LEARNING

-Dr Arabinda Sharma

Education leaders around the world are

grappling with the plethora of new ICT tools

and trends in learning space design, all

which promise to revolutionise teaching and

learning. However, amidst the rush to

modernization, many schools are

overlooking the developments in pedagogy

and culture that must accompany such

changes. To help focus your education

modernization strategy, we examine the

teaching and learning styles that students

actually want, the opportunities that modern

learning spaces should provide and the

essential characteristics next-gen teachers

need to possess today.

Students Want Next Generation Learning

3D PRINTING AND ITS APPLICATION

Basic Definition of 3D Printing

We all know what printing is so let’s begin

with the 3D part of 3D printing. 3D is

shorthand for three-dimensional. When you

print a page on a printer, there are only two

dimensions: the front of the page and the

back of the page. Three-dimensional printing

adds a third dimension, volume.

3D printing uses a printer to create three-

dimensional objects, for example, a cup or

Yoda doll or phone case.

3D printing has these qualities:

Objects are created by adding or

depositing layers of material, not

subtracting or cutting out pieces from a

block of material.

Because objects are created by adding

layers, the computer file with details

about your model must be converted into

slices the printer will create layer by

layer.

Printing a three-dimensional object can

take hours or days to complete, depending

on the complexity and size of the object.

Cost is based on materials used, among

other factors. In contrast, if you buy a

piece of wood then cut out pieces to

create your object you pay for the original

piece of wood.

How 3D Printing is Used

Today 3D printing is mostly done by

business, students, and designers. Home or

consumer use of 3D printing is mostly

limited to people trying out the technology.

However, there’s a lot of value in printing

three-dimensional objects for students,

designers, and anyone who needs a small

object to demonstrate their ideas or create

usable objects. Students as young as 10 years

old also might use a 3D printer in shop class.


4

It’s the future uses of this technology which

have people excited. For example, replacing

the plastic back of your TV remote might

involve going to a website, finding the part,

then clicking a button to have the part

printed locally where you can pick it up.

Today you either replace the complete

remote control or figure out where to get the

replacement part which has been created

elsewhere, likely overseas.

More interesting, 3D printing makes it

possible to experiment with fashion and

other parts of our lives we take for granted. It

might be possible to create medical implants,

for example, using tissue from the patient.

Perhaps the most talked about, and

misunderstood, use of 3D printing involves

making guns. While it is possible, there are

many factors that make printing a gun

dangerous and uncommon. It’s easier and

safer to create a light saber.

It’s also possible 3D printing will be used as

part of a larger manufacturing process, for

example, to create cars. In addition to a new

set of cars offered every year by automakers,

3D printing might make it easy to buy a

1967 Mustang with the latest engine, safety,

and other technologies from your local car

dealer. The same dynamic applies to shoes

and frames for glasses, for example, where

older designs unavailable today might be

available for 3D printing at home or nearby

at a print shop.

In addition, there is at least one group that

provides students a way to use their school

3D printers to create prosthetic parts for

medical use. Students get hands on

experience creating something other than a

phone case while helping others.

How 3D Printing Works

At a high level, a 3D printer takes material;

usually plastic wrapped on a spool, heats the

material, and then fuses the material layer by

layer to build a three-dimensional object.

The material is extruded, or pushed out and

deposited.

Precision is critical for 3D printers. The print

head, pulleys, and extruder hardware must be

aligned, as well as software dimensions

translated to the correct real world

dimensions used by the printer hardware.

The Printrbot printer is a low end printer you

can build yourself to understand how all the

pieces of a 3D printer fit together and work.

Most people, however, use a pre-built printer

where they adjust the location of the print

head and build platform, as well as test the

extruder heads emit the material used to

print.

There are at least two kinds of additive 3D

printing, resin and non-resin. Printing objects

with resin uses laser technology to solidify

layer by layer to create objects. It often is

extremely costly and uses light and

chemicals to cure the object. However, the

results are more precise than non-resin

printing.

When people talk about 3D printing, they’re

mostly talking about non-resin printing.

Instead of resin, lasers, and chemicals, non-

resin printing uses plastic, food, ceramics, or

other material and adds layer upon layer to

create an object.


5

The 3D Printing Process

Printing a three-dimensional model is more

complicated than opening up Microsoft

Word and printing to your 2D printer. At a

high level, to create a 3D model you follow

these steps:

Find a model or create a model with

Blendr, SketchUp, or OpenSCAD

software.

Prepare your model for printing, for

example, ensuring the model is watertight

with no gaps.

Create an STL file which converts your

model into code the 3D printer

understands, using Netfabb, Meshlab, or

similar software.

Print your 3D model, adjusting the printer

as needed.

Application of 3D printing

A new technology or invention can be

evaluated by considering its applications and

positive influence on human life and society.

Starting with base of the pyramid, primitive

physiological human needs must be satisfied.

Food and shelter are two essential needs in

this group which have been addressed by 3D

printing research.

Food

Food is one of fundamental ingredients of

life which is at the base of the pyramid of

human needs. Bringing the food industry to

the digital age is one of the essential and

revolutionary applications of 3D printing.

Applying this technology enables fast

automated and repeatable processes, freedom

in design, as well as allowing large and easy

variability of the cooking process which can

be customized for each region or individual.

Using robotic layer based food printing

systems allows the recipe of the food to be

digitized and saved in order to prepare very

repeatable and high quality dishes without

any margin for operator error. Also, the

shape and decoration of the food can be

individualized based on the customer or the

occasion.

Shelter

Shelter is another basic human necessity

which can be an interesting application for

3D printing. The building industry is one of

the last remaining fields where human labor

and skills are the norm and mass

manufacturing techniques and robots are

considered science fiction. Given that a large

portion of world population is without

permanent shelter or food, it would be

logical to think that these basic necessities

should be top priority for robotized

manufacturing techniques yet both the

construction and food industries remain

labor intensive. Conventional building

methods are hazardous, time consuming, and


6

expensive; 3D printing of buildings can

enable automated creation of variety of

buildings quickly and efficiently.

Health

While much effort is put forth by

individuals, societies, and businesses to

improve our physical health, an ideal health

is very subjective and could depend on

location and vary over time. However, it can

be said that the absence of sickness,

specially, chronic illnesses is a requisite for

good health. Illnesses, accidents, and aging

deteriorate the body's or a specific organ's

condition. Organ transplants have been

successfully conducted for the past century;

however, there has always been a shortage of

donors or an inability to find a match

between the donor and recipient in time. 3D

printing is an advanced recent technology in

this field which can be a revolutionary

alternative with a variety of applications in

the transplant and healthcare industry in

general.

Education

The education system plays an important

role in aiding people achieve their full

potential. 3D printing can revolutionize the

learning experience by helping students

interact with the subject matter. Affordable

3D printers in schools may be used for a

variety of applications which can aid

students in finding their field of interest

easier and faster. Currently there are

different types of educational projects in

order to attract students to the various fields

by giving them the opportunity to create and

fabricate their own designs using 3D printing

technology.

Creativity

The ability to develop and present ideas is

one of the most important needs in the

society and human development. Regarding

this 3D printing can enable the creation of

complex geometries which are very difficult,

expensive, or impossible to be manufactured

using conventional production methods.

DEMONETIZATION AND ITS EFFECT ON EDUCATION SECTOR IN INDIA

India

Demonetization is an act where the old unit

of currency gets retired and replaced with a

new currency unit. It can also be considered

as withdrawal of a specific currency from

market.

On Tuesday, 8th of November, 2016 Prime

Minister of India Narendra Modi announced

the demonetization of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000

notes with effect from midnight, making

these notes invalid. The major reasons

behind this move were controlling black

money, controlling fake currency and

controlling corruption.

Reasons

According to The Reserve Bank of India, the

most important reason for the

demonetization of 500 and 1000 rupees note

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing

was the rise of fake currencies of the same

notes, and also the higher occurrence of

black money in the economy. “The fake

notes are being used for illegal activities by

anti-nationalists like terrorists and India

being a nation of a cash-based economy, the

circulation of fake currency continues to be

a threat.

Effects of Demonetization

Demonetization created effect on different

sectors in different manners resulting into

boom for some sectors like E-Wallet

businesses and somewhere resulting into

temporary slowdown like micro businesses

like vegetable vendors or some small

seasonal businesses, where most of the

transactions are on cash basis.

Impact of Demonetization on Education

Sector

Demonetization is a very positive move,

most transactions happen through cash or

cheque these days. Usages of such plastic or

online transactions are more transparent as it

reduces the risk of corruption and is feasible

to use. These can be used to not only buy

stationery but also to pay tuition fees in

various institutes. There are many other

payment alternatives available and hence

there is no major impact of demonetization

in the field of education.

There are various mobile wallets or apps

that have mushroomed in the last few

months, I want such mobile wallets to

become the next big thing, along with the

usage of paper currency should be reduced.

This will lead to lesser robberies and

Hawala transactions can also be contained.

Cash should just be 10% of all expenses in

an individual’s life, ours is one amongst the

very few countries that rely on cash more

than plastic money.

There are many institutes that rely on

capitation fees, this is the money paid to the

educational institute by parents of such

students who have underperformed in their

academics, but who get admission based on

capitation fee. This has been a commonly

prevalent practice in the Private Education

sector within our country. Demonetisation

will help create an equal platform for

aspiring and deserving students as many will

not be able to pay the capitation fees.

Schools and other institutes should also

follow suit and opt for a cashless

transaction. Fees in our university is through

Demand Drafts or online payments. It is

essential to encourage the digitalisation of

transactions. Institutes should spread

awareness by insisting on payment of fees

through Demand Drafts or online payments.

Canteens or book stores should use smart

cards for convenience. Parents also should

learn to safeguard themselves and their

belongings from stealing and also to ensure

there is a control over economy.

There is no construction without destruction;

it is visible that education does not have a

huge impact of demonetization. It is also

important to clean all the dirt within our

country once in a while so I consider it to be

a nice move. Despite mopping the house

clean, if any window is left open then there

are chances of dirt creeping in. Similarly, it

is essential to not only nip the flower at the

bud but also to implement certain policies

that will ensure that the eradicated issues do

not crop up again. Despite, the availability

of technology, there is a need to get


8

everyone adapt to technology especially for

future generation.

There will not be much impact on the staff

within the education sector. But, just like

Right to Information (RTI) it is essential to

have a 'Right to Services' option that will

help keep a tab on the services provided by

the various institutions and will also give the

public a free hand to complaint against such

service providers.
