Suneet Singh Tuli, President & CEO, DataWind said, “Education is the only veritable way that we can help deliver on the Digital India programme as it also contributes in a meaningful manner towards our goal of bridging the digital divide.Ever since our first launch, we have focused on three objectives – 1) make devices more and more affordable 2) getting the best empowering content together on our tablets and 3) delivering free or almost free internet. The tie-up with iScuela for their content directly links in to our second objective.”
“Unlike other available educational content and software, we have worked very hard to ensure that the price is low, just so that good quality learning resources are most accessible and that learners are not challenged by the affordability barrier”, added Tuli.
The trial version of the iScuela Education application will be preloaded on all DataWind tablets and the users are free to sample the content of the grade that they are more interested in and then upgrade the product to the full version. DataWind will also separately offer the full version on its massively popular UbiSlate 7C+.
Content once loaded is available offline on the tablet and can be accessed anywhere, anytime. The offline content availability of the application provides the much needed flexibility to students to learn attheir own pace. Interactive exercises, quizzes, experiments and 3D videos embedded in all the chapters across subjects help reinforce their understanding of the subjects.
Maninder Singh Bajwa of iScuela said, “We are delighted to get an opportunity to partner with DataWind, India’s largest tablet player to offer our rich content to the Indian student community.
