4 ALLAMA IQBAL OPEN UNIVERSITY The Allama Iqbal Open University (with its main campus in Islamabad) was established in 1974 under an Act of parliament. It was the second open university of the world and the first of its kind in Asia and Africa when it was established. Now more than 60 such universities are providing distance education and it is among the 4 top mega universities of the world. The aim of establishing AIOU was to provide affordable and accessible education through distance learning at the door-steps to those people, who could not continue their studies through formal system of education. The University (AIOU) operates on semester system and admits students in Autumn and Spring semesters. Under-graduate admissions are offered in both the semesters whereas post-graduates courses are offered once a year. The enrolled students are given course books, audio video cassettes specially prepared by the university on self instructional principles. However, at the postgraduate level reprints of foreign books allied with study guides help students to polish their skills. At present, the AIOU is offering programs from matric to Ph.D. level in diverse disciplines included in the four faculties. The University has established study centres across the country, where distance education students are provided necessary guidance by their respective tutors. Moreover, the university has established full time study centres, wherein the students of MBA (IT), MBA (Banking and finance, BS (CS), B.E (Engineering) and MS. are being provided instruction, guidance and counseling through face-to-face education. AIOU is offering 4-year under- graduate degrees. In some courses teaching is provided through radio, TV programmes. Apart from curricular and extra-curricular activities during the academic year, the AIOU and its regional centres actively participate in the co-curricular activities by arranging educational and literary seminars, workshops and conferences, attended not only by the students and faculties of the university but also by renowned dignitaries and scholars. For the science students and research scholars, a science complex has been built where they use the latest equipment of international standard. To meet the present day challenges internet facility is also available in the student s hostel and the central library, where computers have been provided to enable students to access latest information available through open source databases. FACULTY OF SCIENCES The Faculty of Sciences at AIOU has recently undergone a major upgradation in its conceptual framework, courses/programmes offering, mode of education and establishment of departments. The Faculty of Sciences was first established in 1982 with only five departments and limited number of undergraduates and basic functional courses. Over last three to four years, four new departments and a range of higher degree programmes have been added to the portfolio of Faculty of Sciences. Most of the departments in the Faculty are engaged in the development and offering of highly technical, scientific and professional programmes. For example, post graduate programmes of Physics, Chemistry, Community Health and Nutrition, Environmental Design, Dietetics, Computer Sciences, Live stock Management, M.Sc (Hons) Agricultural Extension, 1

5 Forestry Extension, Rural Development and Mathematics have been successfully launched. It is in consonance with the overall government's policy of upgrading and strengthening higher education and research in the country. The practical work is an essential component in the teaching of science subjects. In some cases, the university has to acquire laboratories of other institutions to meet this requirement. Now the university is establishing its own laboratories at the main campus to fulfill the requirement of practical work in the science disciplines. In order to cater the research component of M.Phil/Ph.D programmes of the faculty of sciences, the construction of research complex with an investment of more than Rs.300 million has been completed at the AIOU main campus. The faculty also aims at ensuring the relevance of these programmes/courses to the needs of the real world by involving distinguished scientists, practitioners, institutions, academics and researchers from both public and private sector. In view of the present government's policy of developing the field of Science and Technology in the country, AIOU has made the development of science department on its top priority. A lot has already been done in this regard. During last two years, essential funds were given to different science departments to establish laboratories. The graduate programmes are also highly professional and in accordance with social and global demand. The list includes bachelor's degrees in Telecommunications, Automobile Engineering, Vision Sciences and Computer Sciences. Owing to the practical nature of these programmes, special arrangements are made for setting up study centers in automobile workshops, hospitals, computer centers, and other technical/scientific laboratories. Further, students are given an opportunity to avail work experience in reputed institutions. A comprehensive four years BS programme in Chemistry, Microbiology, Physics, Mathematics and Environmental Science in-accordance with the HEC guidelines has been developed. The laboratories for catering practical component are being furnished. In the very near future BS programmes will be launched. To fill the gap between secondary and graduate studies the faculty has also launched four F.Sc (HSSC) programmes in Pre- Medical, Pre-Engineering, and Family & Community Health & Home Economics. Research is an integral part of all the postgraduate programs. Studying for the research component offers an exciting prospects of working at the frontier of knowledge under the supervision/ guidance of an expert in the relevant field of study. Extensive research based M. Phil/ PhD Food & Nutrition, MS leading to PhD Computer Science, M.Phil Statistics and PhD Agriculture programmes have been launched. Attracting high caliber academics has been another very significant factor in shaping the faculty and securing good quality educational programmes. The course/programme enrollment is consistent and constently increasing in most cases. The future aims at filling gaps, consolidating overall national education policies and promoting diversified research culture in most scientific fields. DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE The Department of Computer Science is established Department in the Faculty of Sciences. The Department has received recognition nationwide in very short span of time as the large number of Computer Science students are currently enrolled in different academic programs. Presently the Department offers BS (Computer Science), MS (Computer Science) and PGD (Computer Science) in Online mode. 2

6 The curricula of all these programs are according to Higher Education Commission's recommendations as well as ACM (Association of Computing Machinery) recommendations. The BS (CS) program is offered in face-to-face teaching mode in selected Approved Study Centers. MS (CS) Programme is offered only at the main campus, Islamabad and PGD (CS) program is offered online. Faculty Members Sr. No. Name & Designation 1.

15 Department of Biology, Research Complex Allama Iqbal Open University, Sector H-8, Islamabad. Phone: (051) FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES First established in 1981 with five departments, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities has over the years, flourished to become by far the largest Faculty of the University. It today consists of thirteen departments offering master programmes in major areas of social sciences and humanities like, Business Administration, Economics, Mass Communication, Sociology, Women Studies, Urdu, Library and Information Sciences, History, Pakistan Studies and Teaching of English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). The Commonwealth-collaborated masters programme in the area of Business Administration, which is specially tailored for the modern day busy executives, is also offered. Similarly, in tune with the government's policy of promoting and strengthening a culture of higher education and research in the country, the AIOU's Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities has shown a lot of dynamism over the past five years. It has not only started offering M Phil/ PhD programmes in Economics, Iqbaliat, Urdu and M Phil Mass Communication; M Phil in Applied Linguistics and History but also in various stages of readiness for launching. The faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities also offers several bachelor level programmes in Library and Information Sciences (BLIS), Business Administration, Commerce (B.Com) and Mass Communication. Tens of thousands of students comprising all demographic groups and from all over the country enroll each year in these bachelor's level programmes. Due to the university's recent policy of increased reliance on face-to-face component through setting-up collaborative study centres throughout the country, the yearly course enrolment has registered a manifold increase. In fact, course enrolment for the six currently offered master's programmes has posted a 100 percent increase in the past two years. Encouraged by this diversification of its academic specializations within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, proposals for setting-up new academic departments of Political Science and International Relations, Psychology, Public Administration and Philosophy are on the anvil. These disciplines, once in place, shall complete the AIOU's recently initiated shift toward becoming a truly dynamic, a self-sustainable, and the largest institution of higher learning and research in the country. 12

16 1. FRENCH ONLINE (CERTIFICATE COURSE Code 112) PROGRAM a) Introduction: French Online Course is run by AIOU in close collaboration with Alliance Française, which is the French Cultural Center, under the support of Embassy of France. This programme is the result of three years of research and synergy among teachers, computer scientists, graphic designers and experts in the field of multimedia technology. It is also the result of a close working relationship between a team of Pakistani language experts and human resources from Alliance Française, the Cultural Section of the French Embassy and Allama Iqbal Open University. French is the only foreign language that can be useful throughout the world. French as a foreign language is the second most frequently taught language in the world after English. The International Organization of Francophonie has 51 member states and governments. Of these, 28 countries have French as an official language. French is the only language other than English spoken on five continents. French is the language that will give you the most choices later on in your studies or your career. French is the official working language of the United Nations UNESCO NATO Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) the International Labor Bureau the International Olympic Committee the 31-member Council of Europe the European Community the Universal Postal Union the International Red Cross Union of International Associations (UIA) French is the dominant working language at the European Court of Justice the European Tribunal of First Instance the Press Room at the European Commission in Brussels, Belgium In order to keep a pace with fast growing approach in launching multifarious programmes by both public and private sector educational institutions, we considered it feasible to launch advanced level French language courses in near future in cooperation with French Cultural Centre and the Embassy of France, Islamabad. Three more courses have already been approved by the Committee of courses and the Faculty Board. The launching of Masters in French and the establishment of French Department are also two basic objectives in collaboration with the French Cultural Center and the Embassy of France. 13

17 The French Online method offers to learn French in an easy way. You will have the benefit of learning through a dynamic, attractive and interactive method. You can do different activities, quizzes and exercises and listen to dialogues and vocabulary. All you need is a PC and access to Internet. b) Objectives: This programme aims at establishing new partnerships with the educational institutions working in the field of distance learning. Its main objectives are: to promote education and contribute to sustainable development in Pakistan to offer opportunity for learning French in the areas where the French language institutions are not available. to reach people who cannot attend conventional classes. to enhance cooperation in the field of education by sponsoring studies in French. c) Eligibility & Selection Criteria: A candidate having at least 2 nd division in FA/F.Sc is eligible for admission. Candidates having 3 rd division in FA/F.Sc are not eligible for admission in the course. In case they have a 3 rd division in FA/F.Sc but have done BA/B.Sc or Masters with at least 2 nd division then they are also eligible for admission in French Online Certificate Course. The admission office of the university will process the application forms and allot roll numbers and registration numbers. After three months or so the study material is mailed to the students. In case a student does not receive any material after 90 days of submission of the admission form, he/she is advised to contact the Mailing Officer, Services Block, AIOU, Islamabad or the nearest Regional Office of the AIOU. d) Scheme of Study: The programme comprises the following modules:- Module Module 1.

18 At present, the programme is being offered in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad, Sialkot. f) Assessment: Assignments The main purpose of assignments is to test the students comprehension of the syllabus of the course and the modules available on French Online website. The students can have access to these modules after getting enrolled in the course. They receive a pass word from the university that help them to learn French through our French Online website. The information provided in the course material available on Internet is sufficient for answering the questions given in the assignments. The assignments are designed in such a way as to help the students to concentrate mainly on the course material available on the Internet and exploit their personal experience. The students are therefore advised to take the assignments seriously. A simple omission on their part may cause considerable loss to them, which can be avoided by exercising proper care. The students may note that they will not be allowed to appear in the final examination if they do not submit both the assignments within due date and obtain at least 50% aggregate marks in the assignments. Mid Term Exam After completing the first four modules there will be a mid term exam. Failing to appear in the exam or getting less than 40% marks means that you are not eligible to appear in the final exam and will have to get admission again in the course. Final Exam. The university will inform you about the final exam. The university will allot you a roll number and the examination center. If you fail in the final exam you can reappear the next scheduled semester. Tutorial System At Allama Iqbal Open University the cornerstone of its educational system is the tutorial system. Under distance education, tutors are the key academic help available to students. The students have a face-to-face contact with them fortnightly. The university carefully selects its tutors. During the tutorial sessions students will practice pronunciation and conversation skills through role-play, sketches, etc. Students will be given specific task to complete in the tutorial session; students participation would be meaningful and productive only if they do the assigned tasks effectively and learn the modules online before coming to attend the tutorials. 15

19 Tutors are appointed by the concerned Regional Offices at the start of each semester. The name and address of the tutors and the study centers for conducting the tutorial sessions will be sent to you later before the tutorial meetings start. The students are divided into different groups. Each group consists of 20 students (Approximately). The groups, timings and days for the tutorial sessions, study centers and the tutors allotted to the group cannot be changed. Instructional System Each module in the programme may include combination of the following learning activities: 1. The four skills are practiced under the tutorial system of distance education mode. 2. A work book and audio CD will be mailed to the students. 3. Assignments for continuous assessment are given to the students, the tutor gives feedback on the assignments 4. A workshop reinforces what the students have learned and will be held at the regional campuses. Learning a foreign language is not an easy job especially when you are learning it alone. Lots of efforts are needed on the part of the student. But Vouloir c est Pouvoir (Where there is a will there is a way). So you have to plan your schedule right from the beginning. Make sure that you spend enough time on internet to learn the lessons. Before starting your study period you will receive your password and the schedule for fortnightly tutorial sessions. There are 8 modules and 8 tutorial sessions (apart from the introductory session). When you get your password, you will be able to have access to the lessons available on the internet. Now you have two weeks to prepare one lesson. Before coming to your next class or tutorial meeting, make sure that you learn the lesson well. You have to come to the class well prepared because your tutor is not going to teach you but he/she will help you utilizing what ever you have learnt. But if you have some particular problem regarding pronunciation, grammar etc. you can definitely ask your tutor. Study Material The students will be given a package containing the study materials like: 1. Modules available on the internet. Each module is composed of dialogues, multiple choice questions; fill in the blanks, listening and questions/answers. 2. Student workbook + an audio CD Normally for the Spring Semester this material should reach a student by the end of May and by the end of November for the Autumn Semester. 16
