Content production and experiments
Focus. Status of video content verticals, edited course assets, and exploratory production pipelines from IIT Gandhinagar.
Internal update deck. July 7, 2026.
Part A
Content
Vertical-wise production status and course adaptation work.
Career vertical
FLY content pipeline
Our work on the career vertical work is mostly provided by the CMI team via the pedagogy that has proven successful in the FLY framework.
A part of this content went through the pilot and is being edited based on feedback. New shoots are underway and we expect edits to be complete by the end of this month for three pillars.
Done
Material cleared through the current production pass.
WIP
Editing and production work currently active.
August
Remaining portion to be taken up next month.
Pedagogy + Assessments
Three content streams
3.5h to 1.5h
Prof. Pankaj Jalote's course: raw material edited into a compact course.
Prof. Pankaj Jalote's course. Edited course duration is about 01:31:27. The sequence reframes teaching around learning, outcomes, activities, assessment, and motivation.
5h+ to 2.5h
Learner-Centric-MOOC adaptation in progress, led by Prof. Sameer Sahasrabudhe and on track for end of July.
Learner-Centric-MOOC adaptation. Current plan compresses source material into crisp sections on learner connect, LCM design, practice, feedback, extension resources, and adoption.
