Summer training programs: a practical and collaborative approach in technical education through mobile education kit

Abstract

Mobile Architecture & Programming (MAP) is one of the emerging technologies therefore it is becoming increasingly popular. Prior research reveals that learning Mobile Architecture & Programming from several perspectives like web-based portals, personalised learning environment and workshops focused on simulation-based exercises but lacked in real-world environment. In India, many colleges and universities are either at the beginning of introducing MAP as a course or they don't provide practical aspects with theory. To evaluate the need and to explore different options, a series of summer training programs (STP) has been started for six-week duration each year in June-July, since 2010 at IGDTUW, Delhi. These STPs include set of classes, practical sessions, special demos from experts, analysis sessions as well as real-time project development. This paper focuses on various training outcomes like increase in students-trainer interaction, encouraging team work, provision of H/W & S/W; following methodology etc. thereby evaluating their effects on student's learning experience. The analysis is carried out through a case study presenting six STPs in six consecutive sessions from 2010 to 2015. The findings reveal that these STPs enhance the learning experience of students and introduce various courses such as Mobile Computing, MAP and System on Chip etc.
