Objectives
The key course objectives for the students were the following:
1. Understand key concepts in Advanced Analog and Digital Electronics
2. Build circuits to apply concepts
3. Improve problem solving and design skills
4. Build applications to integrate concepts with real life
5. Participate in a student centric learning process
Approach
The course was conducted using simulation based learning methodologies and delivered using the iLearnMore platform of Sparsha. The students learning versions of ilearnMore customized for the course was installed in the simulation labs and every week the students in batches of two worked on modules which were focused on understand, apply and design cognitive skills. 30 students and 3 faculty members participated in the course. The pedagogy aware simulation content was specially prepared by Sparsha and reviewed by faculty of Mount Carmel College. For every module, a student went through the follow steps through iLearnMore.
1. Understand the underlying concept of each topic by following the learning wizard
2. Apply the concept by building the circuit as proposed by the learning wizard
3. Design and generate models for higher order problem solving
4. Take Assessments to test higher order thinking skills
Result
The learning wizard in iLearnMore guided the student through the above steps and the students participated in a real self-learning and discovery process. The entire process of learning was student centric with the teachers as facilitators and helping the students whenever required
At the course completion, Sparsha collected feedback from both students and teachers to measure the outcomes. The results we got were amazing. The students learned and enjoyed at the same time. Most of them believed that the learning material in tool was well structured and helped them understand the concepts better. Teachers felt that the learning methodology helped both average as well as above average students to learn, and they could deliver more value to students without spending extra time
