Vijaya Mulay, who died last month at the age of 98, was an icon of educational technology. Mulay’s own vision of educational technology offered no exception to the general rule that technology must promote plurality of use and creative endeavour. That is not the direction that educational technology took in India. For Mulay, the danger of educational technology leading to centralised decision-making was as great as the attraction that it would bring life into classrooms. This is a far cry from how Mulay defined the purpose of using educational technology.
