Tasks Learning Organisations aims to accomplish
-
Train the student in the said technology through classroom/online lectures/videos
-
Provide necessary resources to the student to practice what is learned in the class
-
Ensure students practice what they learn on assignments that are relatable to the real world work
-
Identify the students’ areas of weak comprehension through evaluation of the practice work he/she has done
-
Provide personal attention to students in resolving their queries during their practice sessions
-
Provide a comprehensive report of the progress made by each student and their strengths
Pain points at present
-
Institute/Learning Organisations could have very good faculty who can deliver training but the trainer’s time needed to help the students to practice is significantly higher
-
Managing infrastructure and setting up practice exercises for the whole class needs significant resources
-
Evaluating work done by students and measuring the learning outcomes of the class is immensely expensive
-
Assisting students in solving their individual assignments is an impractical task even though the promise of good results is high
Mihira
Cloud IDE to help Learning Organizations
-
Cloud-based IDE (Integrated Development Environment) custom-built for the training program with necessary run-times preconfigured
-
24/7 secure access for the student and mentor without any need for software installation
-
Facilitates sharing the environment with the mentor to get guidance remotely
-
Readymade exercises to work on and self-evaluation by student
-
Mentor access to any of the student’s workspace helps to understand the issues faced by the student easily and provide the necessary guidance
-
Mentor will be able to remotely evaluate the students work
-
Workspace activity is monitored to report the usage of the workspace and practice activity centrally
Addressed pain
points
-
The mentor does not need to spend a lot of time setting up the environment for each student
-
The solution scales to any size of student batch without any significant effort
-
Preconfigured software and sample assignments help the user get started with programming practice immediately
-
The huge effort needed to evaluate each individual student’s work is eliminated through predefined exercises being auto evaluated
Advantages

-
Using workspace live-sharing, you can interact with students during their coding sessions if needed
-
No huge upfront investment of time or money needed to get started with
-
Increases the engagement (time and distance not being a concern) between students and mentors and also among student peers thus enabling collaboration
-
Possibility of sharing the practice work done by the students with prospective employers thus increasing the chance of landing in a job
