LEAD Launches MasterClass with Celebrated Subject Experts to Provide Life Skills to Students

First session conducted by renowned author Chetan Bhagat for 8 lakh students at partner schools

Mumbai June 08, 2021: At a time when prolonged school closures have disrupted learning opportunities for students, EdTech major LEAD has launched MasterClass - a unique initiative for students to acquire real life skills from celebrated subject experts. The first such virtual learning session, to prepare students beyond exams, was organised for eight lakh students across 2000+ partner schools with renowned author Chetan Bhagat.

The initiative will provide an opportunity for students to learn from the journey and success of subject experts including celebrities and renowned personalities. LEAD will be regularly hosting such sessions every month for the benefit of students.

During the first session held on June 6, Bhagat shared tips on creative writing, story structure, characterisation, genres, elements of story, art of visualisation of character among others to help students with deeper insights on how these skills can be pursued professionally. He shared tips with students on how they can hone their skills to write, be it for films, documentaries, TV shows as well as publish books.

LEAD Co-founder & CEO Sumeet Mehta said --

With LEAD MasterClass, we want to bring experiences and learning for students in small towns, that otherwise would be inaccessible to them. Our mission to bring equity in education and LEAD MasterClass democratizes exposure and opportunity.

LEAD Chief Marketing Officer Anupam Gurani said, “It is important for schools to engage students and provide them with learning that prepares them not just for exams but also for life. Real life skills have become more critical now as the pandemic has limited the opportunities for students to explore their interests and pursue their passion. LEAD MasterClass will address this gap and not just provide fun learning sessions to engage students but also equip them with skill sets from successful and renowned experts.”

Each month, LEAD’s MasterClass will have skill-based themes such as Yoga, Public Speaking, Mental Maths etc. to name a few currently under consideration. Every session will be power-packed with inspiring stories, live Q&A sessions with celebrity and instructors, engagement in forms of quizzes, discussion sessions, live fun activities and take-home assignments to keep them engaged.

EduBrisk starts Classroom to Virtual Classroom program that enables schools to go live within 24 hours

EduBrisk; a brain-friendly educational solutions platform to schools and students today announced the beginning of their revolutionary educational program ‘Classroom to Virtual Classroom within the next 24 hours’  that will enable schools and freelance teachers go live within 24 hours.

EduBrisk has invested in high-quality human resource to start this education program in India and have on-boarded 30 schools since Lockdown to name a few GD Goenka Public School-Siliguri, QMS Schools-Kolkata, St Peters- Ernakulam, Al Ameen Public School-Kochi, Guardian Public School-Kochi, Shantiniketan Indian School-Qatar, Guardian Public School-Kochi, National Central School Adoor, BPMS, Trivandrum, Paradise Public School, Varkala etc  that are going live with the help of this virtual program. They are also planning to on-board 150 schools within the span of 2 months. For the program they have tied –up using multiple third party videoconference tools based on Schools preference.

The process begins once the respective school reaches out to EduBrisk and provides the download of their data which includes; teacher profiles, student profiles and parent profiles.   Post the reception of the data EduBrisk conducts a School Teacher Empowerment Program (STEP) for all Teachers designated by the School that takes around 24 working hours. At the end of the workshop, the designated Teachers are well-versed with the processes and methodologies of EduBrisk, leading to higher motivation, and reduced teacher-training costs.

Post the completion of the program, once the schools prepare and share their scheduled timetables, EduBrisk provides the meeting platform along with the respective content. The link for the Virtual Classes will then be shared by the Class Teacher to their students, enabling them to log on using either a Laptop, Tablet, or Mobile Phone. Once the session is LIVE, the Teacher marks the attendance of the students present, similar to the attendance process followed in physical classrooms as well as using  Virtual Classroom Feature in EduBrisk Platform to track usage of teachers and students and test report of students classwise and individually.

Thereafter, students can interact with the Teacher LIVE using the Chat feature that comes as a standard within the security-enabled video conferencing tool being used (Microsoft Teams, Zoom, WebEx, GoToMeetings, etc) based on respective schools preference. At the end of the session, the recorded version of the interaction will be shared by the Teacher, which students can access for review and revision.

Speaking on the momentous occasion, Mr. Saiju Aravind, Founder of EduBrisk Knowledge Solutions stated that, “Very often constraints bring out the best in us. A couple of months back could  we have fathomed empowering the 3 stake holders in the school ecosystem with the state of the art teaching-learning-testing and analytics based interventions in just 24 hours??!! 

And to our own pleasant surprise, it’s happening every day. Virtual classes and regular classes would become seamlessly integrated in the coming period of two months Revolution in Education has begun.
