Interactive Low-Cost Virtual Learning Device NOODLE to get rid of Digital Divide in Outcome Based Education

Abstract

Change is the nature of the world and so also the teaching Learning process. Perhaps it was never so challenging as it is today. Post pandemic, online learning under across the Globe has gained wide academic and commercial recognition. Hand held and ubiquitous devices viz. mobile phone, tab, iPod have major role to play. The purposeless / bad use of these devices sometime is a concern. Sometimes, students join their online classes but they do other activities in the background of the device without concentrating on their own class. Sometimes unexpected voice or video calls terminate the online classes. Also, students of rural /village area, can’t afford good quality devices for online learning. This creates a Digital divide. Researches on virtual learning are extensively distributed. Now the proposed device “New-normal Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (NOODLE)” is a newer kind of global and diffusive device to ameliorate consecutive devices for learning and collecting resources is yet to be extensively publicized in the educational world. Proposed work is expected to provide a solution to the students in virtual learning. This device facilitates automatic recording on online classes and there is provision for the audience control by the Admin so as to make the sessions more participatory and interactive. This automatic recording, audio and camera activation is supervisory password protected. The network cost can be minimized through control on social applications and parallel activities. This resolution may be adjuvant for worldwide students along impoverished and is capable of effectively contribute to e-learning.
