Amrita Learning is a computer-based 'adaptive learning' program in English and Mathematics. It provides interactive, audiovisual supplementary education[1] for children of three-and-a-half years to 7th grade, for home and classroom use. Developed in collaboration with Amrita University, the content of this research-based[2] software is in line with the NCERT[2]/CBSE[1] syllabi.[3]
Under the 'Adaptive Assessment' concept, as a student learns, s/he is continually assessed by the programme and the software adapts to their level.[4] "The programme is also being used at some schools to administer the CBSE mandated Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE). Teachers can replace a large portion of paper-based CCE with computer based assessment. After the teacher teaches a set of topics in the classroom, students are immediately taken to the computer and evaluated. Students who have mastered one topic move on to the next level, and those who have not mastered a topic are provided with more practice."[2]
