Project Description
The new media of connected digital devices allows us to go beyond the classic blackboard sharing paradigm and enables making and communication in a digital collaborative environment. Keeping this design in mind, Invitation to CLIx (i2C) provides learners with operational skills of the new media. i2C is the first CLIx offering, where we invite learners to an exemplary connected learning experience on a specially designed course Platform. The Platform is the social space where collaborative interactions happen. i2C prepares learners for conceptual and investigative engagements in Science, Mathematics and English Communication.

Technology Manager, Centre of Excellence in Teacher Education, TISS
I contribute to and coordinate curriculum development and on- field training activities for FTs, teachers and students. I help develop and test the i2C course platform and school server and deploying these in school labs by coordinating with and supporting field technologists. As a part of Gnowledge Lab, HBCSE, I am exploring the value of open source technology for education and its use in achieving learning competencies. I also develop learning studio images, which are customised Linux OS images containing educational applications. I strongly believe that the education process should evolve with time and that technology will play a great role in it.
