dVidya FreeSkool : On-line Teaching from Home to Class XI-XII Students

Internet – The Big Hearted Benevolent

In the Internet age, we have witnessed the trend of providing free services to users. Users receive a variety of services, at no charge. For example, in daily life, people search for information, send messages, communicate with others, etc. This model of providing free services was unimaginable before the digital age. In those days, only non-profit organizations or governments could provide free services.

Likewise, the dVidya FreeSkool Project provides free learning resources and services to high school students, focusing on rural areas and small towns, where good learning opportunities are limited, and not affordable for all. dVidya is a self-sustaining, self-funded project. It charges no fees to students, and also offers cash awards to deserving students. Additionally, dVidya provides a collaboration platform for teachers, authors, and other service providers. They work together to propagate and promote education to all segments of society. The project encourages authors and teachers to contribute learning materials and student support, working from their own place, and earn money.

Students and Teachers may visit  https://dvidya.com and enroll themselves through the  Message pop up box on the site.

On -line Coaching by Teachers

Private Coaching: Students mainly learn at school. However, often students need additional support for Doubts Clearing or Assistance. For this they seek help from Private Teachers, or Tutorial Homes, for additional personal support. They interact with the Teacher face to face and get the problem solved. 

Limitations of Traditional Class room Coaching : However, class room coaching is not scalable. Only limited students can be accommodated in a class room. Fees of all classroom coaching is high. Students in far places may not join.  So, even long experienced private Tutors, teaching in traditional method in pen paper & chalk and board, are gradually losing students

Paucity of Students : New student enrolment is difficult, particularly for new tutors, in rural areas where students population is limited, and often not affordable for them. So, teacher’s income is limited. The repetitive work is boring and unproductive.

On-line Coaching : However, with gradual proliferation of smart phones and easy access to various digital devices, students are increasingly using digital media for learning. An on-line Tutor can teach unlimited number of students around the world, round the clock, with multifold income!

So, Young Teachers, proficient in digital media, are gradually moving towards digital media. Coaching Centres are employing professionals to create  their own contents.

Individual Teachers: However, creating digital contents is expensive, requires technical knowledge. So, Teachers cannot create good quality contents in digital form.
