Transcript: This has significantly attracted attention from UN and other international organizations In 2005, of the 809 million rural populations 364 million no electricity 726 million no modern cooking fuel Patil (2011), this was due to low effectiveness of government policies and programs of the past, and need for a more effective approach to bridge this gap Patil (2011), lack of energy access can be of following reasons: Lack of physical access, Lack of physical availability, Lack of acceptability, Lack of affordability, and Lack of adequacy. Some other reasons: High transmission and distribution (T & D) losses, Frequent disruption in supply of grid power, Practical difficulties and financial un-viability of extending grid to remote and inaccessible areas, Dispersed population in small villages resulting in low peak loads in rural and remote areas, Poor financial health of the state electricity boards Ethics XIth 5-year plan emphasis on 100% rural electrification by end of 2007, and complete household electrification by 2012 To achieve this, a major program of grid extension and strengthening of the rural electricity infrastructure has been initiated under the Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) The National Electricity Policy (NEP) emphasizes decentralized electricity generation from both renewable and conventional (non-renewable) energy sources, whichever is suitable and economical, would be deployed Methodology Ethics Delivered cost of electricity Capital Recovery Factor Net Present Value Pricing risk in rural electrification in India through biomass gasification Introduction Khander et. al. (2012) states that recent methods to estimate the benefits of electricity have often involved the use of consumer surplus Literature Review A third of world's population in India have no access to electricity More than 40% of rural population no access to modern energy Traditional forms of energy are proving increasingly unsustainable (cc) image by nuonsolarteam on Flickr Finished Methodology Ravindranath et. al. (2009) in their paper states that there has been potentially huge resource base for biomass that goes for inefficient utilization. Cust et. al.

Transcript: Customer engagement in online travel portals pertaining to the traveler’s experience hasn’t reached the highest point of saturation. Travel and tour companies in India haven’t substantially exploited and integrated the whole concept of user generated content for their customer Non authenticated of the review provided by the traveler on the social travel networking site which eventually misleads other potential travelers about a to make their decision to plan their vacation your travel experience to a certain destination Conclusion The power of UGC travel sites lies in their role as a source of electronic WOM in travel planning. Travelers are exposed to and are likely empowered by UGC websites devoted to the selling or discussion of travel. UGC can provide a strong sense of a traveler service/product, add to the consumer’s overall image of the hotel or destination, and likely reduce pre-purchase doubt. EMPOWERING TRAVELERS RELIABILITY TEST Travelers plan a vacation once in 3 Months. Mean of the data suggests the frequency is 2.79 Therefore, travelers who visit the travel portals are closer to the hypothesis (Test: Mean and frequency) Male: Hotels/Rates & Reviews rational approach towards (the price, package and value for money. Male: Mode of transport and its cost Calculative thought process (From booking of flight tickets to railways tickets Female: Information about the location to plan a vacation They are more curious to know which travel portal (Lonely Planet, Travelocity and Trip advisor) Male/Female: attracted on looking at pictures of tourist destinations and historic monuments. (makemytrip.com and Travelocity ) Male/Females: Packages given by tours and travel companies (pivotal role in deciding on the timing for their trip) Online Travel Industry in India UGC in the Travel Industry OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY Word of mouth independently influence others by expressing experience about the vacation. It has the negative correlation with all the variables. Writing reviews about the location visited for vacation has positive correlation with gender, uploading pictures; share experience on travel SNS and giving most number of likes and stars to the destination visited. Uploading pictures of the location visited for vacation has positive correlation with gender, writing reviews about location; share experience on SNS and giving most number of likes and stars to the destination visited Share experience on SNS about the location visited for vacation has positive correlation with gender, uploading pictures; writing reviews about location and giving most number of likes and stars to the destination visited Friends and family was selected as the most preferred option as a travel source Multiple dichotomy suggested 21.9% preferred friends and family. Online travel portal with a 21.7% of respondence 34% Travelers average time spent on travel portal is 1 month Mean of the data suggests the frequency is 2.79 while planning a vacation and gender LITERATURE REVIEW RESEARCH DESIGN: Descriptive HYPOTHESIS: Ha: Travelers plan their vacation trip by the influence of various social activities on the travel portals. Ho: Travelers plan their vacation trip without the influence of various social activities on travel portals SAMPLING: Simple random stratified sampling / Snow ball sampling .660 DATA ANALYSIS Service providers need to understand which factors influence individuals. TSP and travel portals should emphasize to potential travelers for using UGC when making travel plans. It is important to monitor UGC daily in order to ensure that any negative UGC is responded to by the service provider. Include an UGC facility on their websites which allows consumers to post their opinion and receive feedback from the service providers about the issue presented.

Transcript: Implications and transformations arise during the development of a course (level I) to teach English under the parameters of Communicative Language Teaching within a Moodle platform . Research Context From grammar in isolation towards the integration of language skills. Conclusions and Pedagogical Implications GRAMMAR Students did not have any chance to communicate and interact among themselves Teaching grammar withing CLT Viewing English language as mean of expression rather than linguistic code. Miguel Alberto Rincón Pinzón Advisor: Emilena Hernández Leal. Universidad Santo Tomás Bachelor in English as a Foreign Language Evidence Category 5 The students pointed that the interactivity in the virtual room allowed collaborative work among them; they also manifested their comfort since they were using the new resources and can integrate technology with English making it more functional and communicative. Category 1 The data was analyzed from a qualitative perspective by drawing categories and sub-categories from the data (Seliger & Shohamy, 1989) Sub Category 2.3 Evaluating the data Research Questions Categorizing information as coding the data or indexing the data Action Research Steps RESEARCH DESIGN Steps proposed by Taylor & Renner (2003): The lessons were mainly about grammar structures and translation Sub Question 2 Category 3: Students’ use of English is meaning based DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS Information Communications Technology (ICT) in grammar teaching MOODLE Step 5 Category 4 Evidence Sub Category 2.4 Evidence MAIN RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the implications of designing and implementing a communicative course to teach English in level I under the parameters of Communicative Language Teaching within a moodle platform? Sub Category 2.1 Sub Category 1.1 Instructional Design Its relevance deal with the incorporation of new views, actions and strategies in the functional and communicative approaches: Communicative Language Teaching in the EFL classroom. Students find interesting interacting in a virtual environment. Sub Category 2.2 Evidence Its contribution deals with the fact that this research project was thought and designed to engage students in a new, funny and meaningful way to learn English. Criteria to analyze the data: Evidence My name is Emanuel and this is my family tree. I begin with the father´s father, his name was Numa and I unknown about his liven Venezuela with my uncles, aunts, cousins Etc…. My father is Shepherd and is an excellent person. I and my brother are fruit of that love. My brother is studying in the college and I am Studying in the university. I´m musician and my brother too… All are Christian less my three grandfathers because the mother´s father was Christian; this is my family. DATA ANALYSIS Subcategory 5.1 Adjusting the syllabus and the teaching process to the principles of communicative language teaching. FINDINGS What are the learning implications and transformations when implementing a course under the parameters of CLT within a moodle platform? From mechanical practice of English towards meaningful, contextualized and communicative tasks . The students give themselves the opportunity to talk in English providing real contexts, where they can feel more comfortable, and they considered that the use of the moodle platform helped them in the English learning. Subcategory 3.1: Students used language in context. (Students integrate personal and cultural knowledge) They perceive the course offers opportunities to learn and apply what they learn The view of language changes from a very a structural view towards a more communicative and functional view of language. Identifying patterns and connections within and between categories My role as a teacher was no longer a model or controller of classroom, but also as a guide and academic partner and material designer. Step 1 CLT: Students are encouraged to consider language not only in terms grammar and vocabulary, but also in terms of the communicative function. Subcategory 4.1: Students attempt to express their ideas through different strategies (use of L1, illustrating, asking for help, using models of language use, using nonverbal language) Explaining the findings From structure-focused goals towards communicative goals Changing the view of language has an implication in the planning and design of teaching activities and materials within the communicative language teaching From valuing students’ learning based of the product towards assessing the whole process A communicative syllabus (Miranda, Calle & Saez;2006) Understanding the data (observing through artifacts) Subquestions: Documentary evidence or artifacts Non-structured Interview (Brown, 2007) Step 3 During the pedagogical implementation, I used formative assessment, which it is used through instruments and procedures to follow, and monitor students’ learning process COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH Learning in a MOODLE platform “Mi nombre es Andrea Carolina Martínez… antes
