TABLETS for education: Is India ready for their adoption?

Abstract

The project is a study on the emerging trend of using tablets as an ICT tool in classrooms with a special focus on educational content availability and impact on performance of students. In the entire story of using tablets as the new-age ICT media to be used in classrooms, two key components are yet understudied: (a) Availability of ready educational content to be consumed on tablets; and (b) a measure of effectiveness of the tablets over the traditional mode of education. This study is aimed primarily at going deep in both these areas. Studying both of these is the key objective of this project. Please refer to the project proposal document for timelines and deliverables.
