| SCENARIO TARGETED |
| Distributed
Knowledge: Decades ago knowledge was restricted
to certain locations across the globe and this resulted
in “sporadic knowledge.” Now in the
21st century we face a crisis of information overload
and separating the wheat from chaff is essentially
what is required. |
| |
| The educational
system in today’s world: In the face
of exploding population, the educational system
today is radically changing. |
| |
| The definition
of education: In today’s informational
world, the concept of education is not traditional.
Everyone seeks information and in this aspect, everyone
is a student. A farmer may enquire about weather
conditions or advice on crops, or a helpdesk answering
user’s questions related to a particular company
/ product. |
| |
| Difficulties
In The Current Scenario |
| • |
Today there is shortage
of qualified teachers in the face of exploding
population. |
| • |
Students all around
the globe are facing the increasing problem
of Digital-Divide. |
| • |
Lack of quality knowledge
/ information at times of need |
|
| |
| Solution To The
Difficulties With The Current Scenario |
| eduGRID is the
solution to today’s shortage of qualified
teachers in the face of exploding population. |
| |
| eduGRID –
a complete Grid infrastructure as its backbone (“world”)
can be used to gather this disseminated knowledge.
Specialized intelligent tutors (“technology
drives education”) trained using the free
computation cycles (“education is free”)
of the Grid and backed with knowledge of all the
experts and researchers (“interesting and
unifying”) from diversified fields is ready
to answer any question. |
| |
| The intelligent
tutor will be a more effective teaching aid. A project
of zero investment, eduGRID is the solution to today’s
problem of increasing digital-divide. It provides
a facility for students from anywhere in India (or
for that respect, the world) to interact with a
teacher or professor in a different part of the
world |
