, projects in
different fields may require the four standard phases to be broken down further into
stages such as separate feasibility studies; detailed design and working drawings;
procurement; construction; training, commissioning and transfer.
2. What is a task manager?
Terminology in the project business is very confusing. Different people and different
organizations use different names to mean different things in different circumstances and
there is no well established set of standard definitions. Generally there is a hierarchical set
of words which run from top to bottom as follows: Program, Project, Function, Process,
Activity and Task. Interestingly, although the leader of any one of these may have different
names, the management concepts involved are virtually identical. Moreover, the role of the
leader of a particular task may be just as important to the overall success of a project as
another apparently higher up the chain.
PART – C Answers
1. List out Some basics steps to create project.
Components of the project plan include:

Baselines: These are sometimes called performance measures because the
performance of the entire project is measured against them. They are the project's three
approved starting points for scope, schedule and cost. These are used to determine
whether or not the project is on track during execution

Baseline management plans: These include documentation about how variances
will be handled throughout the project

Other work products from the planning process, which include plans for risk
management, quality, procurement, staffing and communications
Step 2: Define roles and responsibilities
Identifying stakeholders - those who have a vested interest in either the project or its
outcome - is challenging and especially difficult on large, risky, high-impact projects.
There are likely to be conflicting agendas and requirements among stakeholders, as well
as different slants on who needs to be included.
For example, the stakeholder list of the city council where a new office building is being
constructed could differ from that of an engineering consulting firm. It would certainly
include the developer who wants to build the complex, the engineering firm that will
build it, citizens who would prefer a park, consultants to study the environmental impact,
the city council itself, etc.

REGULATION CBCS - 2012
The engineering firm may have a more limited view. It is important for the project
manager to get clarity and agreement on what work needs to be done by whom, as well as
which decisions each stakeholder will make.
Step 3: Develop a scope statement
The project scope statement is arguably the most important document in the project plan.
It is used to get common agreement among the stakeholders about the project definition.
It is the basis for getting the buy-in and agreement from the sponsor and other
stakeholders and decreases the chances of miscommunication.
This document will most likely grow and change with the life of the project. The scope
statement should include:

Business need and business problem
 Project objectives, stating what will occur within the project to solve the business problem
 Benefits of completing the project, as well as the project justification
 Project scope, stated as which deliverables will be included or excluded from the project
 Key milestones, the approach and other components as dictated by the size and nature of the
project
It can be treated like a contract between the project manager and sponsor - one that can
only be changed with sponsor approval.
Step 4: Develop the project baselines
Scope baseline. Once the deliverables are confirmed in the scope statement, they need to be
developed into a work breakdown structure of all the deliverables in the project.
The scope baseline includes all the deliverables produced on the project, and therefore identifies all
the work to be done. These deliverables should be inclusive.
Building an office building, for example, would include a variety of deliverables related to the
building itself, as well as such things as impact studies, recommendations, landscaping plans, etc.
Schedule and cost baselines
Identify activities and tasks needed to produce each of the deliverables identified in the scope
baseline. How detailed the task list needs to be depends on many factors, including the experience
of the team, project risk and uncertainties, ambiguity of specifications, amount of buy-in expected,
etc
Identify resources for each task, if known
Estimate how many hours it will take to complete each task
RAAK/UENE64/PARTHIBAN/III YEAR/VI Sem/UENE64/TME/UNIT-1 QB/VER 1.0
Unit – 1 Question Bank Page 41 of 57
ACADEMIC YEAR: 2014 – 2015
REGULATION CBCS - 2012
Estimate cost of each task, using an average hourly rate for each resource
Consider resource constraints, or how much time each resource can realistically devote to this one
project
Determine which tasks are dependent on other tasks, and develop critical path
Develop schedule, which puts all tasks and estimates in a calendar. It shows by chosen time period
(week, month, quarter or year) which resource is doing which tasks, how much time each task is
expected to take, and when each task is scheduled to begin and end
Develop the cost baseline, which is a time-phased budget, or cost-by-time period
This process is not a one-time effort. Throughout the project, you will most likely be adding to and
repeating some or all of these steps.
Step 5: Create baseline management plans
Once the scope, schedule and cost baselines have been established, create the steps the team will
take to manage variances to these plans.
All these management plans usually include a review and approval process for modifying the
baselines. Different approval levels are usually needed for different types of changes.
Not all new requests will result in changes to the scope, schedule or budget, but a process is needed
to study all new requests to determine their impact on the project.
Step 6: Communicate
One important aspect of the project plan is the communications plan. This document states
such things as: Who wants which reports, how often, in what format and using what media
How issues will be escalated and when Where project information will be stored and who
can access it What new risks have surfaced and what the risk response will include
What metrics will be used to ensure a quality product is built What reserves have been used
for which uncertaintiesOnce the project plan is complete, it is important that its contents be
delivered to key stakeholders. This communication should include such things as: Review
and approval of the project planProcess for changing the contents of the plan
Next steps - executing and controlling the project plan and key stakeholder
roles/responsibilities
2. Explain project coordinator team management in detail?
Project coordinator and team Management:
It is the responsibility of the project manager to ensure that the project is managed and
executed in the proper manner. In fact, the project manager is a team leader and the ‘boss’
of the team.
Managing the team and managing the project has a lot of aspects and responsibilities
attached to it, as it involved managing not only the team (directly or indirectly) but also the

REGULATION CBCS - 2012
project’s assignments. The project manager should ensure that every team member and
their abilities are used to the optimum, so that the assignments are completed in an
optimum way.
A team is made up of various individuals, who come from different walks of life. There are
bound to be some differences between the team. As a project manager, it is the
responsibility of the manager to ensure the smooth interactions between the project’s team
members and that the differences do not have any effect on the quality of the project itself.
Leadership:
The project manager is also the leader of the project. S/he should lead by example, and
create situations where the team staff look up to the project manager and try to emulate
their positive traits. This will certainly have positive effects on the team as well as the
project and its assignments. Therefore, leading by example is one of the most important
roles of project managers.
Single Point of Contact:
Any project requires communication and information flow that has to be infused into the
team in a systematic and scheduled manner. Information related to assignments is critical to
the project success. If the information is not given to the right person, at the right time and
in the right manner, the entire assignment stands at risk. Therefore, it is important that the
Project Manager should work as a single point of contact for any assignment.Also, in an
assignment with different stake holders, it is a possibility that each of them have a different
idea and thoughts about the project. This may lead to a scenario where the team is getting
information from all the stake holders, and the lower rung team members are quite
confused about what to follow. Therefore, the project manager should act as the single
point of contact, and any information provided through the project manager should be
considered as final and binding. Being the single point of contact should be one of the most
important responsibilities of a project manager.

71. What are the features of On-line?(April/May 2014)
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard
Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks
that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of
local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic and optical networking
technologies. The Internet carries a vast range of information resources and services, such as
the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to
support electronic mail.
72. What are the uses of teaching Development resources? (April/May 2014).
Teacher professional development is absolutely essential if technology provided to schools is to
be used effectively. Simply put, spending scarce resources on informational technology hardware
and software without financing teacher professional development as well is wasteful.

Online teaching and learning presents a number of advantages and disadvantages that go
beyond the individual strengths and weaknesses of the instructors. Students face challenges with
instructor differences, but the inherent characteristics of the online environment present
advantages afforded by the flexibility, location, and access to the instructor that make it a far
superior choice to traditional classroom instruction. However, some of the drawbacks must be

Online education is also known as distance learning and consists of taking classes via the
internet. More and more students take online classes because of the flexibility and
convenience it provides. You can attend class sessions from the comfort of your home
and complete assignments at almost any time of the day. Two approaches to online
learning have emerged: synchronous and asynchronous learning. Synchronous learning
construction and collaboration in “real time” via the Internet. It typically involves tools,
such as:• live chat• audio and video conferencing• data and application sharing• shared
whiteboard• virtual "hand raising"• joint viewing of multimedia presentations and online
slide shows Asynchronous learning methods use the time-delayed capabilities of the
Internet. It typically involves tools, such as:• e-mail • threaded discussion• newsgroups
and bulletin boards • file attachments Asynchronous courses are still instructor-facilitated
but are not conducted in real time, which means that students and teacher can engage in
course-related activities at their convenience rather than during specifically coordinated
class sessions. In A synchronous course, learning does not need to be scheduled in the
same way as synchronous learning, allowing students and instructors the benefits of
anytime, any where learning.
6. Discuss about professional development in detail.
Teacher observation should be part of a pool of professional development opportunities,
Sparks told Education World. One way in which peer observation can be very effective is
when teachers acquire new skills or ideas at conferences and then model those new
approaches for their colleagues. That is best done through observation, said Sparks, who
advocates learning in the school, rather than through "pull-out" training, such as
workshops. Professional development should be job-embedded, he emphasized. That is
one of the greatest benefits of teachers observing other teachers. - See more at:

in
"The professional development that a teacher values depends on what he or she needs at
any given time," said Meaney. "Generally," she added, "newcomers report greater value
peer observation than do more experienced teachers.""I think that I learn more from
observation than from any other kind of professional development," added Alberino,
noting that reading about a particular instructional theory does not mean it can be easily
applied. Observation brings actual practice to the forefront.Dr. William Roberson, codirector of the Center of Effective Teaching and Learning concurred: "Easily, peer
observation is more valuable than other forms of professional development, if the proper
context is created. If done well, it is carried out in a real, practical, immediately relevant
situation. Compare that to attending workshops or conferences in which participants
remain at a certain level of abstraction from their own classrooms." There is no one right
approach to teacher observation but, according to Dr. Sally Blake, professor of teacher
education at the University of Texas at El Paso, teacher observation is most successful

7. What are the uses of on-line class?
Benefits and Advantages of Online Learning
Online schooling is a popular alternative to attending a brick-and-mortar college or
university. Though online students don't get the face-to-face experiences of a typical oncampus student, there are many benefits and advantages to online learning, also known
as
distance learning or e-learning. While not every program or school imaginable has an
online option, a large number of them do, and many programs are nationally or
regionally
accredited. Students can learn through online lectures, projects and discussions.
Online degree programs are available at every level, from certificates to doctorates.
Convenient Schedule
Many adults who want to return to school might be working full time, or they might also
have a family to care for. For those people, taking the time to drive out to class in the
evenings while working during the day is not feasible. Online education allows for the
attendance of class wherever the student has access to the Internet. Online learning is, in
many cases, available 24 hours a day and seven days a week, so the student can
participate in class whenever it's most convenient.
Financial Savings
Students also save money, since some online programs cost less per credit hour, and
students have no transportation expenses. Individuals who have children also may study
at home and save on the cost of child care. Students may also be able to reduce the total
course time if they can devote more time in single sittings.
8. What are the development resources for teaching?

The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the
disciplines she or he teaches and can create learning experiences that make these aspects
of subject matter meaningful for pupils. Teachers know how children grow.

1. Give a brief account on Professional development.
The final three stages are operational stages. The preoperational stage occurs when a child
begins and continues to develop language and thinking skills, and typically lasts from age
two until age seven. The child also becomes focused on himself and how the world relates
to him. The concrete operational stage usually occurs between the ages of seven and
twelve. During the concrete operational stage, a child begins to see the world in relation to
others, not just himself. Children also begin to develop logical thinking; they begin to
understand that the way objects are set up has nothing to do with the amount of an
object. For example, children will begin to understand that in the following pictures, even
though they are set up differently, different colors, etc., there are still only four boxes in each

REGULATION CBCS - 2012
picture. The final stage of Piaget's theory is known as the formal operational
stage. The formal
operational stage begins around age twelve and lasts throughout our adult lives. During this stage we
develop both logical and abstract thinking. Our thought
process is ever changing. For example, if
you ask a four year old girl why she eat apples, she may say, "they're yummy." Asking the same
question to a twelve year old girl
may get you a response such as, "they're good for me" Asking a
college student in a
nutrition class why a person eats apples can lead to an entire discussion on what
foods you
should eat and what they do for you. During each stage we gain life experiences and
increase our knowledge through them. Piaget also believed that a child who hadn't
completed certain developmental stages could not learn things from higher developmental
stages. For example, a child who has not learned language could not think logically.
Besides his four stages of cognitive development, Piaget influenced the study of cognitivism in
many other ways. He believed that the human mind is embedded with specific ways of doing
things. For example, a baby knows how to suck his thumb without
being taught, we
breathe unconsciously, and our hearts beat without being ordered
to. There are three major
concepts when dealing with changing ingrained schemes.
Assimilation occurs when a person
perceives a new object in terms of existing knowledge. Accommodation occurs when you modify
existing cognitive structures based on new
information. Equilibration includes both assimilation
and accommodation and is
considered the master developmental process. For example, a child
who has only been
around sports cars will believe that a car is small, has two doors, and is
fast. When he sees
a minivan, he must change his belief about what a car is. Once he accepts that a
minivan
is a type of car and a sports car is another type of car, equilibration is achieved.
(Blessing,
Cherry, Classroom, Computers, Cognitivism, Feldman, Free, Sauers)
Teachers should carefully assess the current stage of a child's cognitive development and
only assign tasks for which the child is prepared. The child can then be given tasks that are
tailored to their developmental level and are motivating.
Teachers must provide children with learning opportunities that enable them to advance
through each developmental stage. This is achieved by creating disequilibrium. Teachers
should maintain a proper balance between actively guiding the child and allowing
opportunities for them to explore things on their own to learn through discovery.
Teachers should be concerned with the process of learning rather than the end product.
For example, the teacher should observe the way a child manipulates play dough instead of
concentrating on a finished shape.
Children should be encouraged to learn from each other. Hearing others' views can
help breakdown egocentrism. It is important for teachers to provide multiple opportunities
for small group activities. Piaget believed that teachers should act as guides to children's
learning processes and that the curriculum should be adapted to individual needs and
developmental levels.

perceives a new object in terms of existing knowledge. Accommodation occurs when you modify
existing cognitive structures based on new
information. Equilibration includes both assimilation
and accommodation and is
considered the master developmental process. For example, a child
who has only been
around sports cars will believe that a car is small, has two doors, and is
fast. When he sees
a minivan, he must change his belief about what a car is. Once he accepts that a
minivan
is a type of car and a sports car is another type of car, equilibration is achieved.

Teachers should carefully assess the current stage of a child's cognitive development and
only assign tasks for which the child is prepared. The child can then be given tasks that are
tailored to their developmental level and are motivating.
Teachers must provide children with learning opportunities that enable them to advance
through each developmental stage. This is achieved by creating disequilibrium. Teachers
should maintain a proper balance between actively guiding the child and allowing
opportunities for them to explore things on their own to learn through discovery.
Teachers should be concerned with the process of learning rather than the end product.
For example, the teacher should observe the way a child manipulates play dough instead of
concentrating on a finished shape.
Children should be encouraged to learn from each other. Hearing others' views can
help breakdown egocentrism. It is important for teachers to provide multiple opportunities
for small group activities. Piaget believed that teachers should act as guides to children's
learning processes and that the curriculum should be adapted to individual needs and
developmental levels.
