MyPedia comprises teaching
plans which bring together the course book, workbook, videos and assessments.
Learning is extended beyond classrooms through a HomeApp, which connects
parents to the learning process. Students can scan images in the textbooks
using a smart phone and watch these videos, providing them personalized and
anytime, anywhere learning. The application can be downloaded on any
android mobile phone.Parents can access digital resources, reports on daily
assessment and monitor the school progress of their children.
MyPedia helps students integrate their
learning across subjects, allowing them to learn in a more comprehensive
manner, reason abstractly and quantitatively. Its unique features help students
understand different learning layers, where each layer comprises the skills and
concepts that a student needs to learn in a particular grade. These solid
layers of concepts built over time helps students to break away from
compartmentalization of subjects.
It combines the
best in curriculum & content, digital & technology, assessment
framework and training. MyPedia’ s assessment architecture goes deep to cull
out learning gaps, even at a sub-topic level, which in traditional methods
often go unnoticed. This in turn equips educators to provide quick and
individual-level remedial interventions, resulting in enhanced conceptual
clarity and improvement in overall performance of young ones.
Speaking at the occasion,Mr. Ujjwal Singh, Vice
President, Product – K12, Pearson India said, “Today’s
learners are growing up in an increasingly complex world. Developing critical
thinking skills through programmes such as MyPedia will equip them to deal with
the challenges they confront in a dynamic digital and information age. Such a
programme is imperative not only for students but also for teachers. Through MyPedia, schools and parents can be
assured of measurable improvement in thinking skills of the learner,”
One
of the teachers who experienced MyPedia
said,“This is an extremely comprehensive
and easy-to-access programme. It includes a suggestive detailed learning plan
along with an activity kit and practice workbooks that help us assess a
student’s progress and identify learning gaps. The Teacher portal in MyPedia is
mapped to respective grades and subjects. We can easily assign practice
assessments to specific class and can also view the performance of students on
the assignments given.”
Bringing together diverse disciplines in a
comprehensive manner for students and teachers, the programme enables deeper
understanding of complex associations and influences within a topic. The
product also allows parents to seamlessly communicate with teachers and equips
them to track their child’s progress and lend the required support. A
systematic teaching plan for teachers in MyPedia allows them to plan yearly
academics in a strategic and effective manner. Students will benefit by
connecting new learning experiences to their existing body of knowledge,
assumptions and understandings and acquire skills needed in an ever-evolving
information and digital age.
