Updated on: Wednesday, December 28, 2011

Former Indian cricket captain and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee chairman Kris Srikkanth is well on his way to complete his vision of making popular his innovative e-learning platform edustrokes.com. Already over 100 schools have been tied up and plans are on to reach the 500 mark by December, 2012.

“The response is amazing. Within a year of the product launch, the programme has been successfully implemented and used in more than 100 reputed schools including central government institutes like Kendriya Vidyalaya and Navodaya and top private schools,” said Srikkanth.

From a qualified engineer who took to cricket as his career, the online tool is not the ordinary. It intends on helping students learn mathematics and science in a much simpler way, through the language of cricket and other sports.

“This has encouraged us to take yet another stride to go digitising the teaching concepts also for the benefit of matriculation school students across the country,” he added.

Holistically digitised, the pedagogy’s unique content is meticulously devised for CBSE students of Class IV to X. It provides theme-based learning advantage generating interest with illustrations and details based on cricket, football, tennis, badminton, chess, etc.

Each learning object comprises audio-video component, text-visual elements and quizzes and other interactivities for facilitating in-depth and better understanding of even complex things easily.

“As sport is a fascinating medium, edustrokes.com has become a big hit with students who easily relate to, and understand the concepts. It is easier to drive home the point, say, the concepts of force, friction, velocity, etc, through interesting explanations and examples via sports rather than reaching out with Newton’s laws which is a more customary preachy way,” Srikkanth said.

Audio-video session allows live interaction with teachers and coaches through video-audio and text chat modes. Phoning in facet for doubt clarification during the interactive Question & Answer sessions gives more functional edge.

Assignment and tests for each module, constant upgradation and enhancement of content regularly in the ongoing process and course completion certificate at the end of the course by edustrokes.com makes the tool more dynamic and advantageous in e-learning.
