retail sale yet, it is available only for schools. Addressing the participants at the
launch, Rohit Pande, CEO, Classteacher
Learning Systems said, "Our education
system does not differentiate students
according to the learning capabilities
and teach them at the same level, but the software installed in Classpad tests
students' problem solving, creativity
and application of language skills. It
provides them with personalized
teaching as per their learning
capabilities. Equipped with artificial intelligence, Classpad can help to
categorize students as fast learners,
average learners and slow learners.
Classpad can assist in reducing the
monotony of repetitive sessions in the
classroom. Teachers can now complete their syllabus within
schedule and get considerable time to
focus on slow learners." Classpad is available for students in
standard 3 to 12th.
