Pravin @ EdLab
August 6, 2008 10:58 PM
On August 1st, I began my one year research position at EdLab as an Innovation Intern. Part of Teachers College at Columbia University and the Gottesman Libraries, EdLab is a research, design, and development unit. EdLab envisions and pilots knowledge projects for a fundamentally different education sector that is attuned to the emerging post-industrial, information-based world.
At least that's the official party line ;). We like to go by "atelier"; a beehive of activity with researchers and graduate students coming and going and most importantly producing work.
It's an especially wonderful place if you are interested in education/publishing/libraries and have solutions for problems that exist in those fields. Those solutions can range from a web app to a documentary to an event to a short form video, youtube style.
EdLab has it's own blog where I and other researchers will be posting ideas so make sure to check it out.
My responsibilities there will be more on the web app side and I am hoping to launch one before my year is up. In the meantime there are a lot of smaller projects to be done. The first such project is to create a portable, template based website which can be deployed and customized for the multitude of conferences that occur at Teachers College throughout the year that has is both flexible in it's information architecture/design and easy for the administrator to maintain. Here is a sneak peek at the front end of the two prong problem: v1 of the prototype.
The second prong, ease of use for administrators, is still in the works but we are leaning towards customizing an existing platform (Wordpress) to handle the backend.
