DUBLIN, IRELAND -- (Marketwired) -- 10/08/15 -- Mobiliya Edvelop, a leading digital classroom platform, is spearheading educational transformation by enabling remote classrooms and lectures to schools spread across different locations. The platform is helping governments, schools and research wings in India and China bridge educational gaps, deliver advanced technologies for digital learning and further research-oriented programs with the help of remote teaching, offline learning tools, unique content authoring and virtual bag features.
Western China, which is one of the most economically backward regions, shows great educational and technological divides between its urban and rural centres. While the cities have all the learning resources, the rural schools lack quality teachers and standardized pedagogies. In a bid to resolve this skewed education scenario, the China Development Research Foundation (CDRF), a think tank of the Chinese Government, launched a rural education initiative. The CDRF envisioned using digital technologies to connect urban centres that had access to quality teachers and learning resources with distant rural areas. Under this initiative, 14 classes from eight rural schools were given tablets powered with Mobiliya Edvelop. When a teacher in a city school delivered a lecture, it was relayed to the remote rural school using the Mobiliya Edvelop platform. Audio and video sessions were recorded in the city school using camera and wireless headsets, and transmitted to rural classes in real-time. Mobiliya Edvelop ensured that teachers could teach and interact with two classes simultaneously. Teachers could also share learning resources, tests and assignments to both the classes at the same time, ensuring that both the classes were at the same level.
As with China, Mobiliya Edvelop is also disrupting the education sphere in India, a country with the largest student populace in the world. The Sri Chaitanya School, a leading K-12 network in the country, partnered with Mobiliya Edvelop to replace books with tablets. The school distributed Mobiliya Edvelop powered tablets to more than 14,000 students and teachers in more than 90 schools. Students and teachers accessed rich and interactive content, along with curriculum materials, through the Mobiliya Edvelop platform. A unique Edvelop-only feature, the virtual school bag enabled the users to access all textbooks and curriculums in an offline mode.
In addition to K-12 education, Mobiliya Edvelop has also been driving innovation and futuristic online learning in one of the most prestigious engineering colleges, the Army Institute of Technology (AIT), in Pune, India. Mobiliya Edvelop is driving a unique research-oriented mentoring program on the AIT campus. The platform has effectively connected corporates with students to drive research in technologies like wearables and Internet of Things, and is helping students to access them and build their own prototypes and applications based on these technologies. Students can submit their models through the Edvelop platform under the guidance of tech mentors, experts and academicians on the Mobiliya Edvelop platform.
Krish Kupathil, CEO of Mobiliya Technologies, explains, "India and China, two of the world's biggest economies, are on the verge of major education technology reforms. Both countries are relying on digital technologies to accelerate the education pedagogy and create a future-ready workforce. They have a special focus on education and skill development, and Mobiliya Edvelop has come to be the perfect solution that delivers personalized, collaborative and social learning tools, shaping the generation of tomorrow with office-ready skills."
