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.

Promoting Cost Effective Competency Based Education

In this presentation, Dr. Sonwalkar highlights the fact that the objective of a competency based education is that every learner is able to achieve cent percent competency as opposed to traditional systems wherein learners are bracketed into performance buckets based on the level of competency they could achieve.

The Outcome of Competency Based Education

In this presentation, Dr. Sonwalkar briefly highlights the basic and mandatory competencies that every employer requires in current times. He further asserts that a competency based learning system would cater very well to the skills set requirement set forth by employers.

Confidence in Competency Based Education

In this presentation, Dr. Sonwlkar explains some of the biggest hurdles in the adoption of the adaptive learning platform. He believes that a blended learning system would initially help to bridge the gap between the old and new teaching methods which will eventually sow the seeds for the Adaptive Learning Revolution.

The Adaptive Revolution

In this presentation, Dr. Sonwalkar explains the key elements of a truly adaptive system. He raises an important question that will compel you to think what real competency is or should be. A truly adaptive system not only presents content on the learner's optimum learning strategy but must also be able to assess the learner's performace as per his/her learning preference.

What is a truly adaptive system?

In this Q&A, Dr. Sonwalkar is attempting to answer some vital questions regarding the key differentiators in the adaptive learning platform space and the misconceptions about the technology.

Adaptive Misconceptions Introduction

In this Q&A, Dr. Sonwalkar explains the problems associated with 'predictive' adaptive learning . It is important to understand the difference between predictive and trulu adaptive technologies.
