An explosion of educational institutes in India has caused a dearth of experienced faculty for teaching. The employability of graduating engineering students is low, owing perhaps to their weak training. To help overcome this problem, an innovative Certificate in Information Technology (CIT) program was started. Through this program, faculty members of engineering colleges are trained who then are...
Video media is an extremely powerful teaching resource for engineering education. It provides near-live experience to the students. Students can understand the concepts very well if teaching is supported by appropriate videos. Creating an educational video is a complex and time consuming task. However, with the availability of various software and hardware platforms it is possible for a teacher to...
This research develops and tests a model to examine the impact of peer-based learning on student outcomes in the context of technology-mediated learning (TML). Using a purposive sampling methodology, a survey was administered to 600 students of secondary schools in India. A sample of 443 complete responses was obtained. Results supported the key hypothesis demonstrating the impact of peer-related...
As education and technology merge, the opportunity for teaching and learning expand even more. However, the juxtaposition of the latest technologies has also raised concern for academic institutions as to which technologies are most effective in terms of cost, reach, richness, and, most importantly, learning. In this paper, we present a novel development framework, which we call as DISCOVIR, for asynchronous...
This research presents a new concept -- Organizational Learning Contracts (OLC). These "contracts" represent shared understandings among faculty, students and staff about what is to be learned and how. OLC can vary from being low in shared understandings and quite general (weak) to very detailed and specific understandings about what is to be learned and the multiple learning environments...
The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning, NPTEL, launched jointly by the Indian Institutes of Technology and the Indian Institute of Science and funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India is an online curriculum development programme in sciences and engineering at university and research levels. Its objectives are: to provide detailed and supplementary...
MCT-LAC - a Math Cognitive Tutor System - consists of a teaching-learning strategy based on "learning by doing", which is enhanced by the use of an interactive software tool that adapts itself to the student's interactions and responses. It is a system in the sense that includes both teaching-learning strategies and an interactive-adaptable technology. The strategy uses both an individual...
The objective of the tutorial is to present a teaching methodology using simulations which works for kinesthetic, intuitive and visual learners and present a learning ability cognizant methodology for self learning integrated with the teaching process using simulations.
Transformative learning approaches have been applied in a diverse range of educational settings, where they have been used to develop an understanding of learners' experiences and learning practices in ways that promote individual and social change. Transformative learning would be an excellent theoretical framework in which to study adult learners' experiences with technology. This article argues...
Technology education is a study of technology, which provides an opportunity for students to learn about the processes and knowledge related to technology. In the field of education, computers have become an important metaphor to denote technology in the classroom. Keeping this in mind, most teacher education institutes in India have introduced a course in Computers in Education, but due to the paucity...
The motivation behind the proposed research work is the need for an innovative e-learning system that can adapt to the learning capability of every individual. Adaptive e-learning systems create new opportunities and at the same time have several research challenges that need to be addressed. The primary requirement of such adaptive systems is the need to create and represent adaptable content effectively...
