Feedback on Accessibility Training
 As our Kalasalingam University is conducting B.Tech. programs for Speech and hearing
Impaired students, the teachers involved in teaching the differently abled students find the
training in Speech recognition software and Photostory very useful.
Dr. Radhakrishnan, VC, KLU
 So far we the academicians’ prepared the course materials using stationeries like pen, pencil
and papers. After attending SAKSHAM IT skills training program, I may use the Learning
Content Development System (LCDS) software to prepare the course materials. In additions
to that I can prepare a course material for Speech and Hearing Impaired Students using
Photo story 3.0.
M. Sivasubramanian, Department of Mechanical Engineering, KLU
 I found accessibility sessions, dream spark and email using hotmail very interesting for me

Feedback – KLU, Tamilnadu
It gives me immense pleasure in writing few words regarding SAKSHAM – faculty development
program conducted by Microsoft at Kalasalingam University, from 30th Nov, to 9th Dec, 2011. On
behalf of Participant – Saksham - KLU, I wish the Saksham team to get success in future endowers.
I thank Microsoft and my Superiors for given me an opportunity to undergo this training.
IT Skills: In IT Skills training, I have learnt lots new software’s related to teaching and learning
process. I got a chance to explore the new features available in the MS word, MS Excel and MS
Power Point 2010. The above learning features may be help full in my research work and to my
students also in preparing the reports, maintaining the data and Project presentations.
So far we the academicians’ prepared the course materials using stationeries like pen, pencil and
papers. After attending SAKSHAM IT skills training program, I may use the Learning Content
Development System (LCDS) software to prepare the course materials. In additions to that I can
prepare a course material for Speech and Hearing Impaired Students using Photo story 3.0.
I have started using Sky drive feature which is available in Live or Hotmail. I have shared the
research and project work contents with my project students using the Sky drive. I have shared the
contents learnt through this program with my project students and my colleagues in the
department.
Contd…
Dream Spark and faculty connect portal is really use full for the students and academicians like me.
I assure that, I will implement the IT skills I have gained through this program and I will make my
friends, project students and my colleagues to make use of the features of Microsoft.
Soft Skills: Through this Soft Skills training, I came to know that I may be a good Mentor in our
university. I got a chance to evaluate myself, my strengths and weakness. Through this program I
learnt what is effective mentoring process, how it influences throughout our career development.
I have started mentoring process, my project students of 7 members are my mentees. I am sharing
the things I have learnt through the SAKSHAM and started learning the things from them. The
activities I have undergone during the 10days training, was really good and effective in enhancing
the mentoring skills. I learnt about collaborative skills and presentation skills through this program.
This program may be a tool to know yourself to enrich your career. Through this program only, I
came to know about the NMEICT and its policies.
This program helped me a lot in setting my carrier goals aligned with my University goal. I assure
that in future I will be a good mentor as well as mentee (since nothing is well known to any one).
I personally thank, Sandeep K Tomar and Rakhi for their training and sharing Information.

FEEDBACK ON MICROSOFT WORKSHOP SAKSHAM
General Feedback
The program was an overall eye-opener for all the academicians who participated. Many useful
software tools which were new to us were explained. Especially the tools like mathematics 4.0 would be
very useful to us. The collaborative activities were really good.
Technical Feedback
Some more programs like Microsoft outlook, Microsoft Access, Microsoft InfoPath, and Microsoft
Publisher could have been discussed. Some other areas of document authorization and protection need
to be discussed. (other than password protection which was already discussed). More contents need to
be given as exercises and self study modules for fast learners in the group.
Some advanced topics should also be discussed as ‘food for brain’ for advanced learners in the group.
In overall view the program was really good and useful to us. I am sure that I will be able to do more
things in future so that the benefit of the program can be extended to a broader range of peers in my
institution.
I am deeply indebted to Microsoft India for their sincere and best efforts to spread technology across
our country. Also my sincere thanks go to the company for selecting two wonderful persons like
Sandeep Tomar sir and Rakhi Madam as the trainers.
