Gamification – ODiSI Approach

ODiSI Project details

Affordable and quality education for every child is the foundation for a stable, prosperous, community of coming generations. There is certainly large divide between urban India and Rural Bharat, especially in terms of access and content. The recent pandemic has certainly exposed this weak underbelly of an already crumbling infrastructure of India’s rural schools. This initiative is to enable affordable, accessible and sustainable infrastructure for the rural child and provide them an equal opportunity to learn. The project aims at creating a open ended platform where multiple contributors can participate, leverage already existing content and take the first steps in making primary digital learning, available for all.

This project is named ODiSI – OSAAT Digital School Infrastructure.

ODiSI Dashboard

ODiSI brings it all together in a cloud based dashboard, which needs no manual data entry (Automation, APIs, schedulers collect the data). Dashboard displays various meaningful metrics like participation (students, teachers), trends, learning outcome. Filters can slice the data by academic year, cluster, school, classroom, subject, medium of instruction, grade, topics, etc. or combination of the same. The dashboard has hierarchical role based access for HMs, BEO, CRP, DDPI and other department officials, only for schools under their purview. ODiSI-Dashboard
