5 Ways to raise performance bar for yourself


By : Brinda Dasgupta | , ET Bureau| Mar 22, 2018, 11.47 PM IST

It is important to keep learning if you want to keep progressing to the next levels of professional capability. Employees who stop investing in learning and enhancing their skills, or become complacent about their contribution to the workplace, run the risk of stagnating in their careers. ET speaks to experts to find out how employees can raise the performance bar for themselves.

1. Stay Relevant

 
It is crucial to learn about new trends in your area of work, as the world is constantly evolving. “Invest time in reading the right books and journals, and attending seminars to learn best practices from the industry. This can have a tremendous impact on taking your performance to the next level,” said Armaan Seth, head of human resources - Indian subcontinent

2. Work On Listening Skills

 
Listening is vital to being able to communicate effectively. “Gauge your listening skills, and work on them to get first-hand insights into your performance. This will lead to increased productivity with fewer mistakes, innovative growth and higher client satisfaction rates,” said Sriram Vaidhyanathan, chief human resource officer at BankBazaar.

3. Learn Everywhere

If you don’t constantly soak up knowledge, you will slide down your career, said SV Nathan, chief talent officer at Deloitte India. “Spend time reading, and also learn from people around you. Attending conferences will also help you get some context.

4. Reduce Distractions

Modern workplaces are full of distractions, from smartphones to office gossip and politics. These can be detrimental when you are focusing on improving your performance. “Make your work the sole point of focus, to keep distance from such distractions,” said Swapnil Kamat, CEO of Work Better Training.
For instance, you can set aside fixed times for checking your phone and email. Nathan said that it is important to have a sense of priority and to make a list of things to help you focus on getting closer to your goals.

5. Seek Organisational Support

There are varied tools that you can request from your company to help improve your performance at work. “You can find out about enrolling in some learning and development initiatives, or proactively seeking out projects that will help you work at a higher level than you currently do. This will give you the opportunity to prove your mettle,” said Kamat.

Besides, Vaidhyanathan said, you can ask for vendor-sponsored webinars, low-cost college courses or premium-priced industry certification.

How digitisation is disrupting libraries

By : Vikas Gupta, Mar 22 2018, 0:11 IST

To stay relevant, public libraries should reinvent themselves by digitising their collection.




How digitisation is disrupting libraries

There is gloom in almost all the industries facing the blunt force of disruptive technologies. Disruption is the reality of our time, and we should accept it rather than fighting the truth. Hence, we need to prepare for it and better still, evolve with it. In the library and information science landscape these days, the community is abuzz with terms like digital libraries, electronic libraries, and hybrid libraries. At a time when information is just a click away, the library reference desk has been rendered obsolete. Print books look like collectibles, almost like antiquities from a distant past.

As a result, the way we access and consume information is morphing dramatically, even when it comes to learning and skilling. This might be the defining problem of our generation. Is content too democratised in terms of who can create it? In a world full of content creators, do we not need the gatekeepers of knowledge, who give some semblance of quality control through peer-review and consensus?

As digital libraries combine technology and information resources to allow remote access, they enable teachers and students to take advantage of a wider range of reading material and communicate information easily outside the formal learning environment. Furthermore, as long as students have an Internet connection, digital libraries are accessible anywhere and at any moment. Apart from these, digitised libraries will also allow integration of different types of learning to take place.

Advantages and disadvantages

To stay relevant and battle this challenge, public library systems across the world should reinvent themselves by digitising their collection, and create a virtual library that can be accessible from any computer. In fact, many libraries have already started this activity. Similar to every new technological disruption, there seem to be some great advantages of the system. Some of the positive outcomes of digitising libraries include:

Storing content physically has always been a challenge. With ever-shrinking space for archiving, digitisation offers a handy solution.

Information retrieval becomes easier for the readers as they can search for a particular information through the entire collection immediately.

Content, old and new, can quickly reach the masses. Therefore, many public libraries are rushing to push as much content as they can onto online so that readers can read genealogical records, historical maps or rare volumes without leaving their home.

However, there are some adverse effects as well. They include the problem that most people are accessing these materials online and do not visit the library physically. Perhaps, the biggest challenge that libraries face, in terms of digitisation of content, is that of piracy. This is one of the key reasons for the limited inflow of popular new titles. Publishers and authors are concerned that books, once online, can easily be copied and shared without authorisation or permission. Hence, libraries have been building their digital collections with the electronic versions of century-old classics not covered under copyright or the so-called back-catalogue books that are unlikely to appeal those who pirate books. They are stocking up on an array of 'How-to' and other non-fiction titles. But when it comes to bestsellers, the digital cupboard is often predictably bare.

Apart from piracy, another challenge of digitising libraries is that of maintaining library-users' right to privacy. The information sought, received and resources consulted, borrowed, acquired or transmitted must remain confidential. The International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) views privacy as integral to Freedom of Expression, as stated in its Internet Manifesto. This includes:

Librarians must respect the privacy of internet users in the library and strive to ensure the confidentiality of the resources and services that they use.

Librarians should not keep a record of internet use more than what is required by the law, retain such records no longer than it is required, and protect the integrity of records at all times.

The role of libraries and librarians is evolving. In this connected world, enabling readers to find new content is no longer their core competency. Neither it is clerical nor administrative in nature; rather the role of a librarian is that of a person who establishes relevance. Librarians tell us what's relevant, what's peer-reviewed, and what source of knowledge we can trust.

The future of libraries, as an institute, is in our hands - authors, publishers, and readers. Disruptive technologies will continue to emerge and change our behaviour. However, the role of a library is much bigger. Libraries will continue to absorb new technologies in the way they function. Certainly, there are challenges ahead, but I am hopeful they can be met and overcome.

World Storytelling Day, change the way you look at books and make every time, story time, with these apps

THE one thing that sets Mumbai apart from the rest of the country is its speed.

And caught in that speed, it’s very difficult to find some time for a good old storybook.

But on World Storytelling Day, no excuse is going to be enough for all the stories that you don’t read or listen to, at least not for the day. So, if getting hold of a paperback is difficult or reading from the Kindle not all that favourable while on your commute, here’s a suitable and very affordable alternative — audio books. All it takes is for you to download the apps, and hit go. Headphones recommended, please.

TEACHERS WANT MU EXAMS TO BE RESCHEDULED

MUMBAI: The Bombay University and College Teachers’ Union (BUCTU) has asked the University of Mumbai (MU) to reschedule the semester examinations. MU had recently announced the date of commencement of all courses while specific time-tables of all courses are still awaited.

“The university has announced the dates for theory papers without giving enough time to colleges to conduct practical examinations first. This means they will have to be conducted in May, which is unfair to teachers as well as students,” said Madhu Paranjape, general secretary of BUCTU. While Allowed-To-Keep-Term (ATKT) exams are afoot, the first of the exams for fresh candidates will begin on April 3.

Many teachers are also angry about once again giving up on their vacation this year for assessment of papers. “When the first and second-year exams were still conducted, we could finish their assessment before starting work on third-year papers. However, we’ve worked through Diwali and Christmas vacations last year and now, the May holidays too will be usurped by the university,” said a teacher on condition of anonymity.

Officials from the examinations department of MU said they are ready to look into the teachers’ complaints, however, they haven’t received any.

‘Might bring in single regulator for higher education in the country’

NEW DELHI: After giving greater autonomy to higher educational institutions, the government is working on a proposal to introduce a single higher education regulator in the country to replace other bodies such as the University Grants Commission (UGC), the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), and the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). 

HRD minister Prakash Javadekar on Wednesday confirmed that discussions are on in this regard. In an interview to HT, he said, “The UGC is an odd combination of regulator and funding agency. Now we are going to decide what to do about these two functions.” 

Currently, UGC is responsible for universities while AICTE is the apex body for technical education and NCTE is responsible for teacher education. Javadekar said, “We have three regulators in higher education — UGC, AICTE, and NCTE. So we are thinking on those lines. But till something is concretised, I can’t give more details.” 

A senior HRD official, on condition of anonymity, said regulators currently have overlapping jurisdiction. “Some professional bodies like the Council of Architecture are saying that they have to regulate the education. As a result, there is a multitude of regulations, which takes away the flexibility, opportunity for innovation, and ability to respond to requirements of the market,” said the official cited above. 

Another ministry official, on condition of anonymity, said the government is working on creating a single body — Higher Education Evaluation and Regulation Authority (HEERA). “Regulation in higher education should protect interests of students and promote opportunities for expansion. The legislation for setting up HEERA as an overarching regulatory authority would be placed on fast track,” said the official.

Teachers' union asks Mumbai varsity to reschedule exams

Yogita Rao | TNN | Mar 22, 2018, 22:11 IST

MUMBAI: Representatives from the Bombay University and College Teachers’ Union (BUCTU) have written to Mumbai University asking them to reschedule the upcoming exams. 

The teachers said that the TYBSc exams are scheduled to commence from April 12, but the time-table for practical exams has not been declared yet. “Since seat numbers were not generated for the final semester exams, the practical exams cannot be conducted before April 12. This will push the practical examinations to May,” stated the letter addressed to the in-charge vice-chancellor Devanand Shinde.

Furthermore, the second year BCom exams are slated to clash with the second level of chartered accountancy (CA) exams on two days. The teachers also pointed out that the assessment period of the April exams will clash with teachers’ vacation period, thereby making it difficult for the university to announce the results in the stipulated 45 days.

Give colleges, universities freedom to utilise autonomy: Mumbai educationists

Academicians also batted for greater autonomy to the institutes

Musab Qazi | Hindustan Times| Mumbai Updated: Mar 22, 2018 00:09 IST

The UGC must interact with all the stakeholders using various platforms, suggested experts.

Although academicians welcomed conferring of ‘graded’ autonomy on 60 higher education institutes across the country, including seven from Mumbai, they want University Grants Commission (UGC) to give more freedom to universities and colleges.

“Any autonomy to the apparatus of a university or higher education system is good, provided its leadership can make use of it,” said SS Mantha, former chairperson, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).

Most of the institutes to receive autonomy from the UGC are universities and the rest are colleges. Jai Hind College at Churchgate, Mithibai College in Vile Parle, Institute of Chemical Technology, Matunga, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Narsee Monjee Institute of Studies, Homi Bhabha National Institute and Dr DY Patil Vidyapeeth are the seven institutes from the city to that have been granted autonomy.

Rajan Welukar, former vice-chancellor for the University of Mumbai (MU), termed the decision a ‘half-hearted’ attempt at providing freedom to the colleges.

“As many as 95% of provisions in the new norms are already enjoyed by the universities and deemed-to-be universities. The universities start a new course at their will,” he said.

Academicians also batted for greater autonomy to the institutes. “I believe that autonomy should be defined in absolute terms and encompass all its aspects — including academic, financial, managerial and administrative autonomy. In effect, the UGC confers a limited academic autonomy to the institutes,” said Mantha.

Welukar suggested the regulator should revisit the new norms of autonomy. “The UGC must interact with all the stakeholders using various platforms,” he added.

Colleges Speak

Commenting on the recently granted autonomy, Jai Hind principal Ashok Wadia said, “We applied under the new autonomy guidelines of the UGC, which gave us an advantage. Since our last NAAC grade was more than 3.51, we were granted autonomy directly without any inspection.,” The institute plans to implement its 10-year autonomy from the upcoming academic year. “While we have already conducted a series of workshops to prepare staff and students for this, we will organise more training programmes to prepare everyone to the changes that comes with autonomy,” he added.

Shri Vile Parle Kelavani Mandal’s (SVKM) Mithibai College has been waiting for autonomy for almost two years now. “Our teachers have already submitted an updated curriculum, which will be implemented from the upcoming academic year. Thanks to the new autonomy guidelines, the process was hastened,” said Rajpal Hande, Mithibai College principal. The institute was awarded the autonomous status by the UGC without an on-site inspection.

2 wks to university exam, but all previous results still not in

Yogita Rao | TNN | Updated: Mar 22, 2018, 05:55 IST

Representative image

MUMBAI: More than three months after their exams, BCom (Accounting and Finance) and LLB students are still awaiting their results. Several papers from these courses are pending for assessment. College principals are now worried that the pending results could affect the exams that are to start in less than a fortnight.
Just 338 of the 402 exams conducted by the university have been announced till date; most of the pending results are for law and post-graduation courses.

On Wednesday, the university announced Semester-V BMM results after more than three months of the exam. “Assessment of BMM papers was completed a while ago. We don’t know what took the university so long to declare the results. It is now reaching out to colleges, asking them to appoint teachers for assessment of BAF papers. These exams were held in November. Although there are no major glitches in the online system at present, scheduling of multiple exams and the university’s failure to take serious action against teachers who do not participate in assessment work seems to be the problem now,” said a principal.

“Despite all the government machinery working on the examination process at the university, the administration has failed to deliver results on time. The current fiasco will definitely impact the final results too, and subsequently the admissions. The university has not even released the timetable for all exams till now. The administration has not planned the dates of commencement of exams well,” said a teacher.

The teachers’ union is likely to raise the issue in the senate meeting scheduled for March 30 and 31. The senate meeting with all elected representatives will be held after three years.

A principal said the university should have scheduled the exams for first- and second-year students before starting with final-year papers. “The repeaters’ exams for arts, science, commerce and law could have been scheduled later. With the results not being announced on time, the university may have to postpone ATKT exams. Some of the law ATKT exams are scheduled for the first week of April. With assessment still pending, it may be difficult for the university to conduct exams as per schedule,” she said.

A university official said they are confident of not delaying the final results this time. “We have already eliminated glitches in the online assessment process. Teachers are not available for assessment of papers in law and some of the self-financed courses. We are requesting colleges to allot teachers to complete the pending assessment work. The final results will not be as delayed as was the case last year,” said the official.

Some degree college students reach centres late, miss exams

TNN | Updated: Mar 21, 2018, 03:50 IST

MUMBAI:

Several degree college students who were to appear for exams at centres along the Central line could not make it on time due to the rail roko and aggregator cab drivers’s strike.
At Ramnarian Ruia College, all the final exams were postponed as 80% of students could not make it in time, said principal Suhas Pednekar. Ruia College has attained autonomous status and as the exams are being conducted at college-level, they are easy to reschedule.

A first-year BMM student from the college said that she took a Harbour line train after Kurla, got off at Wadala and somehow managed to reach the college. “But more than half of the class was missing. The college decided to postpone Tuesday’s exam, but the remaining exams from Wednesday will be conducted as per the schedule,” said the student.

At least two Mumbai University exam centres saw some students reaching late for the morning slot. However, representatives from students’ organisations claimed that more students were affected.

As the university’s allowed-to-keep-term exams for repeaters commenced on Tuesday for first- and second-year students, MU issued a circular in the morning directing colleges to allow students who were delayed by an hour to take the exams.

Tushar Desai, principal of DG Ruparel College, said that the college allowed four to five students who were delayed by an hour. “However, about the same number of students came to us after the exam got over. We did not have the authority to allow such students. We have informed the university about these students,” said Desai.

An MU official said they have got confirmed complaints only from Ruparel and Siddharth College in Fort. “As this was a repeaters’ exam, MU does not collect the attendance. Colleges will know about the full attendance by Wednesday. MU will take a decision about holding exams for students who could not make it,” said the official.

Student panic as Mumbai University stalls declaring TYBA semester five results

Mar 20, 2018, 09:20 IST | Pallavi Smart

A student from Jai Hind College said, "The TYBA semester V result is delayed. But now panic has set in as everybody else has got their results. Why are our subject combination results pending?

The Mumbai university has declared Third Year Bachelor of Arts (TYBA) results, but students who have taken economics as a combination with their major subject, are still waiting anxiously for theirs. They have not got results for their Semester V examination which was held in November. Their semester VI examination which is their final exam for the course, will soon be held.

A student from Jai Hind College said, "The TYBA semester V result is delayed. But now panic has set in as everybody else has got their results. Why are our subject combination results pending?"

"I am appearing for the next exam in less than a month. Shouldn't I have my previous examination result by now to help me understand which subjects I need to focus on more for a good grade?" said an upset student from DG Ruparel College.

A teacher from a South Mumbai college said, "The university is not clearly stating anything about it. As teachers we also do not know what is holding back the results, because assessment was over a month ago. It appears there is again some technical problem."

According to a senior official from the Mumbai University, "The result of this specific combination is pending as assessment is not complete for one of the papers." However, Dr. Arjun Ghatule, Director of Examinations and Evaluation Board, said, "Assessment is complete and we are processing the results."

BUCTU sweeps Mumbai University Senate polls

 Hepzi Anthony | Mumbai, March 20, 2018

New Senate will meet on March 30 and 31

 

The Bombay University and College Teachers Union (BUCTU) has won nine of the 10 Senate seats for teachers in the elections held on March 16. The new Senate will meet on March 30 and 31.
In the results declared late on Sunday night, the BUCTU were declared winners in three of the eight seats in the academic council. A total of 3,019 members of the 3,691 registered teachers voted in the election in the university.

First polls in 7 years

About 30 candidates took part in the Senate elections, which were being conducted in Mumbai University after a gap of seven years. The university has been functioning without a Senate for the past two years. This was the first time that the elections were being held under the Maharashtra Public University Act, 2016.
Professor Madhu Paranjpe, general secretary, BUCTU, said, “As per the new Act, the number of teachers’ seats has been reduced from 20 to 10. The new system also has more nominated members than elected members in the Senate. This is a big victory for teachers as they have now managed to maintain their voice in the Mumbai University. The varsity had been functioning in an arbitrary and absolute manner in the absence of a Senate.”

New provisions

As per the new Maharashtra Public University Act, the Senate will have 75 members, including 41 elected and 34 nominated. Nine principals and six college management representatives have already won unopposed following an understanding between different panels. The election for the 10 seats in the graduates’ constituency will be declared on March 27.
Vaibhav Narvade, newly elected Senate member in the teachers’ open category, said, “For the past two years, there was no control in the Mumbai University and officials did whatever they pleased to do. Now all stakeholders of the university from teachers and principals to students and graduates will be heard.”

Summer semester exams from April 3, first test for Mumbai Univ after result debacle

Come April, the university will conduct over 465 exams across all streams — Humanities, Commerce, Science and Technology and other interdisciplinary studies. A total of 64 exams will be conducted by colleges in parallel.

Written by Priyanka Sahoo | Mumbai | Published: March 12, 2018 5:22 am

While some measures were implemented in November, their efficacy has not been proven. For the winter semester exams, so far, 267 out of 402 results have been declared — of these 199 were declared within 45 days of the exam.

THE SUMMER semester exams of the University of Mumbai will kick off on April 3 alongside examinations to be held by colleges. Following last year’s debacle in the results that affected the future of lakhs of students and led to the ouster of vice-chancellor Sanjay Deshmukh, the university is under tremendous pressure to release the results on time this year.

Come April, the university will conduct over 465 exams across all streams — Humanities, Commerce, Science and Technology and other interdisciplinary studies. A total of 64 exams will be conducted by colleges in parallel.

“There is pressure, but we are confident that changes made in the assessment process have weeded out all the glitches we experienced last year,” said Vinod Malale, official spokesperson of the Board of Examinations and Evaluation. One of the major problems last year was that evaluators were not tagged properly to the right answersheets, leading to confusion as well as delay. However, since the winter semester, the board of examination has created a masterlist of teachers with their respective subjects.

“In a bid to further accelerate the assessment process, we have done away with the ‘basket system’ wherein an evaluator could not move on to a new answersheet unless all those assigned to him/ her were evaluated, including the ones that could not be loaded,” said Malale, who claimed that scanning of answersheets were no more a problem.

While some measures were implemented in November, their efficacy has not been proven. For the winter semester exams, so far, 267 out of 402 results have been declared — of these 199 were declared within 45 days of the exam.

Mumbai University result fiasco: Agency which was responsible for recent result delay, gets reappointed

— By Ronald Rodrigues | Mar 14, 2018 07:13 am

Mumbai: Students and faculty fear another result delay as the online assessment of summer semester examinations of Mumbai University (MU) will be managed by the previous agency MeritTrac.

This move is a contradiction because the state education ministry was supposed to hire a new agency as MeritTrac was responsible for the recent result delay, which inconvenienced lakhs of  students. Currently, the university has declared its timetable for the summer semester examinations starting in April. At present, MeritTrac is managing the online assessment of recent winter semester examinations.

The agency will continue to manage assessment of upcoming summer examinations too, since a new agency has not been hired. MU officials claimed that they have rectified the process and made the necessary changes, following the mess which delayed results by over three months. A senior official of MU, said, “The tendering process to hire a new agency will take time. We have already announced the examination timetable for summer examinations which will begin in a month. Also, a contract of three years has been signed with MeritTrac so they will continue.”

On the contrary, the state education ministry was initially adamant about replacing this agency. Vinod Tawde, state education minister for school and higher education, had earlier said, “The agency will be penalised for the chaos they created and will not be allowed to manage assessment of MU examinations in the future.”

In addition, Tawde had also mentioned in January that the process to appoint a new agency had begun. Tawde had said, “A new agency would be appointed for the summer semester examinations. MeritTrac would be charged a penalty for glitches which led to a delay in results by over three months as per the ministry.” University officials said that the decision to hire a new agency or penalise MeritTrac will be taken by the state but no action has yet been taken. Vinod Tawde was not available for a comment on this issue.

Students asked, how can the state allow the same agency to manage assessment despite being well aware of the delay it caused? Neha Sen, a student said, “This same agency managed our assessment of last summer semester examinations and we had to face a nightmare of over three months. There were several errors in our results. And now, they are allowing the same agency to conduct another assessment without even taking any action against it.”
