ClearConcepts Education Services Assists Sujaya Foundation with Moodle Online Platform Setup for Education of Underprivileged Children
Online, January 8, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Bangalore-based ClearConcepts has volunteered to set up Moodle online platform for providing education to underprivileged children by teaming up with Sujaya Foundation, a Mumbai-based NGO. ClearConcepts is a Bangalore-based Education Services organization, which provides live and interactive online coaching for IIT, AIEEE and BITSAT entrance preparations.
"We regularly use online systems for our classes. Our students love the fact that they can learn from the comfort of home. At the same time, we, as teachers, are convinced that through the use of audio-visual elements available in online platform, we can teach more effectively and students also learn better. When we learnt about Sujaya's work, we thought that the school children will also enjoy learning topics like English and Math if they are explained using audio files, videos and quizzes. We are glad to see that Sujaya Foundation is very effectively using the Moodle online platform which we have set up for them", said Sanjay Mansabdar, Chief Executive Officer at ClearConcepts Education Services.
Sujaya Foundation works with underprivileged children from Municipal Schools and State Funded Private Schools and has three of their own centers. The online programme for English teaching runs in 3 places for students from Class V to VII. Currently more than 60 students are undergoing this programme. There are plans to expand this to all schools and centers in the near future.
Sujaya Foundation has found that with the use of Moodle online platform, it has become easy to organise and build the teaching material. The teachers are also able to very easily use all types of material such as audio, quizzes and tests through a single platform to help the students learn better and faster.
Apart from the setup of Moodle online platform, Sujaya Foundation and ClearConcepts are also working together for The Experiential Learning programme. Under this program, ClearConcepts provides some curriculum creation work to Sujaya Foundation. The Experiential Learning Programme provides differently abled youth an opportunity to become financially independent.
Appreciating ClearConcepts' involvement and expressing her gratitude towards ClearConcepts, Huzan Mistry, volunteer at Sujaya Foundation said "Sujaya Foundation would like to thank ClearConcepts for spending time teaching our team - Moodle with its various functionalities and for always being available for a queries and endless questions".
