Centre for Education Technology and Learning Sciences
Learning sciences and technology across the lifespan
Advancing rigorous research and design for better learning from K-12 through higher education, professional life, and the third age — grounded in the realities of India and the Global South while contributing to the global research community.
Research across the lifespan
We organise our work around four interconnected domains, each addressing the fundamental questions of what to learn, how to teach and facilitate, how people learn, and how progress is understood.
01
K-12 Education
Designing the future of school learning in the age of AI, grounded in the realities of Indian classrooms and systems.
02
Higher Education
Redesigning teaching, learning, and assessment in universities and colleges for an AI-transformed world.
03
Flexible Learning for Professionals & Executives
Designing adaptive, high-impact continuous learning that fits the realities of work and leadership.
04
Third-Age Learning
Enabling older adults to continue learning, connecting, and participating fully through thoughtfully designed technology-supported experiences.
Flagship Platform
Learning Middleware
An open technology layer designed to make the tools of learning sciences available to educators, researchers, and institutions across the entire spectrum of learners. By releasing it as open source, we aim to lower barriers and accelerate evidence-based innovation for K-12, higher education, professional learning, and third-age contexts.
