Project - Virtual Classroom (Shiksha)
Team Name: Shiksha
Solution Name: Virtual Classroom
 
Current scenario Targeted
Kids’ learning module
a. Lack of kids’ psychology element in the content they are taught in real world classes.
b. This module brings a recreating, playful and interactive learning atmosphere for school going children. The attendees of the lecture watch their super heroes teaching them and interacting with them.
Visual transmission
a. Low bandwidth availability, a bottleneck in last mile reach of video content based e-learning solutions.
b. We have implemented a new audio-visual transmission strategy which is adaptive of the bandwidth available. Audio feed can be sent continuously over a critically low bandwidth.
Dynamic feedback system (DFS)
a. Semantic barrier of virtually zero feedback which defeats purpose of e-learning systems.
b. There will be pre lecture and post lecture tests which will clearly show the change of understanding level of students of the subject by the lecture.
 
i Teacher will get a graphical analysis which will show in which section the class has not performed up to the mark, what is class average and the areas the teacher needs to focus on.
ii Students get graphical analysis of their performances and where in the class they stand. They will also get to know which sections they need to work on.
Abuse control mechanism (ACM)
a. No check on the content being exchanged in class.
b. This web service checks the content being exchanged in class by students. The messages are check with regular expressions for irregular words. If any such word is found in the content, list of the words and final masked content is sent to the teacher for final decision. This module also enables teacher to update the list of the prohibited words.
