Technology enabled learning

Despite high school enrolment in India, many students don't learn effectively & fall behind their grade level. Research suggests computer-assisted learning can help. Ei Mindspark, a personalised adaptive learning tool, caters to students' individual learning needs by grasping misconceptions & making differentiated paths. It enables Teaching at Right Level, with students learning at their own pace.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Indian classrooms are heterogenous, with teachers not able to focus on each student. This causes many to lag in FLN skills and often fall below grade-level expectations. Rote learning & insufficient teacher training add to the issue. We created Ei Mindspark to help students learn at their own pace, level. Our aim is to create a world where children everywhere are learning with understanding.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Mindspark uses Ai-based algorithms to enable personalised learning for students. Using Ei’s two decades of expertise in EdTech & student assessments, it identifies base learning levels through screening tests and adjusts the learning paths with each question in Math, English and language.
Its adherence to school curriculum, insights from student usage and question accuracy help teachers to both take control of the activation of topics and address the learning gaps within their classroom. Its implementation in all settings helps students from all demographics access quality learning. Being device agnostic, it can be set up in school computer labs & after-school centres, and also accessed remotely across digital devices, both through browsers and mobile applications. On-ground training & teacher capacity building lead to ICT integration in schools.
3rd-party evaluations have shown that it delivers at least 2x the learning gains compared to non-users, and it does so cost-effectively.

How has it been spreading?

In 2017, Ei Mindspark had a little over 12,000 users in India. Today, more than 500,000 students across the country use it. In UAE and South Africa, we have grown 500% and 100% respectively in last two years. By adapting to the changing landscape during the COVID-19 pandemic and recognizing the need for at-home solutions, we made it accessible to students remotely. Currently, over 3,00,000 students use Mindspark in after-school programs and at-home across India, UAE and Africa. In last decade, we addressed barriers that impeded EdTech adoption in resource-limited settings and tackled challenges by engaging with stakeholders and establishing optimal support structures. We're targeting 10 million students by 2030, along with generating public knowledge around usage & procurement of Ed-Tech.

The availability of ICT infrastructure (desktop/Chromebooks/tab) is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of Project Mindspark. Ei conducts a detailed scoping activity at the time of program commencement and identify the accurate ICT requirement/top-up needed in the identified schools.
Setting up of Learning labs
This includes quality checks for the computer lab, with infrastructure and systems and processes of student management, creating Mindspark login IDs for the program, creation and maintenance of inviting learning space, timetable integration of the Mindspark sessions etc.
Premium Learning Content
Scientifically designed Educational Content is made available as part of the Mindspark ecosystem following the NCERT guidelines and state board requirements. Content is in the form of interactive videos, games, stories, and assessments, for Math, Language and English
Academic monitoring
This includes on-field monitoring of the sessions of children for technical or learning difficulties and sharing progress reports with principals/teachers.
Training & Support
Extensive on-ground training and Capacity Building of teachers and administration for effective implementation of the program.
Web-based customized data dashboard
Used for reporting and monitoring. It allows for real-time tracking of student progress, providing valuable insights for teachers and administrators. The dashboard is designed to be user-friendly and provides detailed data for analysis, facilitating informed decision-making to enhance the learning experience.
