Posted on 24th February 202317th May 2024 by Ayushi Agarwal

Personalized adaptive learning with PAL App, states of India

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a significant disruption in the education sector, leading to widespread learning loss among students. To mitigate this issue, many states in India have implemented personalized adaptive learning (PAL) to help students catch up on lost learning.

Haryana leads India with the adoption of tablet-based personalized learning. The state has implemented a tablet-based learning program for all 5 lakh government school students in classes 10 to 12. Rajasthan launched the largest Personalized and Adaptive Learning (PAL) program to recoup Covid-19 learning loss for 2 million students. Andhra Pradesh has also introduced a personalized adaptive learning system for 51 high schools. Other states too plan to adopt PAL app for school students in the coming years.

What is PAL?

PAL is a student-centred approach that tailors teaching methods, content, and pace to the unique learning needs of each student. This individualized approach can significantly improve the learning outcomes of students and help them cope with the learning level loss caused by the pandemic.

In this blog post, we will explore the iPrep PAL App for school students designed for enjoyable & personalized adaptive learning on tablets, notebooks, and mobile for 3rd to 12th all subjects in both English and Hindi medium.

What sets iPrep PAL app for school students apart from other digital learning solutions?

Based on Edtech Tulna Framework

iPrep PAL is based on the EdTech Tulna framework for Personalized Adaptive Learning and works both offline and online modes across various devices such as Tablets, Notebooks, and mobile devices.

Diagnostic Test

Every chapter has a diagnostic test that determines a personalized learning path with practice questions and remedial video lessons as per Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Practice with instant feedback

To help students cover their learning gaps and master each topic, iPrep PAL enables a combination of practice questions that provide feedback and remedial video content. Students can learn from their mistakes and receive additional guidance to improve their understanding of each topic. With this approach, iPrep PAL aims to ensure that students have a strong grasp of every topic covered, ultimately leading to better academic performance.

Access to the content of all grades

The learning path on the iPrep PAL app for school students is specifically designed to guide learners towards a connected sequence of topics from previous junior classes, enabling them to address any historical learning gaps and achieve proficiency in their grade level. By following this tailored path, students are provided with a comprehensive and cohesive learning experience.

Final Test

At the end of each chapter, students attempt a final test to assess if desired learning outcomes have been achieved. This test is designed to evaluate the student’s comprehension and retention of the learning material covered in the chapter. It also determines whether they have met the learning objectives.

Sync with the state’s DIKSHA platform

iPrep PAL app for school students can be synchronized with the state’s DIKSHA platform through an API, enabling seamless access to learning materials. Additionally, the platform can integrate usage reporting to a central MIS, providing insight into students’ engagement and performance.

iPrep Tablets for Individual Learning with Monitoring

Posted on 17th February 202325th April 2024 by Ayushi Agarwal

In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of learning tablets in schools as a means to enhance the teaching and learning experience. The adoption of tablet-based learning is driven by the need to overcome common challenges faced by teachers and students, such as poor attendance, low engagement, and a lack of personalization in the learning process. Educational tablets offer a range of features and functionalities that make them an ideal tool for modern-day classrooms, including interactive learning, instant feedback and so much more.

One of the best examples of it is the iPrep Tablet, a personal learning device preloaded with rich digital content from classes 1st to the 12th of all subjects with integrated reporting access to teachers and stakeholders.

Promoting Regional languages: The Need for Digital Content in Local Languages

Posted on 14th February 202314th February 2023 by Ayushi Agarwal

Promoting regional languages is important to preserve cultural heritage and promote linguistic diversity. One of the most effective ways to do this is by enabling access to learning content in local languages.

Local language content on iPrep by iDream Education

In India, where there are over 21 officially recognized languages, English is still the most preferred language in education. You might be surprised to learn that, despite being considered a language of the upper class in India, English is only spoken fluently by approximately 2% of the country’s population. A further 8% of the population may be able to understand English but need help to speak or write it correctly. On the other side, Hindi is India’s most widely spoken language, with around 45% of the population fluent or proficient in it. The remaining population is diverse, with many people speaking only their local languages.

Further, approximately 50-60% of consumers spend time on video content in Hindi, 35-43% in other languages, and only 5-7% in English. This indicates a significant demand for regional language internet video content, which is currently the preferred medium and is likely to continue in the future. Additionally, there is potential growth in demand for digital content in local languages in Tier 2 cities and rural areas in India.

Visionary Steps Taken to Promote Regional Languages in Education

Digitize education in India, PM Modi Ji

Digital India created a brand mirroring PM Modi’s ‘Jan-Jan Modi, Ghar-Ghar Modi’ of aspiration & inclusivity. Considering this, Edtech start-ups have started thinking of language inclusivity in their diverse innovations. While we at iDream education have defined language medium as our key focus areas of early-stage development of our digital learning solutions. We encourage learning in local languages to secure cultural identity, enable familiarity in learning and interactions, and help students gain an academic advantage. In line with the vision of Honorable PM Narendra Modi Ji, we envision facilitating access to learning and growth for all learners by enabling digital content in Hindi, English, and other regional languages on tablets, Chromebook, smart classes, and mobile.

Changes in National Education Policy (NEP 2020)

As per NEP 2020, the 14,500+ schools around the country will be developed into PM Shri Schools, with upgraded infrastructure, innovative pedagogy, and technology that would make them exemplary. Together with this, regional language will be a means of instruction to help students stay intact with their mother tongue. The vision of the entire Indian Education System has made it necessary for Edtech companies to include local language content.

We at iDream education have already been encouraging students and teachers to learn in their local languages. Some examples of it are digital content to more than 18000 students of Karnataka in learning in Kannada. Similarly, more than 12000 students and teachers from the schools of Maharashtra have been joyfully learning through digital syllabus books and video lessons in Marathi and so on.

Need for Enabling Digital Content in Regional Languages

Digital content in regional languages is important for enhancing the learning experience of students and teachers. Let’s explore ways digital content in regional languages can benefit students and teachers:

Improved learning outcomes: Students who have access to syllabus books in their native language are more likely to understand the lessons and perform better in school.
Increased engagement: When students can access digital content in their local language, they are more likely to be engaged and motivated in learning. When explained in language students are familiar with, lessons improve classroom dynamics and student-teacher relationships.
Bilingual classrooms: Digital content in regional languages can be very useful for establishing bilingual classrooms and promoting Bilingual education in India. This can help to bridge the gap between students who speak different languages and promote mutual understanding and respect.
Wide learning opportunities: Having digital content available in regional languages can greatly enhance teaching and learning by integrating in-school learning with at-home learning.

Every student and teacher has the right to access learning content in their preferred language to understand what is being learned, communicated, and practiced. To achieve this, we emphasize establishing bilingual classrooms in schools in India.

Transforming Lives: The Impact of Tablet-Based Learning on Education of Children with Special Needs

Posted on 3rd February 202319th June 2025 by Ayushi Agarwal

Earlier this year, when we visited Mook Badhir School in Indore, MP, to implement TabLab, we met teachers experiencing hearing loss teaching through sign language to students with hearing impairment. The positive attitude and sense of community within the school walls immediately struck us. As we walked through the classrooms, we saw students and teachers learn, laugh, and communicate with each other through sign language. It was a special place that gave all our team members a sense of motivation.

Implementation and Training of iPrep Digital Library with Tablets to Strengthen Education of Children with Special needs

As we arrived, we were greeted by the eager faces of students and teachers. We were there to implement the iPrep digital library, an easy-to-use and maintain Smart ICT Lab on Tablets with a charging rack, preloaded content & integrated Reporting for personalized learning in schools. The students and teachers were excited to see the tablets, and they quickly started navigating through the content. Some were excited to attempt practice, whereas some constantly played animated video lessons.

As soon as we started training on using iPrep App on tablets, the teachers began showing videos and explaining the concepts in sign language. The students were amazed to see the visuals, animations, and digital content in Hindi aligned with MP Board. The teachers noticed that the students were more engaged and interested in learning than ever.

The impact of digital content on teachers and students of Mook Badhir School

Increased classroom interaction: Tablets in Mook Badhir School help teachers create interactive classrooms where students attempt topic-wise practice and show achieved mastery to teachers, making learning interactive and enjoyable.
Increased engagement in learning: Visual representation of concepts and interactive elements have increased engagement in learning of children with special needs. All this is possible because teachers now play video lessons and communicate via sign language, making learning accessible and enjoyable.

The iPrep digital library has brought a ray of hope by setting up an enjoyable learning environment for children who were previously learning only through sign language.

Tablet-Based Learning in Mukhbadhir School in Indore, MP- — Experiencing the joy of learning with iPrep App on Tablets

While training, we could experience the joy of learning among school students. The teachers and principals felt inspired by the instant engagement of students with tablet-based learning. They said, “iPrep digital library would have a lasting impact on the education of students in the school.”

It was inspiring to see dedicated teachers providing education to hearing-impaired students through sign language and now with digital content on tablets. Therefore, we believe the integration of tablet-based learning has the potential to improve the quality of education for this population, as only 5% of hearing-impaired children receive basic schooling, and 1% have access to quality education.

This was a heartwarming story of how student-centric technology can break barriers and change how children with special needs Learn Unlimited.

Potential of Chromebooks in Schools to Drive the Future of Education

Posted on 11th January 20236th February 2023 by Ayushi Agarwal

Chromeooks in schools by iDream education,

As schools in India continue to adapt to the challenges and opportunities of the digital age, many are turning to Chromebooks as cost-effective and user-friendly digital learning solutions. The devices based on Google’s Chrome operating system offer a range of benefits for students and teachers alike, making them a key part of the future of education.

Maximize the teaching-learning potential with Chromebooks in Schools

Googlers took the first Chromebooks into schools in the U.S. for a pilot program in 2010. From this, it was found that teachers and students have embraced using Chromebooks in the classroom, providing each student with a device for personalized learning. The teachers believe that the Chromebooks in school have helped them transform the learning experience making learning more interactive, engaging, and personalized.

Google then expanded the Chromebook School programme in India. To accelerate the use of Chrome books in Indian schools, the company started with a Pilot in 4 schools in Andhra Pradesh to which Mr. Ponnala Lakshmaiah Ji, Ex-Minister for Information Technology and Communications for the state of Andhra Pradesh, said, “Chromebooks will lead to interactive learning, will make subjects interesting, leading to a better understanding of students.

chromebook in schools, Google Future Classroom initiative, idream education — The Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) enjoys the benefits of the innovative Google Future Classroom initiative

Similarly, when 147 schools of the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) benefited from the Google Future Classroom initiative, where Google implemented Chromebooks and Google Workspace, it was found that Chromebooks with students have increased curiosity among students. Now, they are able to understand concepts better. Not just students but teaching has also become easier for complex subjects like maths.

In the same context, Mr. Hari Narayanan, IAS, Commissioner of GVMC, said that with access to educational resources like Chromebooks, Google Workspace, and K-Yan, students had seen significant improvement in their performance. The use of educational technology has improved their grades by an average of 15% across all subjects. This, in turn, has also led to an increase in enrollment at the school of 12%.

Thus, to prepare students for a better future and deepen their digital skills, we at iDream Education designed Chromebook Lab. It is an easy-to-use and maintain Smart ICT Lab on Chromebooks with a Charging Rack, Preloaded Digital Content for K12 & Integrated Reporting for Personalized Learning in Schools. We are proud to be one of the digital learning solution providers compatible with Chromebooks.

Let us walk you through teachers’ views on using Chromebook

“I can easily create dynamic and engaging lessons to gain students’ attention and spark their curiosity.”
“Chromebooks in schools will help us in organizing collaborative learning activities and personalizing our teaching to each student.”
“All Chromebooks in one digital library will enable easy management of devices.”

The potential of Chromebooks in schools goes beyond just the classroom. Integrating Chromebooks will empower students to use digital content to understand better what is being taught in class and interact in classroom activities like reading comprehension, practice, and much more.

As more and more schools in India will adopt Chrome books and other digital learning solutions, it is clear that they have the potential to drive the future of education in the country, providing students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world.

Benefits of Incorporating a Tablet based Smart ICT Lab into the School Curriculum

Posted on 6th January 20236th September 2023 by Ayushi Agarwal

Smart ICT LAB, a digital library with tablets in schools of India

Smart ICT Labs are designed to eliminate complex computing equipment. It is an easy-to-use solution that aligns with the natural psychology of students and teachers, like smartphones. Because integrating familiar technology in schools enables easy adoption, resulting in regular usage.

We even experience this every time we implement iPrep Digital Library, which is easy to use and maintain Smart ICT Lab on Tablets with a Charging Rack, Preloaded Content & Integrated Reporting for Personalized Learning in Schools.

What happens when we first introduce a digital library, Tablet based Smart ICT Lab in Schools?

Teachers and students in most government schools have limited exposure to technology. Therefore, when we first introduce them to a tablet-based smart ICT lab, they get concerned that it is their replacement and, if not, whether it would fit into their regular teaching.

The answer is that digital learning solutions do not replace in-person teaching and learning. Being a part of the education ecosystem for years, we know the benefits of face-to-face interactions between students and teachers. Therefore, we say digital learning solutions complement traditional teaching methods and enhance the overall learning experience. One example of it is tablet based smart ICT Lab designed as per the revision of the ICT Lab Scheme by the Ministry of Education in 2019.

What is this revision about?

In 2018, the Ministry of Education (MoE) reviewed the usage, setup, and historical learning outcomes from the ICT & RMSA scheme, where computer labs were set up at thousands of government schools across states over the last decade. From the review, MoE noted that computers in govt schools were not in use because of complex hardware, difficult maintenance, electricity dependence, and many other infrastructural and psychological challenges. In revision, they added tablets/laptops/Chromebooks for ICT Lab to cope with and break all the barriers to learning.

Digital Library with Tablet/ Chromebook as per revised in ICT lab scheme — **Transforming learning with the convenience and accessibility of our digital library with tablets/ Notebooks**

Benefits of ICT Lab Scheme Revision

Tablets-based smart ICT labs are easy to set up, manage and use

Tablets-based smart ICT labs effectively address infrastructural challenges that schools face in implementing technology in the classroom. Smart ICT lab, which is a digital library with tablets, can easily be moved from one classroom to another because they are portable. This makes them a flexible solution for schools that do not have dedicated computer labs or sufficient space for traditional computers. Additionally, tablet-based smart ICT labs can be easily set up, eliminating the need for complex installations or specialized technical expertise. Furthermore, tablets are easy to manage and use and have user-friendly features.

Familiarity of teachers and students with tablet based learning solutions

Familiarity with tablet-based learning solutions is a significant factor in the success of using digital learning content in the classroom. Teachers and students who are familiar with mobile technology can effectively incorporate the use of tablet based learning in class. With a good understanding of how to use learning devices, teachers and students take full advantage of their educational potential and use tablets for digital learning.

Tablets make learning engaging and enjoyable for our students

With tablets, students get access to various digital learning content, including animated video lessons, digital books, audiobooks, and interactive practice with instant feedback, making learning easy, interactive, and engaging. In addition, tablets allow students to access information at the click of a button, making revision simpler and accessing content quickly, resulting in improved learning interests.

With the integration of tablet based learning in more than 10 states across India, we have found that interactive tablet based learning brings new life to lessons that might have otherwise been dry and boring. It has opened up a world of possibilities for our students and helped to prepare them to discover, learn, and thrive at their own pace.

G20 Summit 2023 prioritizes education said Dharmendra Pradhan

The G20 is an international forum comprising 19 countries and the European Union. In recent years, a particular focus of G20 has been on education, considering its importance in fostering economic growth and development.

Education is one of the priority areas of the G20 summit 2023

Now, as India will host the 2023 G20, education is expected to be one of the priority areas of discussion. This will provide an opportunity for India to showcase its education sector progress and collaborate with other G20 member countries on initiatives that aim to improve access to education, increase its quality, and promote innovation.

Our Honourable PM Narendra Modi Ji and Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan have emphasized on the importance of education and its role in promoting economic growth and development in India.

Considering the G20 summit 2023 opportunity, Narendra Modi Ji conceptualized a “Unique Interactive Programme – Pariksha Pe Charcha.” Here, students, parents, and teachers across the nation will get the opportunity to interact with him and discuss the ways to overcome the stress of examinations to celebrate life as an Utsav.

Similarly, on Wednesday, in reference to, G20 Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan Ji said, “Education is one of the priority areas of the G20 summit 2023” He called for widespread preparations for the G20 summit in India.

Creating an Engaging and Enjoyable Teaching Experience with Smart Class Setup in Schools of UP, MP and Haryana

Posted on 17th October 20229th April 2024 by Ayushi Agarwal

PC Free smart class in for haryana, govt. schools for digital teaching

ntegrating smart classroom technology into schools brings exciting opportunities for interactive learning. However, traditional setups, such as computer labs and projector-based smart classes, leads to various challenges for schools and teachers. These include logistical issues, like setup time and maintenance, as well as the resistance to change from teachers accustomed to conventional teaching methods. Despite recognizing the potential benefits, many schools struggle to effectively implement and utilize smart class devices. Let’s explore one example to understand these challenges better.

Example of underutilized ICT Lab in school of Haryana

Govt. Sr. Sec. School Nangal Jamalpur in Rewari, Haryana, has had a computer lab for many years, but it is not used regularly. Most of the computers are covered in dust, some are even treated like junk. When teachers were asked why they don’t use it for teaching, one said, “It’s really tough to take students there every day. And even if we manage, it takes lot of time to set up everything and then teach with it.” Even though they know using smart technology can help students learn better, they prefer the old-fashioned blackboard and textbooks because it’s easier. But they don’t want to put in the effort for something that eats up half their time just to start teaching with it.

Seeing this situation, members of the End Poverty NGO who closely work with schools and teachers expressed the need for a more effective way to utilize the funds and digital resources provided to government schools.

What did they do?

At that moment, the NGO partnered with iDream Education to introduce the iPrep Digital class in government schools across 16 districts in Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh.

In the mentioned school, teachers requested a Smart class setup in their Chemistry Lab. Upon our return for a follow-up visit after training, the teachers showcased experiments on a large screen while students simultaneously conducted the same experiments in the lab.

Digital is now becoming a natural part of teaching, and the hardware, along with the digital content has begun to be used regularly by the teachers for experimental videos, academic video lessons, and also for tracking their own usage of digital content through a reporting dashboard. This implementation of digital classrooms successfully eliminated the infrastructural and psychological challenges that limit the use of technology by teachers.

But how did this happen?

Unlike a computer lab or a conventional smart class setup that requires a lot of accessories, an iPrep Digital Class is a single equipment Smart Class that is set up using either an Interactive Flat Panel Display or Smart TV for classrooms.

A smart class setup in UP, MP and Haryana by iDream Education in collaboration with End Poverty NGO. The image shows a well-equipped classroom with smart tv indicating a digital learning environment

In this collaboration with End Poverty NGO, we implemented a 50inch Mi TV smart class setup, which just requires a wall in the room or lab to hang the TV with one stand and 4 screws. It is a simple setup process that the local electrician can easily perform in less than 30 minutes.

Reaction of Teachers Towards a Smart Class Setup

When teachers saw smart class setup, they thought if it’s that simple to set up, then using and handling it shouldn’t be hard either. And that’s exactly what they witnessed when we began the training. Just like they use the TV at home, in a similar way, they accessed the TV in their school and used digital content with their remote in front of us.

One teacher at the end of our training came forward and said,

“…Oh, with content, its display is also in Hindi. Glad! I would be able to navigate through it very easily; as you can see, the settings on my phone are also in Hindi….”

Therefore, we say iPrep Digital Class in the form of PC Free Smart Class setup. It fits the natural psychology of teachers using a TV in their homes. Plus, we implemented smart classes with offline digital content on iPrep, removing their dependence on the internet. They just need to plug the Pendrive, play their lesson videos, and teach through it.

The Result

Teachers no longer resist using technology for teaching. In fact, they have happily supplemented their classroom teaching with digital content provided in the Smart Class setup. Regular usage with no hassles has enabled them to increase classroom engagement. They now strongly believe that they would also be able to achieve improvement in educational outcomes.

At iDream Education, we continue to support schools, students, and teachers through our different digital learning and teaching solutions.
