Duration: May 10 to August 10, 2024.
Learners:
32 dedicated individuals, including teachers from Engineering and Liberal Arts education, school teachers, and EdTech industry professionals, were selected based on their innovative research ideas.
Research buddies:
Each learner was guided by one of the 35 research buddies.
Achievements:
Out of the 18 papers submitted to the main track of Technology 4 Education (T4E) 2024, 15 were accepted. Furthermore, 4 additional submissions were accepted under the Practitioner Research Idea Summit (PRISm) track of T4E 2024, dedicated exclusively to PRISm 2024 participants.
A noteworthy example of the programme’s transformative impact was seen in the 2024 run, where four learners from the 2023 cohort, who had successfully completed the programme and published papers in T4E 2023, were invited back as research buddies. These individuals mentored the new learners, helping them to document their research effectively and publish their findings.
