"ConnectEd ‘Smart Classroom System’ is a standalone, solar-powered, dust-and-damage resistant device that has been specifically designed to improve learning environments in rural classrooms and academic performance of the children studying therein.

This system – deployed on a per-class basis – is a robust teacher-aid product that works flawlessly in demanding rural conditions and supports educators as they teach various subjects, chapters and concepts; allowing them to integrated tailor-made multimedia educational content into their usual teaching processes.

Technically speaking, the ‘Smart Classroom System’ is quite advanced and robust, however, we've made the device so simple to operate that it starts at the touch of a single button and can be operated using a simple remote control, requiring no expertise or elaborate training. The device is an all-integrated solution, which means you don’t need a computer, UPS or any other hardware.

The content pushed through these projectors is produced by ConnectEd Technologies in-house – adhering to the state board curriculum, though utilizing world-class pedagogy – and is tailor-made for school children in rural areas, keeping in mind their surroundings, sensibilities and understanding levels."

The innovation

THE INNOVATION

"Our analysis of the education sector – particularly, the rural schooling and vocational training segments of the industry – has brought to our notice the lack of educational solutions that are tailored to produce results amongst underprivileged youth. Although this audience adds up to a majority of the Indian population, most players in the industry choose to create products for audiences in urban and semi-urban cities, as they provide easy and better returns.

We, at ConnectEd, are committed to producing top-notch educational and vocational training content, tailored to the sensibilities of rural and underprivileged youth in India. While our primary product is the educational content we produce; we pair our content with reliable and affordable hardware, thereby creating solutions that are ‘rural-friendly’ and meant to improve understanding and performance.

An independent study conducted by HR College of Commerce & Economics (Mumbai University) pointed out to a 6.9% improvement in understanding levels of key concepts, on account of the tailor-made content and rural-friendly technologies created and deployed by ConnectEd Technologies. This figure was derived by analyzing understanding levels of 7,607 students; half of whom were exposed to our content and half of whom weren’t."
