An alternative learning tool using the Internet

Shreyasi Roy, an Interaction Design student, created a web application called 'My Textbook' which provides alternative learning experiences to children who currently don't have any other learning tools outside of textbooks.

Roy, whose interests include HCI, interface design, design strategy, user research, usability and visual design, says that, "The project was an attempt to discover and design a system for education in India that would enable students to use technology. It tried to explore and provide a new source of inspiration to learners, keeping in mind the Indian context. The project was about making the content 'relevant' for the learner."
