About e-LDA Lab
The e-LDA stands for e-Learning and Data Analytics Lab. e-LDA was founded at Indian Institute of Information Technology Kota in 2020. This lab largely focuses on development of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and learning analytic tools. Further, it aims to enhance the teaching-learning process with the application of data analytics and machine learning techniques on the digital data for college students through online mode.
College education is an area of prime concern as it is crucial for making the youth of our country competitive and resourceful. In order to impart quality education and authentic knowledge to inculcate skill development amongst collegiate youth IIIT Kota collaborated with College education, Government of Rajasthan to establish this lab.
The reach and access to quality skill development education can be ensured through technology enabled education modules and courses in the form of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). The e- Learning and Data Analytics (e-LDA) lab in Indian Institute of Information Technology Kota (IIIT Kota) along with the College Education Department, Rajasthan proposes to develop MOOCs for collegiate youth in order to facilitate additional skills and enhance employability prospects.
Objectives of e-LDA Lab
The primary aim of the e-Learning and Data Analytics lab is to develop Massive Open Online Courses on unexplored topics that will be useful:
- To provide quality education with equitable access to learners across India.
- To enhance the skill set of collegiate youth through Skill Development Courses.
- To explore unexplored subject topics in MOOCs relevant to Indian learners based on Industry needs.
- To develop digital content for MOOCs on Skill development and vocational course contents.
- To enhance employability of college students through MOOCs.
- To aid the teaching-learning process using data analytics.
