About The Learning School

Background

The Learning School reflects what all schools were expected to transform into by 2030! In the decade starting 2020, the three defining shifts in school education, globally, were to be:

1. Supporting knowledge revolution, uprooting itself from industrial revolution foundations
2. Becoming truly learner-centric in all goals, resources, and processes, moving away from institution-centric existence
3. Ensuring 'Every child succeeds', moving away from 'whoever succeeds' and blaming children and parents for the same

However, the current global situation dramatically brought forward the decade, suddenly, 2030s will be played as the normal in 2020s; virtual school is real.

The high-octane blending of the technology with pedagogy has shaped up as 'e-Classroom' - broadcasting teacher's presence into the homes of her students.
But e-Classroom can only be effective if*:

1. It increases personalisation for users (students)
2. It captures all the interactions for later reference
3. It supports data analytics to improve learning outcomes
4. It better integrates all the stakeholders
5. It's safe
*That’s because the very nature of Internet is such

Filling the gap - The Learning School App

The Learning School App redefines "e-Classroom" to be educationally sound, and offers the following main features:

1. It delinks teaching from learning - makes learning asynchronous, personalises learning; students use the entire day and all means, as best convenient, to learn a target content
2. It integrates video to live discussion (using text, photo, video) and content (text, video, photo, assessment, activity)
3. It integrates teachers, HODs/Coordinators/HM, and principals to see live sessions and post sessions, 24x7; ensures safety
4. It offers extensive archiving and data analytics to school and parents on individual and groups of students
5. Many pedagogically critical features such as hiding names of students, allowing pre- and post-class submissions as planned by teachers
And it's an evolving platform.
