World Class Education Is Now Available In Indian Villages
Online, May 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - A technological platform that can bring world class education to villages has been launched.
Edyounet Technologies (www.edyounet.com), a Kerala (India) based technology firm is introducing a concept called "TeleClassroom" for the First time in India. Edyounet is gearing up to start 'TeleClassroom' in each and every Panchayaths in Kerala.
"TeleClassroom" is a typical class room equipped with a large LCD Screen, computers and allied equipments. But there will be no teacher in the TeleClassroom! Teachers teach from 'Educational Studios' set up in big cities. These classroom sessions are transmitted to TeleClassrooms through specially configured internet connectivity.
Students in TeleClassroom can communicate with teacher in studios in real time basis. They can ask questions and get answers immediately. Teachers and students can write on the LCD screen in the TeleClassroom. They can also share documents and video. Students can even see what is happening on the teacher's computer.
The speciality is that teachers in Education studios in cities can teach students in various TeleClassrooms set up in the length and breadth of Kerala. Thereby, cost of education can also be reduced.
Since the excellent quality education that are available only in cities can be made available in deep down villages, there emerges the possibility of a quantum jump in the quality education scenario in the state.
So many smart students are deprived of good quality education just because they are borne in villages. TeleClassrooms are expected to change this situation. If excellent education is given, many students in villages and rural areas can come up in life.
TeleClassrooms are being set up by identifying individual entrepreneurs in villages and small towns, and providing them with technology and training. "Number of entrepreneurs are coming forward to start TeleClassrooms since these can be set up with relatively low investment and low maintenance cost" said Ram Mohan, CEO, Edyounet Technologies. TeleClassrooms are excellent business option for educated women in small towns and villages.
After commencing operation in Kerala, Edyounet is planning to expand into other states, Ram Mohan said.
TeleClassrooms deserve attention as a technological platform that benefit and empower the discerning common people in villages.
