Transforming the traditional classroom with Open Education – Moodle

The Tamarind Tree school in Dahanu, India, encourages self-learning through open educational resources and open technology

At Tamarind Tree, the traditional classroom and traditional teacher role do not exist. Using open source software and open educational resources, the school has developed an entire digital ecosystem, with their LMS built on Moodle My Big Campus in the centre.

Each day, students access the learning content and go through activities independently, nurturing their curiosity and self-assurance. In this setting, the role of the teacher is not as someone who delivers content, but more like a facilitator who mentors the children during their learning journey. As well as guiding the children through what theyre learning, when a teacher detects that a student is having difficulties with a topic or concept, or requires help, they will schedule one-on-one meetings where they both research and learn together.

Because our system is technologically run its extremely easy to pinpoint exactly in which concept [] the learner is facing a problem, says Tamarind Tree team member Ayushi.

Facilitators are then ready to provide the most suitable intervention to support the learners understanding.
