Co-designing Education 4.0 in the Indian context

With advent of Industry 4.0, the traditional education system in Indian context needs re-evaluation. Industry 4.0 is important to Indian government and their initiative to build aptitude is ongoing. The learning needs of various students should be part of inclusive teaching and learning practice, which is again of importance to India’s national policies being implemented. The most important aspect of such education is the industry readiness of students. While building such capability of students, it is important for institutions to remain at par with international quality assurance standards. This directly informs the pedagogical approaches to be implemented, the teacher training required, the institutional readiness measurement, a thorough approval process, key feedforward and feedback process and a short- and long-term evaluation of such implementations. This paper explores the project implemented on micro-credit course called the value added course as a supplementary module to the undergraduate students to enhance their understanding of Industry 4.0 technologies and their implementation. The process followed during this research project is explained and the data driven decision making process made available as case for open learning through micro-credit course.
