Learning made fun
Imagine if your child’s many dozen text books could be collated into one lightweight, handheld device. Edutor Technologies, a Hyderabad-based start-up, has done just that. Its Edutor Advantage e40 is a home-learning gadget that comes preloaded with CBSE and ICSE school curricula for classes III-IX. The 4.3-inch touchscreen device engages the eyes, ears and touch to make school lessons simpler and more fun. Smartly, there’s no internet or Bluetooth connectivity, ensuring students aren’t distracted as they go through the wide range of lessons on multiples formats, like an audio visual on how to calculate the area of a triangle. To keep in sync with CBSE’s continuous comprehensive evaluation, the Advantage e40 also has a range of practice tests for selfassessment. “Much of the innovation in India’s education system has been around teaching aids. The emergence of touch-screen technology presents an opportunity to revolutionise learning materials,” says Ram Gollamudi, co-founder of Edutor Technologies. Already 3,000 units of the device have been sold in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. The company now wants to target the rural market.
