Simulation and Modelling

Notes This programme was aimed at reaching out to the children and adolescents in communities
with limited or no access to technology.
It was designed to encourage and develop technology skills, critical thinking and
collaboration among learners through effective community based education, propagated
by successful models of learning outside the formal school setting.
“Our association with Kerala IT has reaped huge benefits not just for the students in Kerala
but also to Intel’s learning initiative,” Mr Ghosh said.

Learning Experience
The whole programme and its execution through various Akshaya centres have been a
learning experience on how non-formal education system has come to have a better and
farther reach through the right platform.
“This is something that we can take back and try to implement in other Asia Pacific
countries as well,” Mr Ghosh said. Intel would now seek to replicate this success in the
entrepreneurship space.
“Having launched this new course, we are eager to associate with Kerala IT more and see
how we can empower the women of the State.”
According to Ms Ishita Roy, Director, Kerala State IT Mission, having empowered a section
of the populace through the Intel Learn Programme, the next step is to take this association
with Intel to encourage entrepreneurship amongst youngsters between 18-25 years.
Next Step

The new curriculum being introduced through Akshaya is a step in this direction. “We are
also working on getting this course certified by the Indira Gandhi National Open University,
Ms Roy said.
The Intel Learn programme has been a major trigger in the growth and sustainability of
Akshaya, according to Mr Korath V. Mathew, Director, Akshaya.
“This has also inspired us into looking at various effective learning methodologies and
work towards empowering the citizens of the State through the Akshaya network”, he
added.
The roundtable had various presentations on how information and communication
technology can enable major growth in various sectors in Kerala.

10.4 Summary

 In the Activity Diagram described in the before, a network of tasks were set up to show the
dependent sequence of activities within a project. An object-orientated simulation approach
towards an integrated planning of production systems.
 The main obstacle for an integrated use of simulation over different planning areas and
stages are the dissimilar views on a production system.
 A computer simulation, a computer model, or a computational model is a computer
program, or network of computers, that challenge to simulate an abstract model of a
particular system.
