Hyderabad: Edutor
Technologies, a Hyderabad-based technology company serving the
education market, Monday announced the launch of its 'Augmented
Classroom Solution' (ACS) designed for use in Android-based touch
devices.
The IIT-IIM alumni venture aims to reach out to 20,000 to 30,000
students in five cities over the next 18 month. It already has
presence in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Delhi and plans to expand to
Mumbai and Chennai.
CEO of Edutor Technologies Ram Gollamudi told reporters that they
ultimately plan to target 1.5 million students by 2015.
Claiming that ACS has already grabbed the market attention, Ram
said that 800 students of Meridian and Delhi Public School will
use the solution this academic year. Well-established coaching
institute Aakash and Hyderabad-based PAGE Institute will also
introduce Edutor ACS.
"We are in advance talks with many other schools and institutes,"
he added. The solution is priced between Rs.1,500 to Rs.2,000
while the Edutor tablet costs Rs.7,000. However, the user can
choose only the solution and integrate it with any Android-based
tablet.
He believes ACS is an answer to how tablet PCs can be made
purposeful in an education ecosystem. "With our solution inside,
the tablet PCs augment the learning experience of the students in
a whole new way."
"We believe integration of learning materials on intuitive touch
devices will strengthen teacher as well as student effort to
enhance homework and study assessment process. The solution has
the potential to lighten the schoolbag and empower education."
The key feature of Edutor Augmented Classroom Solution is its
ability to integrate learning material exactly as per school
syllabus inside the touch screen devices. This includes digitised
textbooks, multi-media material, interactive concept-maps and
assessment.
According to Frost & Sullivan, the tablet PC user base in India
has increased from 60,000 units in 2010 to 300,000 in 2011. The
overall tablet PC user base is likely to grow at 107 percent to
reach 23.38 million by 2017.
