Dr. Sonwalkar is regarded as a leading expert in the application of computers in education. He has extensive research and development experience in hypermedia authoring, mobile learning, adaptive learning, and brain-based synaptic learning, advanced scientific visualization, database management systems, and computer simulation.

After receiving doctoral degree from MIT in the area of Molecular Dynamics of Nano-interfaces, he joined MIT as faculty in Mechanical Engineering, but his passion for technology enabled education led him become the founding director of Hypermedia Teaching Facility (Hypermedia Lab) at MIT and later he was appointed as the Principal Educational Architect of MIT.

technical paper

In this presentation, Dr. Sonwalkar provides a brief background of his work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that led to pedagogical experiements to develop the learning cube framework. He also touches upon the advent of new technologies and how we can incorporate them into our current education system to resonante with the next generation.

Changing the Interface of Education: Preface

In this presentation, Dr. Sonwalkar who is also the founder and CEO of IntellADAPT introduces the company's location based educational training and tracking application using their groundbreaking Adaptive 2.0 engine.

intellADAPT's Powerful Location Based Education Solutions

In this presentation, Dr. Sonwalkar provides a brief introduction for the Nano Adaptive Mobile Apps that provide short format educational content focusing on the mastery of a single concept or topic area. Using the Adaptive 2.0 learning platform, the Nano Adaptive Apps have the ability to present the content in five different learning strategies to ensure better grasp of the content.

intellADAPT's Nano Adaptive Apps

In this presentation, Dr. Sonwalkar provides a glimpse into how the brain works while one is trying to learn a concept. IntellADAPT's Adaptive 2.0 platform is based on a similar pattern wherein the platform uses a pedagogical framework to incorporate multimedia learning models for interactivity and social learning. The platform uses statistical inference as well as EEG headbands to identify the optimum learning stratgey for a learner.

intellADAPT & The Adaptive 2 0 Advantage

With the necessity now of learning online along with class-room learning, it is important to change the interface of education by creating online courses that are pedagogically effective and adaptive to meet individual learning needs. Dr. Sonwalkar presents his unique, scientific and rational approach to meet expectations of the learners using computer as a mediaum for ingesting the content.
