Blogs, e.g., used to stay up to date for news and
feedback, experiences regarding studies to other
students, as well as for supplying learning materials
and links to further resources; give insight to students
on shared information.
Podcasts are most frequently used to provide students
with lecture recordings and additional audio material.
Podcasts are attractive to learners because they allow
learning at one's own pace, listening to the audio or
video content as many times as necessary, even using
commuting time to learn

Students do need a online portal for resource sharing, discussions and
networking
Students are willing to share their own resource and hold discussions
regarding different topic
Students want to broaden the scope of this portal to all this universities
Students wants resources not only from IBA, but also from any other
university students, and also wants free access for any student

a portal is needed as soon as possible


Make mandatory for
students to upload there
presentations and reports
on ICN, otherwise they
won’t be graded
(enforcement by teachers)
At least for 2 semesters
after launch of ICN
It’s taking us away from the
“Social Aspect”



OR

MOTIVATE THEM !!
But how?
According to survey results
students are willing to
contribute. But they are
lethargic, very few will take
pains of uploading there
material on ICN
How we can deal it with ?
Its difficult to keep new students
encouraged to share !
35

Strengths
◦ Specific to needs of students
◦ Simple to use
◦ Attractive layout and design
◦ Provide benefits like:
 Students can find reference material for their assignments
 People from industry can use it
 Helpful to non- IBA students also
36

Weaknesses
◦ Its success highly relies on the interest of students in sharing
material on it
◦ It will be managed by student body which will change every
year, there objectives and ideas can be different from previous
management.
◦ Inappropriate / irrelevant material if uploaded by some one
can cause harm too the goodwill of IBA and ICN
◦ WHAT DO YOU THINK?
37

Opportunities
◦ Establish culture of sharing and helping among students
◦ Goodwill of IBA
◦ WHAT OPPORTUNITIES YOU CAN IDENTIFY ?
38

Threats
◦ Copied by some other university
◦ Management of IBA might not be interested in continuing this
project
◦ WHAT YOU THINK IS THREAT TO THIS PROJECT ?
