The conference program is rich and diverse representing the current state of open education around the world.
Efforts to harness technology for improving school education have gained traction internationally. However, these efforts have been reported to encounter multifarious challenges ranging from poor ICT infrastructure to wicked problems of technology design, implementation models and inadequate teacher capacity building. In resource constrained contexts, these challenges get exacerbated by various other systemic and non-systemic factors. In this presentation, drawing upon our experiences from a large scale technology enabled educational intervention - Connected Learning Initiative (CLIx) – in India, we present and discuss aspects of design, development and deployment of scalable EdTech solutions that provide learning opportunities in low-tech and resource constrained environments.
