The so-called Smart-Class and Smart-Board gadgets have not provided solutions to teachers, because of the complexity of devices, cost, skills required, security, operational issues, power problems, content issues etc., to name a few. First a software approach that is teacher-friendly has to be designed for teachers to create their own content and then a system for teachers to exchange/sell their content is needed. This was done with the funding from Govt of India as an innovator thru VIT Incubation Centre. Then a device at an affordable cost has to be designed and made available to present these contents in a classroom. The above two are combined into an intuitive teaching solution that can operate on a battery, with teachers using a remote to go through the teacher guide or book to teach in a classroom without any need to write/draw many times across classes over a period. The speaker, in the presentation, will share his experience in conceptualizing and executing this project and getting investors to fund.
