Introduction :
It has been a long felt necessity to align higher education with the emerging
Government of India had issued an Executive Order in September 2011 for
National Vocational Education Qualification Framework (NVEQF).
Subsequently, Ministry of Finance, in pursuance of the decision of Cabinet
Committee on Skill Development in its meeting held on 19th December, 2013,
has issued a notification for National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF)
which supersedes NVEQF. Under the National Skills Development Corporation,
many Sector Skill C ouncils representing respective industries have/are being
established. One of the mandates of Sector Skill Councils is to develop National
Occupational Standards (NOSs) for various job roles in their respective
industries. It is important to embed the comp etencies required for specific job
roles in the higher education system for creating employable graduates. The
University Grants Commission (UGC) has launched a scheme on skills
development based higher education as part of college/university education,
leading to Bachelor of Vocation (B. Voc.) Degree with multiple exits such as
Diploma/Advanced Diploma under the NSQF. The B. Voc. Programme is focused
on universities and colleges providing undergraduate studies which would also
incorporate specific job rol es and their NOSs alongwith broad based general
education. This would enable the graduates completing B. Voc. to make a
meaningful participation in accelerating India’s economy by gaining
appropriate employment, becoming entrepreneurs and creating appropri ate
knowledge.

PAPER 2.2 - NEW MEDIA
Most technologies described as "new media" are digital, often having
characteristics of being manipulated, networkable, dense, compressible, and
interactive. New media directly does not include television programs (only
analog broadcast), feature films, ma gazines, books, or paper - based
publications – unless they contain technologies that enable digital
interactivity. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, is an example, combining
Internet accessible digital text, images and video with web -links, creative
parti cipation of contributors, interactive feedback of users and formation of
a participant community of editors and donors for the benefit of
noncommunity readers. Facebook, Twitter is an example of the social media
model, in which most users are also particip ants.

PAPER 2.4 - STORYBOARDING IDEAS:
Storyboarding is, in many respects, the most important stage of
film/television production. It is where the script is transformed from words
on a computer screen into a sequential, visual story. It is where concepts of
cinematography, stage -setting, blocki ng and acting are first realized. It will
explore the basic concepts of storyboarding and allow participants to create
and review storyboards of their own. Concepts addressed will include: tools,
methods and techniques, visual storytelling and narrative st ructure, shot
composition, “acting,” and character development, among others.
