Problem: 287 million learners spread across 22 Indian languages, who can speak the language but cannot read or write. Thousands of physical primers (instructional material) developed under the aegis of National Literacy Mission.How to design educational technologies for such a scale and variety without losing focus on quality of instruction?
Can we make teaching/learning interesting? Can gamification help? The focus of this project is to design games for different domains like software egnienering, programming, data structures and so on to make learning fun from the ouside and facilitate reasoning ability at the backend by basing our design on commonly established instructional design models. We are also keen to explore emerging trends like augumented reality, touch and other ways to facilitate better learning experience
This upcoming project focuses on understanding the current ways of teaching "first course on programming" in IITs as a first step to design a curriculum for computing in India
