The Aakash Educational Services ltd has launched the Aakash iTutor lab named as Virtual Classroom Centre (VCC). These labs will help disseminate the iTutor programme which is a tablet-based educational product combining the best of classroom learning and self study. Students will now be able to access these tablets through the iTutor labs for just `25 per hour.
This would especially benefit those students who cannot afford the cost of the tablets. iTutor lab enables the student to use the course material in the tablets, sitting in the lab itself. These labs are present in cities like Kota, Kanpur, Aurangabad, Bikaner etc. It is specifically designed for students aiming for the various Medical and Engineering entrance exams as well as for foundation level examinations such as NTSE, Olympiads etc. Students can also discuss and benefit from group study sessions, thus enables peer learning and cost efficiency.
Talking about the objective behind such an innovation, the director of Aakash Educational Services ltd, Aakash Chaudhary said: “Aakash iTutor labs or VCC have been introduced keeping in mind the overwhelming response for the iTutor tablets and to further the availability and affordability of the iTutor programme. A lot of students couldn’t reap the benefit of the technology as it was not within their means.
“This is an effort to reach maximum students as we believe that every student must have equal access to quality education. VCC will revolutionise the way education is delivered in this segment.”
