We are working with online students , it's becoming challenging to interact with them due to network issues and lack of sufficient data recharges on their end.

One of the primary challenges we face in creating learning spaces at our campuses is developing new and engaging activities. Designing activities that are not repetitive and distinct from those at other campuses can be quite challenging. Additionally, we strive to ensure that these activities are both interesting and fun for the students while also promoting learning. Coming up with innovative activity ideas each time is a complex task.

If we could access some interesting resources or ideas for creating new and engaging activities, it would greatly help us in this endeavor

Finding activity: it takes time to find an activity and plan for execution.
Facing the little challenge to create/find activity for module 0 and 1 students.
I want to add learning coding concepts in fun activities so students can learn a new concept in a fun way.
Good: They are enjoying learning and it's helping them.

In Sarjapur,

There are different levels of students on campus: boot camp students, rejoined students, module-studying students, and very new students. During goal-setting and reflection sessions, students who have been here for more than a year and some rejoined students are not very supportive.
When we plan coding quizzes, many students feel that it is a waste of time. Additionally, around 25 new students do not understand English, and I am unable to communicate with them in Hindi.
Last week, I was responsible for handling all campus activities and hackathons by myself. This included creating and updating usernames and data in sheets, conducting screening tests at different times, and managing new student arrivals. It was especially challenging because the campus LSA was not available to help, making the workload very hectic.
Recently, we introduced a house and reward system on campus. It will take some time for everyone to get accustomed to it.

Conducting learning activities is a good way of learning new things, and revising topics by playing an interesting game. Students like playing such activities and enjoy them.

Finding activity is the biggest challenge I face. We have to think a lot about which activity we should conduct. We discuss with each other, we get help from ChatGpt. It gives ideas, but we have to think a lot about how can we implement the ideas which are little time-consuming, sometimes if the activity is long it takes time to prepare.

What is going well?

we have started with some activities regularly with students these are for module 2 dry run space , and from modules 3 and 4 we have begun with pre-DSa and DSA space and allocated the specific time of the third half for that, also every alternate days we take pair activity and TCMQ.
with that, we have taken some activities like a quiz on Kahoot for modules 0 and 1 , a dry run relay race for module 2 students, and a treasure hunt with coding for module 4 students.

challenges

I’m finding it challenging to come up with new activities that are both fun and coding-focused for our students. However, I’m concerned that repeating similar activities might make them seem monotonous and diminish student engagement.
To maintain interest, we need to regularly introduce fresh and innovative activities. Additionally, varying the difficulty of these activities is crucial to ensure that advanced students, particularly those in module 4, are sufficiently challenged and can showcase their skills.
Also, students of module 4 are struggling as they don't have a design path for learning, and they keep asking for LXD of module 4.
Even with the assistance of ChatGPT, I am unable to grasp the concepts in Module 4 with enough clarity, and as a result, I lack in-depth subject knowledge. As a result, I am unable to clear up students' questions.

The first challenge we face is coming up with an activity that is engaging, ensuring that students participate with full energy. After that, we need to consider how realistic it is to conduct this activity. Will the students learn something from it? Will they enjoy it? We have to keep all these factors in mind when deciding on an activity. Once the activity is decided, a lot of preparation is required. We must conduct the activity with complete confidence and preparation. If anything is missed, it can lead to significant conflicts, so it's essential to always have a backup plan. During the activity, we often realise that we could have made it better.. During the activity, we often realise that there are ways we could have improved it. Many times, we find an activity very useful and enjoyable, but we struggle to find a way to implement it in reality. If everything goes according to plan, making decisions or reaching results isn't difficult. However, if a conflict arises, determining the winner becomes very challenging.

The best thing about our campus is that we don't have to worry about whether students will participate or not. They actively participate in every activity.

These activities help students learn better by doing things hands-on and strengthen their understanding. They also encourage teamwork and support among students. It’s great to see them actively involved and excited. Giving immediate feedback helps students learn quickly from their mistakes. These activities make learning fresh and engaging, creating a positive and motivating environment.

But there are some challenges too. Coming up with new and different ideas each time can be tough. Preparing for the activity, managing time, and making sure everything runs smoothly can be challenging. Keeping all students engaged and making sure they participate can be hard. It’s also important to prepare all materials ahead of time and balance the difficulty of the questions so they’re not too easy or too hard.

1.Due to network issues and insufficient data recharges, many of our online students are experiencing significant difficulties in participating in activities. These connectivity problems, coupled with frequent electricity outages, have resulted in many students being unable to complete their tasks on time. When queried, students often cite network disruptions and power outages as the primary reasons .

2.finding online activities for the students it is taking time and it will be paid versions to use

3. On campus only 11 students currently present .these students busy with bootcamps When asked to participate in activities, these students often mention they have existing tasks to complete as part of their bootcamp curriculum.

What is going good?

Activities for modules: We are organizing different activities for various modules, and the students are enjoying these activities. This approach helps us identify the areas where students need additional support.
Pre-DSA sapce: For module 3 and 4 students, we have started with pre-DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms). In the third half of the day, they are dedicating 2 hours daily to pre-DSA.
Pair learning and YCMQ(Your code My Question): We have implemented pair learning amd YCMQ, and it is going well. I am trying to pair with as many students as possible.

Challenges

We are facing issues designing activities for different modules and incorporating the learning objectives module-wise. New students on campus also want to participate in the fun activities designed for modules 3 and 4, but we are struggling to design engaging activities for module 0. Additionally, we are finding it challenging to create more enjoyable and varied activities for module 2A, especially for dry runs.
We don't have the LXDcurriculum for module 4, and students are requesting it. We are facing difficulties addressing their module 4 questions because our concepts are not clear. In-depth, we lack understanding of module 4, making it challenging to resolve the students' doubts.

We conducted three learning space activities on campus. Students enjoyed the activities and learned new things. Although we put a lot of thought into them, some small details were overlooked, which made me feel less productive at times. One challenge was when two students from Module 6b came to me with questions, and sometimes I couldn’t solve their doubts. In pair programming, I sit with students to solve their doubts. I learned a lot from this, but it took up a lot of time. I mostly pair with two to three students every day.

Madhukar

students frequently face network issues that hinder their participation in online meetings.

Positive Aspect:

In peer programming, students are given module-wise questions or tasks, making their learning experience enjoyable and engaging.

Doubt:

To ensure students are comprehending the material effectively, can we implement tests to assess their understanding?

Negative Aspect:

How can we create more excitement to make studying more enjoyable for the students?
