CommOps Manager: Okay.
Achintyaratna Dh: with
CommOps Manager: Okay. So, I'll log out from my from here and then join from my personal account. Give me one minute and we can start the meeting.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. All right. So, lovers are here. I know we're going to kick off and then start with the course customization. And personally from Vuda side, I'm very excited. Uh so before we proceed with the post customization I just love to introduce our segment and also go through the main mission of why we're having uh the B Buddhist influencer master class and also our main mission and vision behind it. uh kindly possible yourself. I know there are many people in the Google meet today. So it's uh the voice is like yes. All right. Okay. I can still hear some noise.
00:08:32
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. All right. So proceeding with the meeting uh we do have a lot to talk today. Uh first we have to just I mean give like a brief introduction of our main mission and mission and the second point is we have to go through the course customization. How are we going to access it and then we also need to set a timeline about how I mean there are many people in here. So how we can allocate some time to give uh proper notice on the course customization. So before we do begin, I know that many of us has met during the Buddhist creators convention and it's so happy that now we are getting to collaborate together and work on something together and um we have introduced the uh flip classroom model this year and because of that we'll also give like a rundown on how to uh manage everything on sharab. Uh but before that after the uh Buddhist creators convention we realized that even though there were many people who were interested to join the convention but due to any other reason or any unfortunate reason they were not able to join.
00:09:39
Tenzin Palkyi: So we did like receive many feedback saying that it will be really good if in case we can also hold a local master classes just like we did during the convention. So with the belief of that we Buddhists as an organization we believe that dharma should be visibly prominent in the digital space and nowadays there are many many people who are searching for answers uh through the digital media and if in case the dharma is not present there it will be very difficult for Buddhism to survive in the digital space especially when everything is online right now. So when people do access uh on social media or even on like internet space uh they should be able to get authentic and also reasonable uh dharma advices. So what we can do is we can only enhance the skills of uh Buddhist digital content creators. And this is how like the seed of uh Buddhist creators convention also started as well as holding a local uh uh Buddhist influencer class also started. All right. Okay. So going forward with it, I will just showcase the poster that we have recently made.
00:10:50
Tenzin Palkyi: And I know that uh Yoges is here and Rahul has also just joined. So let me go through the poster and also share the program details as well. So this is the poster that we have drafted over here and um for here on the first day uh Mr. Santo she is going to talk about uh niche and then becoming a digital bodhic satwa and since he is from a director background he is go he has really good knowledge on technical aspect and because of that he's going to uh teach about formats and then uh niche as well and then on the second day we have Rahul Dongre and Rahul Dongre is has been very close with us since the Buddhist creators convention and he's not only just a digital content creator uh but is also one of the TEDex speaker which I found on Rahul's LinkedIn and uh Rahul is going to take the class on storytelling and then third we have Yogesh Gi uh Yogesh I got your contact from Dr. Gok which I'm immensely grateful for because I really do uh appreciate how you're not only able to work on technical aspects but al but also like uh be be spiritually align with yourself as well and he is a chief technology officer and he's going to lead the session on AI.
00:12:11

So I'll also send all the details right after the meeting as well with uh all the programs of who will be responsible for what date and but before that uh I'm so glad that Rahul and Yogish were able to make time today and join with us.

Tenzin Palkyi: Thank you. Uh Rahul, are you there? Uh Rahul. Okay. All right. Uh he might be having some problem on his end. Okay. Now we will go forward with how to access the app and then also how to access the course itself. uh I have already um told our three trainers and we have also discussed within our team that this year is going to be like a flip classroom model after the convention since we received feedback that it'll be much better if in case like there are more hands-on training for the uh participants it'll be much better. So this year we decided that if in case like the participants they do study the course from uh before joining the workshop itself it'll be much uh more structured and much more better for them to grasp the knowledge.
00:15:51
Tenzin Palkyi: So because of that uh we h our team at V Bu Buddhist especially at V Buddhist course they have been working immensely hard uh just to make sure that the course is uh fully readily available as well as people can access it. Uh so now I'd like to request our team member Milasu to kindly guide us to how to access the course itself.
Menla Tsomo: Okay, good afternoon everyone. Uh my name is Mano and I'm the project coordinator of Sherup and uh Sherup will be soon rebranded to V Buddhist courses and uh yeah so let me share my screen. Okay. So I'm pretty sure uh all the um participant in the creator convention they are logged in um sherup but uh those who are new what they can do is they can search for sherup and um if they are new to the website what they can do is they can register uh either filling the form or they can directly register using the Google SSO and uh what first off I would like to highlight what is Sherup.
00:17:41
Menla Tsomo: So Sherup is basically uh an e-learning platform uh which is uh made for the long courses for uh the Buddhism courses as well as the language languages. Currently uh most of the language that we are uh teaching in Sher is uh Tibetan and uh as for the language what we are trying to uh do is like we will be in Sher we will be uh considering all the courses uh that uh the language courses that can like uh teach Buddhism and uh Sherup is mainly to uh is a space where they uh a a student can learn, practice and connect and yeah once uh the okay and the other thing that I want to share is how to locate the course uh you can directly search for the course by uh setting over here or what you can do is uh you can this is the schools and partner that we are uh currently uh working with and um you Then uh click onto the Buddhist creators um page and once you uh go inside the uh the Buddhist creator partner page you will be able to see this course uh which is we Buddhist influencer master class.
00:19:14
Menla Tsomo: So uh currently uh the environment that I'm showing you uh the sherup platform is the um production environment but we are currently updating or tailoring the core course into the staging environment. So I will pull up this staging environment and show uh guide you uh guide you through how to purchase the course. So previously our course was uh named as the marketing the dharma but uh now in the production environment ment we have named it to the um influence influence reb Buddhist influencer master class. So uh how you can do is uh once you click onto the course you will see a similar page where you uh have to click onto the buy course. Once you click over here, it will redirect you to the shared edu store and uh to uh buy the course, what you can do is you can add it to cart. I have since I have already add it to cart, I can't do it twice. Um yeah, see uh it is already in the cart. So what I can do is I can check out the course.
00:20:50
Menla Tsomo: And when you are checking out the course, the important thing is over here you have to fill in all the details. Yeah. And uh for the most important part is for the email address you have to use the mail uh address that you had used uh to log in the shareup. Uh I will repeat it again. For the email address, you can't just use a random email ID. You have to log in uh you have to register the email id of the share and then once that is done what you can do is for the billing address you have to fill in all the details and uh once that is done uh you don't have to uh click over here instead what you can do is you can add in the over here you will see a slots uh called add the coupons right so uh we will be adding a coupon code for the new course.

So uh the structure will be first we have the video underneath that we will have a text component or the explanation um and then followed by the quizzes the quizzes and then uh once that is done uh so uh this syntax of the course will be a video component, a text component which is an explanation followed by the quiz and then within each section once uh the entire section is completed there will be a graded test.
00:24:41
Menla Tsomo: So the quiz underneath the unit is not graded but we will have a separate graded uh test section separately. So over here you can uh try out the quiz and then these uh uh quizzes carries mark max marks. Yep. Uh that's it. Keep with any distortion or energy.
Tenzin Palkyi: All right. Uh okay.

So yes and then for the course customizations andizations I just um we have uh we have discussions later before and then I just will want to request the part to begin about the course customization and guidelines. Thank you.
Tenzin Palkyi: Sure sir. Uh thank you so much Leila. So so far we have covered about how uh the course has come and then also how to access the course as well. Now we will speak on the personalization and how are we going to do it. And before we do it uh now that we're going to collaborate with many more organization we want to make sure like with every course that they do uh customize with there are a few guidelines that each of those organization have to follow.
00:31:06
Tenzin Palkyi: So I'll just I know everyone's not too fond about guidelines but it's just quite mandatory for everyone. So I'll just quickly go through it. Okay. I hope my screen is visible.
Thrinley Dorje: Yes.
Tenzin Palkyi: Okay. Perfect. Okay.
Thrinley Dorje: Yes.
Tenzin Palkyi: So we Buddhist influencer master class a shared framework for V Buddhist and tree ratna collaboration. And when uh in sharup app it will later show as us Buddhist influencer masterclass tree ratna edition since uh tree ratna is the organization that we are collaborating with and then I have written from our team we have pelki yash anchel and then course team we have chila nurella milala and then three ratna partner we have five community members that I've received from Dr. G work uh Dr. G work uh dishta shan gi uh gamawatra gi Dr. from the Praab and then Santo Sakant who is also one of our trainer. Uh so when it comes to um image customization or personalization uh we Buddhist course team uh so I have written two overall organization like uh roles and responsibilities.
00:32:16
Tenzin Palkyi: So our team will be responsible for reviewing and uploading all the finalized images that we have received uh or we will receive from three ratna. Uh first we will do like a detailed presentation on how to access the influencer master class on VUD's course which Mila Milala have described along with a step-by-step video tutorial and will be shared to confirm everyone has a clear understanding of the access process that we will send after the meeting and then we have written that use AI generated imagery only when necessary and in moderation just to give priority given to authentic photographs and original visuals. Uh so one thing that I'll really like to uh encourage is if in case we can u uh push for more uh authentic and then uh videos uh and photographs that were taken by people itself because when we try to push too many uh AI uh videos uh sometimes like people also judge us on the authenticity of the course itself and then just to make sure that all images to avoid political and sensitive content before use and we have to verify all visual contents maint maintain the professional and dharma align tone of the masterclass throughout and then finally the team has to carry out a final quality check on the resolution format and branding consistency before we upload it to the platform.
00:33:36
Tenzin Palkyi: Now this is our role from the V Buddhist side and now coming to the tree ratner side we really really do appreciate the team's contribution into bringing local and authentic imagery to the course. I remember when I first had the conversation with Dr. Giwak I personally requested Dr. Jw that it'll be really good if in case like we can show uh Pune community and then uh Amilkar writes uh this thing uh Buddhist to showcase uh in the uh in in the examples that we were create we were showing in the course itself and he was very um he was very good and then uh he really do um appreciated this thought. So just to help us move through the review process just we have to keep this following in mind when we are sourcing and submitting images. We have to use only original photography created by the tree rana team or just any properly licensed images so that we can avoid using uncredited photographs sourced from the internet and then of course please include a brief note on the source or photographer credit for every image submitted to maintain proper documentation.
00:34:45
Tenzin Palkyi: So if in case like we're going to have many people access the course uh I don't think I think it will be like a legal problem later on if in case we start using uncredited photo or also use examples uh of other people as well and avoid using imagery that includes political symbols and sensitive social topics. I know that nowadays people uh we have to be very careful about what we put especially when it is political related. So it doesn't mean that we don't have to include everything just just to be very political aware and then also be careful about including any sensitive social topics and then use AI generated imagery only when necessary and in moderation as well and this is kind of like uh prioritize real life photography of the community uh practitioners monastics events and everyday dharma moments as well. I know that tree ratnite host lots of retreat. So if in case you want to give examples of like a really good yoga practitioners who has a strong uh social media presence, they can also do that as well with a uh with receiving uh credit from that person.
00:35:52
Tenzin Palkyi: And this is uh this is one of those personal requests. Uh so uh all files might uh must meet the 300 DBI requirement for highquality display digital display and also follow the dimension and format specification in Buddhist influencer masterclass. I know that after this uh me uh after my presentation I know that uh Norcilla from our team is going to talk about uh how to find those formats and also like the certain workflow that you guys uh should follow. So and also like if in case like you guys do follow uh submit those photos it should be high quality or else like it will be a lot of difficulty to uh showcase it properly. and also be visually appealing uh on the course itself. So this is it and I'll also send you this detail right after the meeting itself. All right sir. Thank you so much. Uh Narcila can you please continue on the workflow and I think we have covered all our agenda
Norbu Tsering: Okay, this is the final one. Good evening.
00:36:52
Norbu Tsering: Uh, good afternoon. Sorry,
Tenzin Palkyi: today.
Norbu Tsering: not evening, afternoon everyone. So, warm welcome to all the facilitator entry personalization team and my name is Li and I work with course customization team in V Buddhist under VUDS course. So, yeah, today I will briefly explain you guys about the image personalization workflow which is very very important I feel like. So let me you guys can see my screen right and okay
Yash Dixit: Yes, visible.
Norbu Tsering: great. So first um yeah workflow and how collaboration between like we do this course team particularly for course team and uh personalization team from tree right now you know for the coming week. So as officially scheduled the image personalization process will begin on uh Monday like 18th May which is confirmed and final submission including like upload feedback revision everything need to be done by 25th May. So yeah this is it now I will uh make a quick who is doing what since Pigilla has clearly explained it all. I'll give the important part only. So we Buddhist team will provide you the direction of all the necessary materials include like unit list, Google sheet and also how to access and everything.
00:38:15
Norbu Tsering: Yeah, share drive also which is very important where you guys need to upload all those things and tree personalization team I think uh consisting of five member if I'm not wrong will mainly focus on image creation. Let me repeat you again. Personalization will mainly focus on image creation only generating the image. Your responsibility will be uh carefully review with assigned course only unit. We we will provide you in Google sheet and understand the material thoroughly and generate professional and well-mandated image that fits the meaning of terms of the content. So most important part over here I've told you I'm repeating again that uh s uh the suggested unit list and image quantity are not only uh uh only starting point so it is not compulsory for everyone following that it is not compulsory we will provide you the list of Google sheet about where to you know which unit you are allowed to generate image but it is not compulsory. Yeah. And secondly after that and creativity wise there are flexibility for you guys the personalization team.
00:39:26
Norbu Tsering: Um now let me explain the workflow which is very important. So I think uh step one this is the workflow we going to uh follow. So step one is a brief sharing stage. The course team will share course access uh give you the access and Google share drive link also and Google sheet which includes units and suggested image quantities which is very important. First we will share you this. We did almost 90% of this. Step two is like material reward. This is mainly for the personalization team. We really want you guys to go through the course. You know we we'll carefully study this personalization. will carefully study and assign unit that Google should be going in the course content and please remember that your focus is only on the image section of the course. So which is very important. So for that personalization team really need to go through the our share up which is demo. Step three is image creation. Obviously you will get to know the quantity of number you need to generate.
00:40:29
Norbu Tsering: So step two image creation image should match the meaning emotional tone and acquired format which is following guidelines and also the step four step four will be like upload and label. We will share you the share drive link for that uh share drive will be according to the part one 2 3 which is day one two to six. So as per this you can upload all the images. Then finally the step five will be review and revise. As the C course team will review and uh the uploaded work provided feedback and revision will be made together as continuous workflow. Within this we will track also within this we will track all the workflow also and also we will go through the feedback revision. So by then by 25th we will be completing everything. So and just to let you know Tela which he already introduced you guys will be the point of contact. He is our we Buddhist influencer course coordinator. He will be the uh main point of contact for the any personalization team need any help or any doubt he will be the point of contact.
00:41:37
Norbu Tsering: Now there are two within this image personalization tip there are two rules which is very important. I want to uh you know uh introduce you all carefully you know follow. First one is match the dimension which is very especially I'm talking to personalization tips since they are generating image first rule is matching the correct some unit requires let's say this is one unit this is one unit I have extracted from the niche part so if you look at this there are different image right size wise I'm talking about dimension size so this is responsible for you know before generating any image it is always important for personalization to you go through the layout requirement properly and incorrect because this will help us slow down an entire workflow pipeline if you guys do not go for. So I want personalization team to go through the niche or whatever the unit we have provide assigned and as per the dimension please generate the image. This is the first one rule that matter most second last one which is labeling the image before uploading correctly.
00:42:45
Norbu Tsering: So whenever you upload an image please rename the file. Renaming is very important that would not you know confuse us because we are uploading in the e platform. So unit name should be very properly. So first while you let's say this is the image right. So this is the Google sheet we will be providing you the assign unit. So this image under let's say this is niche image. So first write with the name of the unit niche plus and if there is in the niche there is a quantity number like three picture need to be uploaded then niche one niche two niche if it is not then niche only plus I we need the photo credit name let's say over here you can see right niche New York Times so this is the labeling which is very important we need to give the asal credit is very important then only uh I want you guys to upload it these two are very important So I think this is the final one. Uh we have exactly one week uh together for this workflow uh course team and personalization team.
00:43:51
Norbu Tsering: So work officially begin at Monday. So 18 and by 25th all the upload need to be done re even the revision all need to be done by this week. So all I want to you guys to know that for particularly for the personalization team is that before Monday since we still got weekend right I want personalization team to go through the course thoroughly especially the assigned unit and by Monday so that personalization team could you know officially follow generating all the image yeah this is it from all those things and yeah I don't have anything to share and just to let just let to know the personality is responsible only the image related work and course materials you are reviewing you know our demo version which is staging environment we is we are still in process of building more interactive course and all those things yeah I think I have covered most of it if anything any question need to be done you can follow up with this one thank you so much yeah that's it from
Tenzin Palkyi: All right. Okay.
00:45:04
Tenzin Palkyi: Thank you so much. I think we covered almost everything. How to access the course and then also like the guidelines and most importantly how to uh upload those course and then uh upload those images and then the proper workflow. So I just have to say that uh all this image customization it's not mandatory. It's just that we believe that uh since we are hosting vitria uh and uh we personally we are not from that background itself and we do not represent the community and we want the course uh to represent the community properly. So because of that we are reaching out for this course customization and yes so after the meeting we'll share you all the details uh especially like with the screen recorded video on how to access the course and also on the documentation part with how to do that just uh and also I think it'll be really good if in case we can also forward you the PPT that Jonor have just gone through and yes if in case anyone has any questions just please let us know.
00:46:08
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes. Yes. Yogish.
Yogesh Dipankar: Yeah. Hi. So, first of all, I mean, uh, very impressive work. Uh, very well structured. I mean, the total is looks very professional. So, kudos to the team for putting this together. And I could also see the kind of research uh that has been done. uh I think all the leading uh platforms like Corsera, LinkedIn uh and others that were named has been researched and the course is very well structured. So I think this is very nice first step. uh the the other question or basically the question that I had was around the quiz and what what I understood is like this this course will be made available to the participants uh before the session and they will be taking this quiz and they will be uh you know completing this quiz and based on the score uh there would be a certain passing score and people who complete the or reach that particular score will be you know invited for the inerson training right is that a right understanding okay
00:47:22
Norbu Tsering: Yes. Yes. This.
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes. Yogi. Yes.
Yogesh Dipankar: great and uh regarding uh image customization or image personal personalization I think the both the aspects like it is only let's say when the course is published we go through the course uh when I say we basically all the three trainers would go through the course and then maybe also few of the members from community will also go through the course and they feel that okay a particular image uh has to be reconstructed uh and that's when we will you know uh you know do the image customization as well as personalization otherwise whatever is the course content that can be used as is that a fair understanding okay okay
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes, you you perfectly got it on.
Yogesh Dipankar: So yeah and and one question is what is the duration in ter
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes.
Yogesh Dipankar: in number of hours of this particular course it is a self-paced course which I understand but still what is the duration because I think it is in a we still have two months right uh to go if we count it from say today and if you are publishing it to all the participants in next couple of days then they get the one month of time to complete the course and submit uh the quiz.
00:48:42
Yogesh Dipankar: So I just want to understand that is the time sufficient to take this course complete the quiz because I'm not sure who is the audience but the audience might be also doing their day job and maybe few of them are students few of them are retired I don't know the audience but maybe based on the audience we can understand what is the pace of the session and yeah so that's the question and I also want to understand that all these courses would be in English.
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes. Okay. Okay. Uh coming to the first point with the quiz. Uh yes it will be merit based and uh we have also made this function where we are able to understand or also able to reach out to those students who are able to finish the course uh uh first we'll do like a first come first model like a merit base. So we will launch the course on 1st of June and we will keep it till like 1 month 31st of June and during that one month we will get access on uh who is uh who are the students who are finishing this at the fastest level and after this uh we will also after they pass those course we'll also like from our team we will reach out to those student just to make sure that they have like the right motive and then mission to come to the workshop and only then we'll get we'll short list them and then
00:50:07
Tenzin Palkyi: get them selected for the course it uh for the master class itself. So this is how we are going to do it and then personally for me earlier um it took me like 3 days to complete the course. So uh but then I spent I think I spent like at least 2 hours every day to finish the course and then I went through the whole course itself. But for a student I feel like they can easily if in case someone do spend it like even like 1 hour per day they will be able to finish it in like 10 days. And the quizzes I know they have graded and ungraded uh not too difficult one as well. So if in case someone really do follow the course itself they will be able to pass it. Yes. And uh Yogish I would also like to I mean of course the course is readily available now for everyone to access it. Uh so after this we'll give you like the right how to access it as well and since Yogesh and then Santoshi is also like a member of tree ratna I think it'll be really good for you to follow the course and of course for you to assist tree ratna members as well so that will be very much helpful for them I guess.
00:51:15
Tenzin Palkyi: Yes. All right. Uh did I cover all the questions?
Yogesh Dipankar: I can see
Tenzin Palkyi: Uh uh Tila or Mila Jon please add anything if I missed anything
Thrinley Dorje: I guess um I just I just want to request the uh personalization team to you know just um uh keep updating us before Monday begins because we will be started working from the mon next Monday the coming Monday. Uh so we just have uh one week and then okay so in every two days um I will be contacting um personalization team about the feedbacks and trade so through that we can just uh finish our customiz personalizations in a week.
Menla Tsomo: uh yep uh I'm sorry together if you are going to say something please

Rahul Dongre (Believepreneur): Yeah.
Tenzin Palkyi: with tree ratna and earlier we were focusing on 100 participants but now uh since we are going to have it in sadhama prahi gria and uh doing monsoon season it'll be quite difficult for the India and uh just for because of this reason we have decided to only host 60 participant and we are really trying to push on the quality rather than the quantity we are really trying to push on the quality of those people and uh we really believe that if in case like we can push for a smaller number uh we can focus more on each of the participant. So this is uh this information that I want to give and after the cost uh customization itself uh we'll be fully focusing and working along with the trainers. I know that uh I haven't been able to message everyone properly uh with all the right information but after the customization itself all the schedule and all the time will be with the trainers itself.
