With the introduction of 3D Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology in a school in the Capital, learning process is likely to become more interactive and subjects like biology and chemistry easy to understand
After revolutionising the entertainment scenario in India, 3D has now spread its wings over the education system of the country. With the collaboration between Texas Instruments (TI), Government of India has launched its first ever pilot implementation of 3D Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology at Queen Mary’s School at Tis Hazari in the Capital.
The deployment of TI 3D DLP solution envisages schools to have at least one period for 3D learning per week. The content is tailormade for classes VI to XII on subjects like biology, physics, chemistry and mathematics. The teachers will utilise the 3D content to explain the subject in a more lucid manner with interactive in-built content and teaching methodology. Even teachers will be trained to use this solution. “We believe with this technology, we have introduced more effective and innovative ways of teaching and learning in India. The students will actually experience the nuances of the topics they are being taught through technology. It takes a couple of hours before the faculties start using the content confidently in the classroom,” explained Deepak Bhardwaj, director (corporate affairs), TI India.
With the implementation of 3D DLP education, the students will get the practical knowledge and the concepts behind complex topics of science like nervous system, respiratory system, scientific phenomena like osteoporosis and more. There will be pictorial representation of varied topics along with some case studies as well for better understanding of the subject. Kapil Sibal, Minister for Human Resource Development, who inaugurated the facility, said, “As we introduce this landmark system in the education sector, we are not far behind any developed country. I hope that by early 2011, I can disseminate this technology in every Indian school. It’s a new stepping stone in the field of education which we have achieved. This technology is an engaging way of learning the subjects.”
“3D is known to help student in retention of content particularly for mathematics and subjects like physics, biology et al. Being a school for girls, I’m confident that more and more girls will take up maths and science for specialisation as this new system will instill confidence in them,” said Queen Mary’s School principal Neelam Kapoor.
