Teachers can impart education through a combination of text, animations and videos

Bangalore: With an aim to make classroom learning interesting and interactive, pioneers in the education sector Macmillan Publishers India Ltd. and Edurite Technologies have come together to offer high quality visual learning aids for schools in the country.

Using DigitALLy, teachers can impart education in classrooms through a combination of text, animations, videos and images projected on the screen. The use of audio-video will capture the imagination of children and help them understand and appreciate various topics, thus making learning fun and interesting. Edurite Technologies, the Indian arm of TutorVista, will use its patented DigitALLy, while Macmillan Publishers India will be reaching DigitALLy to schools under its Macmillan SchoolSupport programme.

Meena Ganesh, Chief Executive Officer, Edurite Technologies, said: “There is a great need for quality education in India, but there are not enough means to meet this demand. Edurite is passionate about providing children with quality education and empowering them. This tie-up brings together two credible industry stalwarts for the first time in the country. We hope to not just see the spread of literacy but knowledge in India.”

Rajeev Beri, Managing Director, Macmillan Publishers India Ltd, said: “Access to quality education is a right of every child. However, the current practices in the education system have their limitations. We are confident that the combination of Edurite’s technology driven learning methods and Macmillan’s proven strengths in providing top quality content and its vast presence, will optimise learning in classrooms. This venture is a part of Macmillan’s endeavour to be at the forefront of technology-enabled, enhanced school education.” Technology and comprehensive content used in DigitALLy / I Classroom offers content, based on a range of syllabi of different States.
