Justification for the Project

Fashion Technology emerged as a new profession offering multifarious career

opportunities.

According to Planning Commission, Govt. of India during the 11th Plan Period,
there is a need for above 6.5 million skilled human resource to cater to the
evergrowing demands of fashion, textile and apparel industries.

The academic institutions (Colleges and Universities) in the country are

producing approximately 80,000 students in fashion technology area per year;
thus creating a huge human supply gap to meet the industrial requirement.

The fashion and textile sector is the second largest employer after agriculture and
has capabilities and capacity to provide more employment opportunities.

However there is a dearth of availability of learning materials on these emerging

subjects.

Vocational education programmes and online education programmes are the best
suited mode to create skilled human resource.

Further the courses offered online are highly expensive and not affordable to the
majority of knowledge- job seekers including academicians and professionals.

In a developing economy like India, there is an urgent need to make available

free, open, high quality course materials on fashion and related subjects to the
benefit of larger masses of population and knowledge seekers.

NIFT being the pioneer in fashion education is well equipped to undertake this
project of developing e-content on fashion design and technology subjects being
offered by UGC recognized Indian Universities and make them accessible to all
the stake holders and hence this project.
18

The Project

The project envisages preparation and development of e-content in the broad area
of Fashion Design & Technology for those subjects which have been taught by
the UGC recognized institutions / universities at graduation, diploma and
vocational levels.

The project also proposes to utilize the pool of reservoir of experts available in
NIFT in the preparation of e-content.

Total no. of 73 faculty members owing allegiance to design, technology and

management disciplines have been identified as subject Matter Experts (SMEs)
from all 15 NIFT Centres. The consent from the identified SMEs have been
obtained. The Directors of the respective centres have also confirmed. The
letters from the directors are enclosed in the project.

It is proposed to prepare e-content of 40 hours of teaching per subject for UG, PG

& Diploma and 20 hours for vocational programmes using four quadrant
approach.

The project proposes to develop e-content for 120 subjects in a total period of one
year and four months; out of which 60 subjects will be developed in the first
seven months and e-content for 60 subjects will be developed in second seven
months period.

Methodology for e-Content Development Four Quadrant Approach

X
25

26

The following methodology will be applied and due care will be taken while preparing
the e-content material. The following sequence will be followed in the preparation of econtent material.
Step 1
Approval from NME-ICT of the specific subject will be taken for e-content development.
Step 2
Selection of subject matter experts will be made based on their expertise and experience.
Step 3
All the subject matter experts will be briefed about the NME-ICT mission and its
objectives. Their consent will be obtained to prepare e-course material on the subjects of
their expertise and willingness to abide by the mission objectives.
Step 4
Allotment of topics / subjects for content development to Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)
with specific timeliness and standard pattern of development of e-content based on four
quadrant approach.
Step 5
On submission of draft e-content material by the SMEs to the project office.
Step 6
On submission of draft e-content material by the SMEs to the project office, the same
will be converted into the following by applying four quadrant approach:

e-tutorial of material in the form of Audio-Video/ animations/ simulations,

virtual labs in an organized form will be prepared

e-content will be developed in PDF/e-books/ having illustrations, video

demonstrations and incorporation of interactive simulations wherever required

27

Web resources which includes access to open content in to internet, related links,
case studies, articles, historical development of the subject, wikipedia
development of course, anecdotal information.

Provision for Self Assessment of the learner / knowledge seeker is also made as
an integral part of e-content which may include a plethora of options like FAQs,
quizzes, multiple choice questions, general misconceptions, online feedback,
assignments etc.

Step 7
The e-content material prepared will be tested and feedback obtained from peer group,
students and other stake holders to test the adequacy, standards, quality etc.
Step 8
Upon proper feedback by peer group / learners, the e-content developed will be tested
again by the Principal Investigator and his team for authentication, plagiarism check,
copy right, quality etc.
Step 9
Upon acceptance by the Principal Investigator, the e-content developed will be submitted
to the editorial board / review group consisting of eminent academicians, subject experts
to check the adequacy, validity and fitness of the developed programme.
Step 10
Upon approval by the editorial board / review group the developed e-content subject
material will be submitted to the NME-ICT.

28

Intellectual Property Rights

All the e-content material prepared will be of original contribution out of intellectual
input of the resource persons. As the project is being funded fully by the Ministry of
HRD under NME-ICT mission, the legitimate ownership rests with Ministry of HRD and
hence the Ministry of HRD will have the IP Rights.

Deliverables

The project will shatter the myth of fashion education meant for urban affluent
students.

The project will make available the e-content on the subjects identified in the
broad area of fashion design and technology.

The project envisages to address and overcome the supply-demand gap for the
skilled manpower in the fashion industry.

The project would enable the stakeholders for easy access to the fashion design
and technology subjects which is not being offered by the rural based education
institutions.

The e-content developed would be highly cost effective.

The project provides scope for feedback and rectification based on the feedback.

The project envisages to complete 120 subjects and 4440 course contents in one
year and four months duration.

In the first seven months period, 2220 e-content of fashion design and technology
of 60 subjects will be completed. Each e-course content will be of 60 minutes
duration.

In the second seven months period, 2220 e-content of fashion design and
technology of 60 subjects will be completed. Each e-course Content will be of 60
minutes duration.
