We present a web-based environment along with an interactive interface for VLSI schematic design, simulation, and layout design. It consist of 10 experiments starting from transistor level design of inverter, then some basic gates such as NAND, NOR, XOR etc, finally design of D latch and flip flop. In each experiment student will learn how to design VLSI circuits both schematic and layout. It also...
Supporting teachers' interaction with instructional materials, while developing curricular, subject matter and pedagogical knowledge are major goals of professional development programs world-wide. Mobile Gurukul project focuses on supporting teachers' professional development in the rural areas, especially in the rural of areas India. We address their intellectual isolation using ubiquitous technology...
The Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT) program follows a unique "learning by doing" methodology, woven around a project-centric curriculum. Project assignments carry real life flavor which are typically task-based, requiring application of specific knowledge and skills that are delivered to the learners, "just-in-time," through the learning management system. The...
Both undergraduate and graduate courses are experiencing a migration away from the traditional classroom and toward a greater emphasis for electronic delivery of content. This trend cuts across all departments and schools in the university system. In this study, perspective of students from business schools, towards expectations and satisfaction from information and communication technologies usage,...
Developing instructional materials to be used by e-learning systems is time consuming task. Systems -- especially those which do personalized lesson generation -- require the author to precisely follow a predefined pedagogic model while developing content. Careful coordination is required between contributors to ensure consistency and to prevent duplication of efforts. This slows down content development...
Over the past few years, learning object (LO) repositories have become valuable educational resources in a variety of instructional settings. However, there is a lack of detailed documentation about the actual process to be adopted under different conditions to create such a repository. The commonly established process adopts a synchronous model in which there is continuous face-to-face communication...
Visually impaired people, in order to understand printed or hand written media, need the material to be present in Braille. They also require an understanding of the Braille language. The proposed system instead uses other senses that visually challenged person possesses, such as the ability to listen and convert the textual material into an audio stream. This concept starts with the capturing of...
This paper confines itself mainly to the pedagogic aspects of degree level Engineering Education. However, many of the concepts are equally applicable to Higher Education. The central theme of this paper is that, many of the ills of the current teacher-centric education system can be effectively addressed, if we are able to shift the emphasis from teaching to learning. A very important first step...
Smart e-Learning environments are no more novice but have become the order-of-the-day, with the strengths gained and exhibited by the recent technologies. Also, personalization is the current norm with each learner customizing his/her own Learning environments, not only on his interests but also to his tastes. Personalization of the e-Learning environments for the 'Cognitively Disabled' is still to...
A number of international initiatives, such as the leading initiative of Open Educational Resources (OER) movement, have recognized the potential value of sharing and reusing digital resources among educational communities. As a result, organizing, managing, offering and accessing these resources over the web have been key issues for both the research and the educational community. Within this context,...
This paper discusses a product called On- lineTT (Test Tutorial) that attempts to address the dispar- ity in access to good education in India by addressing the low pass percentages in the grade ten Board examinations in rural India. This paper covers the lessons learnt in deploying this product from 2006 to 2008 in rural India. The current work on OnlineTT to incorporate additional features in an...
