Project Description
The Technology team spans all of CLIx, working closely with the Curriculum and Production teams on the education technology used in the curriculum, with the Implementation teams on the infrastructure in schools, with the website team for Communications and outreach and with the Research team to support data acquisition and analysis. Technology plays a supporting role in the active and experiential learning experiences being developed by CLIx.
Satej Shende
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.

Yogesh Bhavsar
Software Developer UI/UX, Centre of Excellence in Teacher Education, TISS
As a Software Developer UI/UX at CLIx, I am responsible for all the CLIx website visuals and display of design the audience actually interacts with. Since the last 4 years I have been working on JavaScript. I am also involved in writing the most basic features to most advance with the chaos of cross-browser war. Learning coding by myself through online resources moved my interest to Edtech. Currently I am working on the React framework.
