The Technology Tools for Teaching and Training (dot-EDU T4) project seeks to assist the education departments in the Indian states of Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Delhi, for quality teaching and learning for the primary education sector. To this end, dot-EDU T4 has created interactive, multimedia tools in audio, video, and software formats that established new standards for education quality while delivering education services on a large scale and reaching out to girls and other vulnerable populations. Dot-EDU T4’s multi-channel approach to English, math, science, social studies, and lifeskills provides both content and pedagogical training and support for teachers as well as subject specific instruction directly to students. In this way, dot-EDU helps State governments increase equity and access across almost 300,000 primary schools that serve a population of 31 million children.
