The idea that technology can revolutionize education is not new. However, the Internet, coupled with mobile, more affordable end-user gadgetry now lends itself as an enormously powerful digital medium to enhance the teaching and learning experience across the globe. Advances in information technology have enabled the “personalization” of the learning experience by providing access to learning and assessment resources – anywhere, anytime.
eLearn.Punjab aims to facilitate and encourage the use of educational technologies by providing digitized content, relevant supplementary resources, and online assessment tools for students and educators. As a first step, digitized versions of science subject text books for 9th and 10th grades are being made available online – along with links to a sea of supplementary material available over the Web. In future, the same content may also be pre-loaded into laptops or tablets, or made available in the form of CDs. The introduction of online self-assessment features as well as centralized course/content management tools for public schools is also planned.
We would like to make eLearn.Punjab a meaningful and exciting place for learners and educators to go to. We encourage our visitors, private sector entities, and international agencies to explore, contribute, and collaborate with us in this regard. Please visit eLearn.Punjab frequently, and send us your suggestions, feedback, links to resources, possible support via your organization’s CSR initiatives etc.

Project Objectives
|
Progress
|
| Development of web-based repository will be equipped with multimedia resources in the form of interactive textbooks for K-12 (Science and Math), Teacher guides and Practical notebooks. |
- Grade 6-10 Science and Math available at eLearn.Punjab
- Practical Note-books of grade 9 and 10 are also available online.
- Non interactive teacher guides are available.
- Story Books are available.
|
| Now, project aims to develop physics, chemistry, math and biology of grade 11 and 12. Project aims to pre-load offline content in upcoming laptop distribution scheme for intermediate students. |
The development of digital content of grade 11 and 12 including subjects’ physics, chemistry, math and biology is almost complete. Review process is underway.
|
| To develop digital content for grade 1-5 (Science & Math) |
Development in progress
|
| To expedite the development, both in-house and outsourced approaches will be adopted. |
Localization including Urdu voiceover has outsourced to Virtual University
|
| Content developed by Centre for Technology in Education (CTE) of ITU will be incorporated in upcoming version. |
