Rohit Pande, a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology-Delhi (IIT-D) and Indian Institute of Management- Calcutta (IIM-C) comes back to his alma mater to launch his latest innovation Classpad. With his academic background Rohit, plans to make education accessible to each student according to one’s own merit and intellect.

Classpad facilitates personalized and interactive learning in the classroom and makes education accessible to every student according to his/ her individual intelligence level and talent. Using the Classpad, teachers can transfer class work to the students’ tablet, share their own content instantly and conduct tests/ assessments. Students can also give undivided attention to class lessons, attempt assessments and get results to further enhance their learning. Classpad has a touch screen with a 7 hour battery life, 1.3 Ghz processing speed and a built-in memory of 4 GB expandable upto 8 GB.

Addressing the participants at the launch, Mr. Rohit Pande, CEO, Classteacher Learning Systems said, “Our education system does not differentiate students according to the learning capabilities and teach them at the same level, but the software installed in Classpad tests students’ problem solving, creativity and application of language skills. It provides them with personalized teaching as per their learning capabilities. Equipped with artificial intelligence, Classpad can help to categorize students as fast learners, average learners and slow learners. Classpad can assist in reducing the monotony of repetitive sessions in the classroom. Teachers can now complete their syllabus within schedule and get considerable time to focus on slow learners.” Classpad is available for students in standard 3 to 12.
