Marking a remarkable shift in education, teaching is poised to undergo a digital change with a new generation classroom tab called 'Classpad', which relieves students from the cumbersome task of group learning and jotting down lessons on paper and, at the same time, helps teachers redefine the outcome of teaching.
"The Classpad has been created to fill the gap between students and teachers that has been obstructing education for long. It has personalised education in which every student participates, perceives and responds to the classroom lessons according to his/her individual intellect," said Rohit Pande, CEO and Co-founder of Classteacher Learning Systems (CLS) that has developed the gadget.
At the same time, the gadget helps teachers go a step ahead of the conventional method of group teaching and give undivided attention to each student by reaching them individually through the Classpad.
Using the Classpad, teachers can transfer class work to the students' tablet, share their own content instantly and conduct tests.
"As the gadget comes equipped with the software that tests students' problem solving, creativity and application of language skills, teachers can also assess a student's strength of learning and assimilating things," Pande said.
Asked about how is the Classpad better than the government-sponsored Akash tab, Pande said, "The Classpad focuses on its applications rather than hardware unlike the Akash tab, and thus makes it user-friendly."
"Seven-hour battery life, 1.3 Ghz processing speed and a built-in memory of 4 GB expandable up to 8 GB also makes it more robust and powerful solution fit to bring fundamental change in education," Pande said. (More)
