“Educomp has been providing Smartclass solution over a decade now. With this solution, teacher teaches “how the planet revolves around Sun”, more effectively. For installing Smartclass program schools do not have to bear the pain of making payment at one go rather the monthly installment arrangement is a win-win situation for us.” - Abhinav Dhar

Educomp was skeptical of the sale, since the Smartclass program involved significant investment on part of schools, in terms of hardware. However, within a short period, Educomp innovated the business model and pioneered a concept in which instead of asking schools to cough up huge sums of money at one time, Educomp divided the total charge into an easy monthly subscription for each student. This made it very easy for schools to adopt Smartclass. Today over 4500 schools and roughly 5 million students use Smartclass across India and the numbers are going up rapidly.
A case study to exhibit how the education solution provider attained quality education solution provider reputation.

Task
At Mary Immaculate High School, Bangalore classes were not student centric & not effective. Teaching subjects like History was not easy. It was difficult to engage students with complete focus on what was taught. Handling multi level intelligence among students was very challenging for the teachers.

Solution
Educomp Solutions Ltd. installed Smartclass at Mary Immaculate High School, Bangalore. Smartclass improved teachers’ efficiency and productivity with its well structured and customized digital content. Smartclass education method brought life to abstract and difficult curriculum concepts thus making learning an enjoyable experience for students. It enhanced multi-sensory learning in classrooms, improving academic performance of students and enabling instant assessment of learning outcomes in class. The program enabled teachers to use digital resources such as graphics, animations, 3 D images and video clips in addition to the chalk and talk methods of teaching in classroom. The Smartclass content repository consists of thousands of animated, lesson specific, 3D and 2D multimedia modules built with an instructor-led design that allows the teacher to effectively impart the lesson in a typical classroom of diverse set of learners. The Smartclass TM program uses technology to make a different classroom experience. A knowledge center set up at the school acts as the nerve-center of the network. It is connected through campus-wide network to the existing class rooms that simply turn into ETECs ( Educomp Technology Enabled Class rooms). The Smartclass package costs 50/60 lakh for schools with 30/40 classrooms. Its a huge investment for a school. But with the monthly installment arrangement Educomp made it possible for the schools to take the benefits of Smartclass program and foster quality education.
