Online Learning Solutions to Augment Learning

In this fiercely competitive world, achieving academic success is not so easy and imparting education comes with its own set of challenges. Thankfully, at the nick of time, online learning came to our rescue!

Education is one of the most popular sectors dominating the Indian industry. Touted to be the third largest e-learning market, top brands are seeing great opportunities in the Indian education sector. In a hot market like this, leading digital learning solutions provider ‘Extramarks’ has made a huge headway. The brand is known to offer an assortment of online/offline learning solutions for students from the K-12 segment and beyond.

How it all started?

It began way back in 2007 with the initiative of Chairman and CEO of Extramarks ‘Atul Kulshrestha,’ who had spent a significant part of his career as a Chartered Accountant. His interest, however, always laid in the field of education and technology.

Amalgamation of strategic leadership and passion for technology, culminated in the inception of ‘Extramarks.’ The brand was conceived with the aim to empower students and teachers with a new-age learning solution to make education in India smart, engaging and interactive.

Extramarks – Revolutionizing Education in India

Extramarks set its base in Noida, India, and produced products and services inculcating the essence of the company’s motto - ‘Education Made Easy and Effective.’ The company leveraged disruptive technology to cater to the learning needs of the current generation and customized their solutions accordingly. Extramarks’ contemporary learning approach helped overcome the challenges being faced in the traditional learning environment.

The brand soon established supremacy in the education sector without ‘entirely’ replacing the age-old, traditional teaching approach. Extramarks dismissed the unnecessary burden of physical study materials like textbooks, blackboards etc. and brought in smart learning modules, smart boards and a host of other in-school and after-school learning solutions, backed by modern technology.

Extramarks’ Unique Pedagogy

Extramarks condemns the practice of ‘rote learning,’ which makes learning dull and unproductive. Hence, it adopts a unique pedagogy of Total Learning^TM which follows the three-pronged approach of:

-          Learn: Comprehensive explanation of concepts through an array of engaging multimedia study materials

-          Practice: Reinforcement of concepts through interactive tools and exercises

-          Test: Thorough evaluation and analysis of the concepts learnt

Extramarks has reached out to millions of students and teachers since it started out in 2007. The brand provides an extensive repository of engaging, multimedia-rich study materials, videos, animations and more, mapped with the curriculum of ICSE/CBSE/NCERT. Extramarks has grown by leaps and bounds, largely through the word-of-mouth popularity.  From elementary to CBSE class 10 to test-prep for entrance examinations, Extramarks provides quality learning solutions for all.

E-Learning to M-Learning

The growth of smartphones led Extramarks to shift its focus to a new segment of learners that are hooked to mobile devices. It introduced on-the-go learning that would narrow down all the learning gaps by launching Extramarks Smart Study App and Smart Study Tablet. This made learners download the curriculum-mapped learning solutions on their mobile phones or access them on a tablet, enabling learners to study at their own pace and time.

Extramarks learning solutions are not restricted to K-12 learners. With products like Toddlers (Learning Tablet for kids up to 4 years), EMILLY (English Learning App for Hindi speakers), the products and solutions cater to learners of varied age groups and varied knowledge requirements.

The brand continues to work closely with educators and students to fill the learning gaps that remained unfulfilled for ages till now. So far, Extramarks has ventured into 6 international markets - South Africa, Kuwait, Indonesia, Singapore, Qatar, and UAE; and aims to increase its presence in more areas.
