 Course Details / Description & Preliminaries
Course Title Internet of Things(IoT) System Development &
Applications
Objectives and Employable skills through an intensive course on Internet of
Expectations
Things (IoT)

This is a special course designed to address unemployment in the

youth. The course aims to achieve the above objective through hands
on practical training delivery by a team of dedicated professionals
having rich market/work experience. This course is therefore not just
for developing a theoretical understanding/back ground of the trainees.
Contrary to that it is primarily aimed at equipping the trainees to
perform commercially in a market space in independent capacity or as
a member of a team.
The course therefore is designed to impart not only technical skills but
also soft skills (i.e. interpersonal/communication skills; personal
grooming of the trainees etc) as well as entrepreneurial skills ( i.e
marketing skills; free lancing etc). The course also seeks to inculcate
work ethics to foster better citizenship in general and improve the
image of Pakistani work force in particular.

Main Expectations:
In short, the course under reference should be delivered by
professional instructors in such a robust hands- on manner that the
trainees are comfortably able to employ their skills for earning money
(through wage/self-employment) at its conclusion.
This course thus clearly goes beyond the domain of the traditional
training practices in vogue and underscores an expectation that a
market centric approach will be adopted as the main driving force while

FVTLM008 Page 2
 delivering it. The instructors should therefore be experienced enough to
be able to identify the training needs for the possible market roles
available out there. Moreover, they should also know the strengths and
weaknesses of each individual trainee to prepare them for such market
roles during/after the training.

Key Features of i. Specially designed practical tasks to be performed by the

Training& Special
Modules trainees have been included in the Annexure-I to this
document. The record of all tasks performed individually or in
groups must be preserved by the management of the training
Institute clearly labeling name, trade, session etc so that
these are ready to be physically inspected/verified through
monitoring visits from time to time. The weekly distribution of
tasks has also been indicated in the weekly lesson plan
given in this document.
ii. In order to materialize the main expectations, a special
module on Job Search & Entrepreneurial Skills has been
included in the later part of this course (2nd & 3rd month)
through which, the trainees will be made aware of the Job
search techniques in the local as well as international job
markets (Gulf countries). Awareness around the visa process
and immigration laws of the most favoured labour destination
countries also forms a part of this module. Moreover, the
trainees would also be encouraged to venture into self-
employment and exposed to the main requirements in this
regard. It is also expected that a sense of civic duties/roles
and responsibilities will also be inculcated in the trainees to
make them responsible citizens of the country.
iii. A module on Work Place Ethics has also been included to

FVTLM008 Page 3
 highlight the importance of good and positive behavior at
work place in the line with the best practices elsewhere in the
world. An outline of such qualities has been given in the
Appendix to this document. Its importance should be
conveyed in a format that is attractive and interesting for the
trainees such as through PPT slides +short video
documentaries. Needless to say that if the training provider
puts his heart and soul into these otherwise non-technical
components, the image of Pakistani workforce would
undergo a positive transformation in the local as well as
international job markets.

In order to maintain interest and motivation of the trainees throughout

the course, modern techniques such as:
• Success Stories,
• Motivational Lectures
• Case Studies
These techniques would be employed as an additional training tool
wherever possible (these are explained in the subsequent section on
Training Methodology).
Lastly, evaluation of the competencies acquired by the trainees will be
done objectively at various stages of the training and proper record of
the same will be maintained. Suffice to say that for such evaluations,
practical tasks would be designed by the training providers to gauge
the problem-solving abilities of the trainees.

(i) Motivational Lectures

FVTLM008 Page 4
Training Tools/ The proposed methodology for the training under reference employs
Methodology
motivation as a tool. Hence besides the purely technical content, a
trainer is required to include elements of motivation in his/her lecture
to inspire the trainees to utilize the training opportunity to the full and
strive towards professional excellence. Motivational lectures may also
include general topics such as the importance of moral values and civic
role & responsibilities as a Pakistani. A motivational lecture should be
delivered with enough zeal to produce a deep impact on the trainees. It
may comprise of the following:

 Clear Purpose to convey message to trainees effectively.

 Personal Story to quote as an example to follow.
 Trainees Fit so that the situation is actionable by trainees and
not represent a just idealism.
 Ending Points to persuade the trainees on changing themselves.

A good motivational lecture should help drive creativity, curiosity and

spark the desire needed for trainees to want to learn more.
Impact of a successful motivational strategy is amongst others
commonly visible in increased class participation ratios. It increases the
trainees’ willingness to be engaged on the practical tasks for longer
time without boredom and loss of interest because they can clearly see
in their mind's eye where their hard work would take them in short (1-3
years); medium (3 -10 years) and long term (more than 10 years).

As this tool is expected that the training providers would make

arrangements for regular well planned motivational lectures as part of a
coordinated strategy interspersed throughout the training period as
suggested in the weekly lesson plans in this document.

(ii) Success Stories

FVTLM008 Page 5
 Another effective way of motivating the trainees is by means of
Success Stories. Its inclusion in the weekly lesson plan at regular
intervals has been recommended till the end of the training.
A success story may be disseminated orally, through a presentation or
by means of a video/documentary of someone that has risen to fortune,
acclaim, or brilliant achievement. A success story shows how a person
achieved his goal through hard work, dedication and devotion. An
inspiring success story contains compelling and significant facts
articulated clearly and easily comprehendible words. Moreover, it is
helpful if it is assumed that the reader/listener knows nothing of what is
being revealed. Optimum impact is created when the story is revealed
in the form of:-
 Directly in person (At least 2-3 cases must be arranged by the
training institute)
 Through an audio/ videotaped message (2-3 high quality videos
must be arranged by the training institute)

It is expected that the training provider would collect relevant high

quality success stories for inclusion in the training as suggested in the
weekly lesson plan given in this document.
Suggestive structure and sequence of a sample success story and its
various shapes can be seen at annexure III.

(iii) Case Studies

Where a situation allows, case studies can also be presented to the
trainees to widen their understanding of the real life specific
problem/situation and to explore the solutions.
In simple terms, the case study method of teaching uses a real life
case example/a typical case to demonstrate a phenomenon in action
and explain theoretical as well as practical aspects of the knowledge
related to the same. It is an effective way to help the trainees
comprehend in depth both the theoretical and practical aspects of the

FVTLM008 Page 6
 complex phenomenon in depth with ease. Case teaching can also
stimulate the trainees to participate in discussions and thereby boost
their confidence. It also makes class room atmosphere interesting thus
maintaining the trainee interest in training till the end of the course.
Depending on suitability to the trade, the weekly lesson plan in this
document may suggest case studies to be presented to the trainees.
The trainer may adopt a power point presentation or video format for
such case studies whichever is deemed suitable but it’s important that
only those cases are selected that are relevant and of a learning value.
The Trainees should be required and supervised to carefully analyze
the cases.
For the purpose they must be encouraged to inquire and collect
specific information / data, actively participate in the discussions and
intended solutions of the problem / situation.

Case studies can be implemented in the following ways: -

i. A good quality trade specific documentary ( At least 2-3
documentaries must be arranged by the training institute)
ii. Health &Safety case studies (2 cases regarding safety
and industrial accidents must be arranged by the training
institute)
iii. Field visits( At least one visit to a trade specific major
industry/ site must be arranged by the training institute)

Designing Effective Homework

To achieve a positive impact on student learning, homework assignments must be well-
designed and carefully constructed. Some specific research findings include:
► Homework is most effective when it covers material already taught.
► Homework is most effective when it is used to reinforce skills learned in previous
weeks or months.
► Homework is less effective if it is used to teach complex skills.
Characteristics of Good Assignments
When teachers plan homework, they should consider the characteristics listed below:
► Provide clear instructions for students;
► Can be completed successfully;
► Are not too long;
► Can be completed within a flexible time frame;
► Use information and materials that are readily available;
► Reinforce and allow practice of previously taught skills;
► Must not be unfinished class work;
► Are interesting to students and lead to further exploration and study;
► Stimulate creativity and imagination in the application of skills;
► Stimulate home and class discussion
Homework Don’ts
Do not assign homework that:
► Is unfamiliar, boring or impossible to do
► Requires complex skills or requires unreasonable time frames
► Is a “time filler” to keep students busy or a punishment for not doing class work
► Do not wait until the last minute to organize and assign the homework (You may
give useless or impossible tasks and/or giving inadequate directions)
► Do not assume that all homes have equal resources, that all parents have equal
skills and talents to support their children as learners
► Do not collect any homework you do not intend to check, review or grade.
► Do not assign homework that is so difficult and unfamiliar to students that their
parents are tempted to:
 Do the work for them;
 Accuse their children of being inattentive in class; or
 Accuse their children of failing.
