This online Teacher Assistant is different!

Ludhiana, February 25, 2016: In this digital competitive age, where Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) aims for higher grades for its students, thanks to ever-growing parental expectations from their kids and schools, teaching and learning in India have seen a drastic change during the last few years, at least in some elite schools.
While some schools are fully equipped with the state-of-the-art computer labs and others still in their nascent modernization stage, and slowly catching on, students and teachers today are all fortified with laptop-notebooks and smart-phones. Yes, everybody seems to have graduated from traditional chalk-and-board teaching and learning to technology-assisted learning.
Catching up with the Western world where technology is today leading educational innovations, Indian schools have started taking baby-steps towards assessments of learning. TCYonline, India’s number one testing platform has come to their rescue with an assessment solution being increasingly adopted by progressive schools.
Win-win for all:
The company’s offering, commonly known as Teacher Assistant program for CBSE schools (Class VI to X, Maths and Science) has created a buzzword of sorts all over the country. It brings all the stake-holders in the education of a child - students, teachers, parents and principals – towards a common goal and gives customized suggestions for them. In a way it is win-win for all.
A test follows the completion of each module of a chapter at school. The assessment engine generates actionable reports to guide students, parents and teachers. The end-result is assured improvements in students with corrective action by the stakeholders.
Students know 'where they stand' test after test. They get to know topics mastered topics to improve on and performance relative to other students. In this way they can benchmark themselves with similar students in his class, city, state and throughout India. Parents know 'where exactly to help'. They get actively involved as they know how their child is doing, know his improvement areas and feel empowered to help him.
On the other hand, teachers, for whom this teaching tool is made for, can ‘individualise learning'. They get in-depth analysis to know student’s strengths/weaknesses, identify common misconceptions and arrange effective remedial classes. Principals get ‘real-time control' over academics. They get snapshots of the entire school, on relative performance of the school, how each class is progressing and how each teacher is performing.
According to CBSE experts, the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) of students is the key to scientific and objectiveevaluation of their performance throughout the academic year. Instead of waiting for the final exam papers, students should be quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated throughout the year. This saves the students too from undue pressure close to final exams. So, in such a scenario this Teacher Assistant program proves quite useful.
Success secret:
“Our technology and strong backend support that makes customized learning happen in institutions is our success secret pan-India and we would continue to strive for excellence in the years to come,” says the CEO of
Top Careers & You (TCY), Mr. Kamal Wadhera. Emphasizing on the importance of strict quality control where the future of lakhs of students is at stake, he adds, “We have developed a very intelligent algorithm and our content is very deeply tagged to the granular level for microscopic analysis of each and every student.”
It is pertinent to mention that before going the whole hog with the program, the company had trial-runs for about a year or so in Punjab and Delhi. Though some schools were initially somewhat skeptical about the program because of lack of computer labs and two half hour slots per week availability, things began to brighten up once the schools fully understood the benefits.
