The widespread adoption of tablets,mobile applications,social networks and digital content is having widespread effect on students around the world. Because of this,classrooms are set to go through a revolutionary change,especially the way students will learn and teachers will pass on information.
With this in mind,Samsung Electronics,in partnership with Modern School,Barakhamba,launched the a joint initiative to improve student learning with easy-to-use immersive technology for a digital classroom.
The advanced solutions for this next generation classroom was developed in collaboration with the school and SRI-Bangalore,the Samsung R&D Center in Bangalore.
Samsung provided Modern School with a solution package consisting of 42 Galaxy Note 10.1 units and a 65-inch interactive whiteboard. The solution gives the teacher the ability to lead interactive lessons and real-time group activities through screen and content sharing features. The technical support for the Samsung School solution will be given by SRI-Bangalore while the course content has been worked on by the school itself.
The school is also free to partner with content providers to design the digital course content,while SRI will ensure smooth implementation and technical support.
“Students today are digital natives. As they embark on their learning journey,they expect interactive software and content,” said Hyoil Kim,vice president,Enterprise Business Team at Samsung India. “This level of interactivity can only be achieved if the education sector focuses not only on devices that motivate students to be active participants in their own education,but solutions and content that increase collaboration and networking in the learning environment.”
When asked about the project,Lata Vaidyanathan,Principal,Modern School,Barakhamba,said,“We want our students to experience new,interactive ways of learning and have them engage better with their teachers and enhance their overall learning experience and retention,”
The Samsung School solution has already been used in several Korean schools as a pilot project,and is currently being implemented in more than 20 schools around the world,from Africa and Asia to Europe and North America.
