Creation of a technology enabled social learning ecosystem was started as an experiment in 2014 at the BMS College of Engineering, in partnership with WIKSATE. This platform available to the students for use anytime, anywhere, in any smart device, enabled them to connect and share with their peers 24x7, and learn as they interact even while on the move. The implementation of the platform was expanded gradually over the years to support all the departments and courses. This platform is now available to the entire college. With over 3500 students actively engaged in supplementing their formal education with social learning, the BMS College of Engineering is now the largest social learning ecosystem in India. The WIKSATE platform provides the students at the BMS College of Engineering, a powerful interaction engine to connect and share their learnings with their co-learners in a knowledge network. Further, this platform provides real-time data to faculty which give insight into student preferences and engagement and help plan continuous improvements in the course delivery and outcome. It also helps promoting a culture of openness and moderated learning providing a vital bridge to close the gap between educators and students. The results from the social learning analytics show that students have a natural motivation and inquisitiveness to get involved in interactions when empowered by a mobile centric ubiquitous access to knowledge networks. The results also show a steady growth of student interactions at all levels after their induction into the ecosystem.

The main bottleneck faced by the industry and public sector is the adoption of outdated technology and stagnant approach leading to inefficient system. In Indian scenario this gap is evident more due to self-cantered approach and easy going attitude. Moreover mushrooming colleges and lack of application oriented approach leads to situation where researchers are more concerned of their completion on paper rather than practical implementation of the same thereby creating a situation for technological adavancement taking back seat. Various models are in place to bridge the gap and are at par with the prevailing world standards but attitude and lack of application oriented approach has led to situation of not achieving desired results. Further the quick turnaround requirement of industry in cost effective manner is also hampering the effective coordination between the two important pillars of the nation. This article will dwell upon the present scenario, analysis of the causes with suggestive methodology for yielding better outcome in Indian scenario.

CDF (Concept-Definition-Formula), IPO (Input-Processing-Output), MVC (Model-View-Control) and DIKD (Data-Information-Knowledge-Decision) are some of the fundamental learning patterns exhibited by Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This paper analyzes the effectiveness of these learning patterns exhibited and exercised by GIS in different forms. Further, the correlation of these patterns is examined with various examples to establish the collaborative nature of GIS. Preliminary investigation of these patterns has revealed a strong correlation among the spatio-temporal science, engineering, technology and application perspectives of GIS. These correlations are further analyzed to derive the collaborative nature of GIS as a multi-disciplinary educational platform.

Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) supplement traditional learning by providing personalized instruction. Predicting student performance in formative and summative assessments can help educators and parents determine suitable learning interventions. In this article, interaction log data from three south Indian schools using Amrita Learning ITS were gathered and analyzed. We investigated the extent to which information from the system improves the prediction of students' performance on both formative and summative assessments. Results indicated that prediction improves significantly for both formative and summative assessments when compared to models that only use pretest information.

Education is the first step to explore the world through knowledge. In an endeavor to make the learning process more engaging through mobile platforms which perhaps attract the students and help them to gain knowledge with interest. Efforts have been done to make the process of online tests and information delivery to the students, yet there is a gap in knowledge transfer between teachers and students. Here we have proposed a platform that utilizes the combination of biometric scanners, speech to text conversion techniques and image processing techniques to make the process of learning effective, interesting, and collaborative. We have added a tool that uses today's modern mobile technology to take attendance and reduce the wastage of valuable time in the class. Also we developed a tool, called Smart notes that have ability to reduce the burden of taking notes on students and worry about the knowledge gap between sections of the same campus. To reach out to every student we have found that the Instant Chatting tool introduced will be helpful to clear all the doubts. This tool can be used to for group discussions and to perform group activities. Hence the platform introduced integrated with three tools provides an excellent quality of education to fulfill every students need in comparison to the existing methods.
