Edgeucation Next – the Poster Contest on the Future of Technologies in Education Makes a Huge Impact

Rakesh Kumar, a first year Aerospace Engineering student of IIT Madras, won 'EDGEucation Next', the unique and first ever student poster contest conducted by GREedge.com, Online Academy for GRE aspirants.

Rakesh's idea of a personalized learning device revolves around a pair of wearable glasses. Unlike laptops or handhelds, these are totally hands free!!! The device streams various learning content through wireless ports attached to it.  The glasses give the student a view of a 30-inch screen viewed from a distance of 6 to 7 feet. Rakesh conceives of "Learning Huts" at various points on campus or in the city where a student can walk in with these glasses and stream lessons and information that he/she wishes to view. The glasses are charged by a thin solar panel or film that the student can wear on his/her person during the daytime. The device thus intends to give a convenient experience of personalized learning.

Eight other participants were given consolation prizes for their work for excellence in technical idea or teaching methodology.

The contest announced at IIT Madras - Shaastra 2008, the annual student organized technology festival of IIT-Madras saw more than 400 participants from all over India competing with each other in envisioning and designing educational technologies for the future.

"Personalized Learning, considered as one of the Grand Challenges of Engineering for            the twenty first century, is a hot new technology area which will revolutionize the way in which education is delivered to people everywhere. It is rapidly becoming a new field of Engineering.(www.engineeringchallenges.org). We want to spread the excitement and challenge of this field, which is the core technology area for our firm, which is why we thought of this contest" says Yogish Lavanis, a technologist who heads Student Facilitation & Analysis at GREedge.com..

Contest details

 

Participants of the EDGEucation Next contest had to create a poster bringing out their imagination, concept, and design for a futuristic version of personalized education. The theme was one of the following - Books of the Future, Classrooms of the Future or Handheld Learning Devices for the College Student. All the participants were given a problem statement and poster design kit to submit their entries.

Shaastra 2008 saw participation of over 15000 students from across the country. The students participated in many Engineering and Scientific workshops, contests, events and lectures during the five day festival at the IIT-Madras campus in Chennai.

Description

The bad news is, you can't avoid the GMAT torture if you intend to go to graduate business school. Because of the grade inflation that skews GPAs, most graduate business schools now require the GMAT as a way of separating the wheat from the chaff. Now for the good news: By doing well on the GMAT you can overcome years of goofing off in school. A dynamite GMAT score can get you into a graduate program that otherwise wouldn't look twice at you and your C+ GPA. On the other hand, even with a GPA of 4.0 from a top-flight school, you'll be facing some pretty stiff competition, and a high GMAT score could make the difference between being admitted or not. If you're one of the quarter of a million business school hopefuls taking the GMAT this year, you'll want to use this friendly guide to help you outsmart the competition. Written by long-time test prep coach Suzee Vlk, The GMAT For Dummies offers you an enjoyable way to get quickly up to speed with what you need to know to: Fine-tune your test-taking skills Bring the right stuff to the test Psych out the test Spot traps built into test questions Figure out the point behind questions Make the best educated guesses Combat test-taking anxiety Use your breaks wisely Save time and beat the clock The GMAT For Dummies features dozens of practice questions, two complete practice tests, and reviews to help you monitor your progress. And it's loaded with test-taking tips, tricks, and expert advice on how to: Assess your strengths and weaknesses Think "the GMAT way" Approach different types of questions Nail the grammar questions Ace the reading comprehension and critical reasoning questions Shine on the analytical writing assessments Master the general math questions Excel on the data sufficiency math questions This fat-free test prep guide is for bright, ambitious people on the move. It gets you on track with what you need to know and can use on the GMAT quickly, efficiently, and thoroughly.

GMAT scores are an important part of any graduate business-school application, so you need to perform well. Suzee Vlk, long time test-prep specialist and author of several Dummies books, can help. The GMAT for Dummies is packed with useful information and strategies to help you prepare for the test. The book includes advice on how to use the book efficiently (Vlk estimates you'll need 28 hours to work through it), review chapters for all three sections of the exam, and two complete practice exams. Two chapters focusing on the analytical writing assessment portion of the exam will help you write effective essays--and remind you that schools differ regarding the importance of this section. Vlk also offers special advice for "computer illiterates" worried about taking this computer-based exam. In familiar Dummies style, Vlk includes a handy tear-out "Quick Reference Card" with a summary of the most important information and a "Part of Tens" section with "10 Dumb Things You Can Do to Mess Up Your GMAT" and 10 relaxation techniques to use before and during the exam. With its witty writing and helpful icons in the margins pointing out important information, The GMAT for Dummies makes test preparation easy and relatively painless. --C.B. Delaney
