Classteacher
Learning Systems helps schools leverage the power of
technology for better management (of the school), productivity
(of teachers and administrative staff), communication
(with external entities) and learning outcomes (of students).
Classteacher provides
technology-based solutions to the school at three levels
- Strategy, Processes and Change Management. These solutions
are implemented through Information Management and Delivery
and Instruction and Learning Aids.
The
scope of solutions and services is-
 |
Planning |
To effectively absorb
technology, a school needs to clearly lay out its objectives,
and plan for the next 2-5 years. Investment in technology
needs to be balanced with the benefits and returns.
Classteacher helps the school in identifying these objectives,
charting out milestones, and plan for the infrastructure
(networking, connectivity and hardware) needed to achieve
desired results.

Solutions |
Classteacher itself
provides solutions for schools in the following dimensions
-
a) School
Management and Decision Support : Information Management
and Delivery provides an ideal mix of standard and dynamic
formats to record and retrieve information. This leads
to an easy understanding of all school information,
which could help school management, teachers and parents
take timely decisions.
The intranet platform
interlinks all functions for a single-point seamless
data entry, with reports in multiple formats. The information
can then be disseminated to parents using the Internet
(Virtual School), telephone, mobile phone and touch
screens. Students, parents and teachers can also be
provided with smart cards for information access.
b) Technology
Aided Learning to help the school bring out the
best from their students. This program is aligned with
emerging paradigms in the pedagogy which emphasize on
"learning to learn", collaboration and working
in teams, and the shift in the role of a teacher to
being a facilitator.
c) Technology
Aided Teaching - These support the teaching process
and help in raising the student's performance through
innovative methods of teaching, learning and evaluative
tools.
In addition, tools
are provided for teachers (for communication, scheduling,
knowledge management, creation of lesson plans, worksheets
and assignments).
 |
Implementation |
Teachers and other
users in schools require support and training to effectively
utilize the power of these solutions. Hence, Classteacher
plays a role in implementation of these systems to ensure
that they deliver the benefits intended from them. Once
the school is in a position to run the solutions on
its own, maintenance support is provided to ensure smooth
functioning. |
