The content library

A repository built around learning objectives

Every lesson is broken into independent learning objectives and small learning objects, with reinforcement and evaluation built in. That structure lets the content be re-mapped to any board, country or learner group.

School curriculum

Kindergarten to Class XII, with depth in Mathematics, Science and Environmental Studies, aligned to CBSE, ICSE, State and Matriculation boards.

Virtual labs

Interactive science experiments that let students explore concepts safely and repeatedly, in the classroom or at home.

Assessments

Question banks and intelligent assessment engines with instant feedback, and class-wise and individual progress reports.

Animated visuals

50,000+ 2D and 3D animations, graphics and voiced explanations that improve attention, understanding and retention.

International edition

A curriculum-neutral version of the library, designed for launch outside India, with earlier Portuguese and Spanish editions.

Built for today’s devices

The library is being modernised to HTML5 for web, tablet and mobile apps, with separate editions for different learner groups.

Flagship product

A K-12 e-learning suite that helps teachers deliver lessons and helps students learn better. It supports the teacher; it does not replace her.

  • 4,000+ hours of e-content in an ever-growing repository
  • Built-in learning management for students, teachers and administrators, with no separate LMS cost
  • Low-bandwidth delivery on Windows, Mac and Linux
  • Measured learning: class-wise and personalised progress tracking
