Indian Institute for Human Settlements

Reconceptualizing Urban Planning for India

The Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) is a nascent university in India focused on creating a new generation of professionals prepared to tackle the unprecedented transformation of India’s urban regions.

For IIHS, I conceived and managed the development of a proof-of-concept demonstration using the SpokenMedia Project’s automatic lecture transcription and video player with video-linked transcript technologies. In addition I developed a demo that linked concepts and content in innovative ways and provided additional strategic consulting on education technology.
