Starting with a new Learning management system which will be deployed in newly built high-tech labs in 6,000 government schools to improve the quality of learning for 90 lakh students, IIT-Madras researchers and Nadus department of schooleducationhave joined hands to make digital assessments and learning experience of school students better.
The collaboration between the IIT andTamil Nadu governmentis to provide a richer learning experience to the school students by improvising and updating the existing digital learning platform to an assessment focused learning management system.
Currently, the classroom Education of Tamil Nadus school students is supplemented through a digital learning platform i.e.Education Management Information System. IIT-M researchers will use their AI and data science expertise to come up with ways to improve the way assessments are conducted and framework for dissemination of educational material.
This initiative will be led by faculty, students, project associates and channel partners of the Robert Bosch Centre of Data Science and AI (RBCDSAI), a centre housed at the IIT with a vision to expand and further the research, education and outreach activities in the areas of data science andartificial intelligence.
The initiative will be executed in three phases first will focus on content management for educational material and assessment, second will work towards on delivery and feedback for educational material and assessment and the third phase will lay emphasis on data Analytics, Dashboards and Reporting system.
