The Problem No seamless connection
amongst
Computer-Based Training Packages - access to only theory
Data-logging units - no access to theory
Lab equipment
The Problem

NIIT IWALT 2000 3
The Solution Integrate lessons, data loggers
and lab equipment
Computer-Integrated Experimentation
NIIT IWALT 2000 4
Advantages Approach allows designing
teaching units that place the child in the role of a scientist
Eliminates delay between theory and practice
Teaching unit takes on the role of a guide
Enables topics to be introduced to a younger age group
NIIT IWALT 2000 5
Lesson Design
Observe phenomenon usingthe Sensor-enabled system
Postulate appropriateLaw/Hypothesis
Do more experiments toverify/validate proposed
Law/Hypothesis
Is Law/Hypothesispostulated correct?
Refer to CurrentTheory
NoYes

Learnings Performance does not seem be
affected by background gender previous experience exposure to computers
Transferred learning mass seems high
NIIT IWALT 2000 14
Learnings Quick creation of lessons
possible Can be integrated with non-
formal curricula Computer will have to be placed
in the lab or vice versa New methodology for lesson
design
NIIT IWALT 2000 15
Future Lessons designed by
children/teachers New experiments conceived by
children New instruments conceived by
children
