Folks,
The web server is on its knees as predicted and the entire department is affected. So, I have had to remove the high bandwidth/quality streams off the web area. But they are available in the the CD-ROM set (name-your-price ordering).
I plan to add a lot more material in diverse areas -- electrical engg, CS, mathematics, physics etc. I need to strike a balance between putting valuable free stuff and being voluntarily compensated (using name-your-price ordering of high-quality versions) so that i will have the incentive to put more free stuff.
this is indeed a pilot in open distance education -- i would invite views/comments on how best to balance all these considerations..
