India’s Largest Content Library
Smart classTM is powered by a vast repository of digital instruction
materials exactly mapped to meet with the specific objectives laid out by different
state learning standards. This repository is aggregated and continuously populated
through ongoing development at Educomp’s Digital Products and Solutions (DIPS)
group, located in a state of the art 30,000 sq feet facility in Noida Special Economic
Zone near New Delhi, India.
The content repository consists of thousands of highly animated, lesson specific,
3D and 2D multimedia modules built with an Instructor-led design that allows the
teacher to effectively transact the lesson in a typical classroom of diverse set
of learners. Educational videos from Eureka and Discovery channel are available
for teachers to use in the classroom.
The modules are embedded in a template that allow the teachers to teach a chosen
lesson in class, frame by frame, with engaging and instructionally sound animated
set of visuals while retaining complete control on the pace of delivery. The curriculum
reach unfolds from kindergarten to grade twelve covering subjects like Mathematics,
Science, English, EVS, Social Studies, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Geography,
Economics and Business Studies. Our repository consists of multimedia 2D and 3D
modules.
Every chapter has a set of ‘Multiple Choice Questions’ designed to assess
learning achieved at different cognitive levels in that specific lesson in class.
These are launched through the engine, displayed on screen for students to answer.
The Smart classTM uses an innovative assessment methodology of using
wireless handheld devices which are provided to each student to answer multiple
choice questions in the classroom.
Teachers can also create their own smart tests and use them in the class for assessment.
For this purpose, a Test Authoring Tool has been added to the Smart classTM
assessment application.
At home, the Smart classTM system includes a virtual school, where parents,
teachers and students can communicate with each other. Teachers can upload assignments
for students to download, and make available important information for parents to
view.
