Interactive Educational Content

for 5th Grade Mathematics in Gujarati Language (2010)

​

There is a very high drop out rates for students who join Gujarati medium schools in the state. Save the Children in Gujarat was working on bringing the dropouts back to school at the 5th grade level directly. To this effect we were commisioned to develop interactive content , that covers the basic of mathematics up till 5th grade in Gujarat Secondary Education Boards Curriculum. 

​

In 2010 this was an experimental step for the NGO to take as many of the schools lacked computers and related infrastructure. Part of the task included visiting schools in rural areas and understanding how students learn and interact with computers. Also part of the task was to assimilate and synthesise information and insights from educators and content developers in the state and use appropriate vocabulary, audio and visuals to narrate/explain the concept.

​

I did this project before I went on to do masters in New Media Design at NID. In many ways this project made me aware of the amount of sensitivity and skill required to undertake a task like this.
