  1. Sridhar Iyer Professor, Dept. of Computer Science and Engg Head, Educational Technology and CDEEP Indian Institute of Technology Bombay Technology for Education

  2. Existing & emerging technologies: A spectrum • Information and communication technologies • Display and user interface • Computational technologies • Internet technologies • AI based technologies • Simulation and modelling tools Technology Roadmap Education, Technology Vision 2035, TIFAC

  3. Existing & emerging technologies: Examples Animations Simulations Games 3D printing Augmented Reality Virtual worlds Multi-touch interface Context aware technologies Learning analytics Adaptation & personalization Natural language recognition Wearable technologies Gesture recognition Mobile apps MOOCs

  4. My Journey in EdTech area – 1999 - 2009 • Distance Education Program: Teaching, Applied networking research • Timbaktu Wireless: Field work, Project based learning • OSCAR: Interactive visualizations repository, EdTech research • Computer Masti: Teaching computers in schools, Industry connect

  5. Distance Education Program • Started in 2000 • Network of remote centers • Grew into larger programs - CDEEP, T10KT, IITBombayX • ~100 courses and workshops • ~150K teachers trained • Mtech projects

  6. Timbaktu Wireless Timbaktu-Wireless problem • Play 1 minute of the video - 3:45 to 4:45. What did the students learn?

  7. OSCAR ~300 interactive visualizations, at school and college levels Released in Creative Commons licence ~50K downloads PhD research theses

  8. Computer Masti 2007 - Curriculum for teaching Computers in schools Writing of Books – Grades 1-8 ~100K downloads 2009 - company – InOpen 2016 – Acquired by NextEducation Used by ~1000 schools in India

  9. Key learnings It is not sufficient for us to simply adopt technologies and methods being used elsewhere; We need to train researchers to create educational technologies that are suitable for our local contexts. We need to empower teachers to adapt technologies for their students’ needs.

  10. My Journey in EdTech area – 2010 - 2019

  11. Educational Technology, IIT Bombay • Inter-Disciplinary Program, started 2010 • 5 Core faculty • Associate faculty from other departments • 25 PhD research Scholars; 12 PhDs graduated • Starting an M.Tech program in 2019 • Includes 2 months internship/field work

  12. What is Educational Technology? Technology of Education Creation and use of Teaching-Learning strategies for student learning and engagement • Use of Peer Discussion Focus is on “What to do” with/without technology Adaptive and Personalized Tutoring Systems Virtual Reality Augmented Pedagogy & Technology for individual and collaborative learning Makerspace MOOCs Games Learning environments Assessment Eye Tracking Analytics

  13. What do we do? – At a glance • Research: • TELoTS: Technology enhanced learning of thinking skills • TUET: Teacher use of educational technologies • EDA: Educational data analytics • EmergE: Emerging technologies • Development: • MOOCs: Massive open online courses – IITBombayX • Trained 5000+ college teachers, 5000+ school teachers • Handbooks: Resources for ET researchers and teachers • RMET, LOBE, … • Tools: To support teaching-learning process • iQuE, iSAT, CuVIS, … Consultancy Outreach Sponsored Projects Sponsored Research Labs

  14. Research Area - TELoTS Design Thinking, Engg Estimation, Troubleshooting, … • Integration with Domain Concepts Thinking Skills Pedagogy and Learning Environments

  15. TELoTS example – Engg Estimation • Play Mettle video • First 10 seconds and • last 10 seconds • PhD Theses

  16. TELoTS Summary Model: LePAThS TELoTS Simulative manipulations, personalized feedback Learning environments

  17. Research Area – Teacher Use of Ed Tech

  18. TUET example • Zoom adjoining infographic! • PhD theses

  19. TUET Summary Learner Centric MOOC model TUET Analytics Learning environments

  20. Research Area - Exploring Emerging Technologies Goal: Explore emerging tech to identify pedagogical usefulness, recommendations for best practice. StereoChem

  21. Research Area – Educational Data Analytics Cognition Personalized and Adaptive Feedback Metacognition Learner/User Model Motivation Affective States Attention

  22. Key learnings • Strong pedagogy + meaningful technology • trumps • Sophisticated technology + mediocre pedagogy

  23. Development work - Handbooks

  24. Development work - Tools • Emerging from PhD Theses • iSAT • CuVIS • iQuE

  25. Outreach • Training workshops • Mentoring workshops • Strong Alumni participation • Conferences

  26. T4E conference – Technology for Education TENTH IEEE CONFERENCE ON TECHNOLOGY FOR EDUCATION (T4E) 2019 Dec 9 - 11, 2019, Goa, India http://t4e2019.unigoa.ac.in Paper submission deadline - July 18th Themes: Pedagogical Strategies and Interventions for Technology-Enhanced Learning Technologies to Improve Access to Education Development of Technologies to Support Education

  27. Upcoming MOOC

  28. Summary: What are our students trained in? • Theories of learning and pedagogy • Design and evaluation of learning environments that effectively integrate pedagogy and technology, including face-to-face and online/remote settings • Research methodologies, application of statistical methods, multimodal and mixed-method data analysis • Work collaboratively on complex interdisciplinary projects • Good fit for: Learning & Development roles; Training-related products; Research & Evaluation of socio-technology projects

  29. Other EdTech related projects at IIT Bombay • National Mission projects (MHRD) • NPTEL • IITBombayX • Spoken Tutorial • Virtual Labs • eYantra • Centers • Center for Distance Engineering Education Programmes • Parimaland PramodChaudhari Center for Learning and Teaching

  30. Key learnings In education, the scaling problem is not solved by taking a generalized solution to all, but by: • innovating a large number of varied local solutions and making them available to all, and (ii) empowering local adaptation and contextualization of these solutions, through technological facilitation and pedagogical training.
