Thanks to digitisation, the education landscape in India is undergoing a sea change. While traditional methods of learning continue to happen in educational institutions and coaching classes, your children today have a variety of other smarter options to choose from. This has been possible because of the emergence of various e-learning platforms. E-learning has totally transformed the learning experience and made it a lot easier and productive for students as well as teachers. Children can even prepare for competitive exams such as JEE, NEET and various Olympiads using digital platforms.
Just to give you an idea of how big the industry is, here’s a mind-boggling statistic: according to a Businessworld article, India’s e-learning industry is growing steadily at 25 per cent year-on-year and is pegged to be worth about $1.96 bn by 2021. This just goes on to show how e-learning, which was a nascent concept around 2002-2003, has come to be widely accepted by students and educators. Now as a parent, if you’re wondering as to how you can make study time and exam preparation engaging and productive for your children, we’ve got you covered.
#1 Let them study at a time of their convenience: As parents, you know that different children are productive at different times of the day. Some love to study early in the morning, while some prefer late nights. That’s exactly what a platform such as Aakash Digital lets them do. The force powering this platform is Aakash Institute that is synonymous with academic excellence for 30 years now. Be it school exams from Grade 8 to 12 or competitive exams such as JEE or NEET, Aakash Digital is your one-stop for everything to do with exam preparations. Aakash iTutor offers you recorded lectures that your children can access on their laptop, tablet or phone at any time during the day and from anywhere. No need to be stuck with unclear concepts late at night.
#2 Make the learning process less stressful by making a virtual classroom available: There are times children have to travel far off distances to get to a reliable coaching class or move to another city altogether. This can be stressful for them as well as for you, but not any longer because e-learning has you covered. Your children can attend live online classes with the same classroom curriculum, printed study material and learn from acclaimed faculty at home itself, thanks to Aakash Live. No more unnecessary travel or shifting cities. And you know what they say about #PadhneWaleBande – they will study anywhere, be it a real classroom or a virtual one, just like they show in the following video.
#3 Help them identify their strong points and build their focus: Focus forms the basis of all learning, and your children can only get their focus right if they are aware of their strengths and weaknesses. E-learning has greatly simplified this process. Your child takes a test online. He instantly gets detailed feedback when the test taken is still fresh in his memory. This makes it easier for him to identify his areas of improvement. That’s exactly how Aakash PracTest works. What’s more is that a series of online tests such as All India Aakash Test Series helps your child know how he compares with toppers, how the learning is progressing and what areas to focus on. Now, isn’t e-learning really a blessing?
#4 Encourage them to keep the doubts coming: In a classroom setting, children at times hesitate from getting their doubts clarified. The reason for this could vary from the fear of ridicule to the teacher not being able to adequately focus on all students. However, e-learning has totally changed this. Your child can now ask his doubt to an expert at any given time of the day and that too without any hesitation. So, encourage them to ask more and more questions.
#5 Make learning a multi-sensory experience: Gone are the days of rote learning. By enrolling your child on an e-learning platform such as Aakash Digital, you introduce him to learning using multiple senses at the same time. E-learning courses are designed such that they use a combination of visually compelling images and graphics to make the whole process of education more engaging and effective.
E-learning is playing a key role in augmenting the method of teaching and making it more effective, and Aakash Digital is a leader in this space. Their high-quality test preparatory content, assessments, guidance from qualified faculty and innovative teaching techniques ensure that your children’s preparation is built on a sound academic core and legacy. Simply put, if it is academic excellence combined with digital learning, it has got to be Aakash Digital.
