Shikshan: a hybrid framework to augment instructional video

Abstract

This paper proposes a framework to augment offline instructional videos in order to create a comprehensive distance educational platform for use in developing countries. The assumptions underlying the framework are based upon ground realities in a country like India with inadequate educational and Internet infrastructure. However, television sets and cell phones are fast becoming ubiquitous. The framework is based primarily on such devices to provide educators as well as learners with a rich educational solution.
