Mumbai, September 24, 2009: Helix Technology Solutions, a fast-growing e-Learning company which creates innovative and student friendly computer based learning products has announced the launch of its proprietary software LearnNext in Mumbai. LearnNext is a computer based learning aid for CBSE students to learn from the comfort of their homes without requiring internet connection.

LearnNext is 100% aligned to the NCERT syllabus and guidelines. LearnNext content is designed to increase students’ understanding of the subject. With extensive use of 2D/3D animations, real life examples, experiments and extensive practice questions, it has an extensive performance monitoring mechanism, which evaluates students and lets them compare their performance at an all-India level. Parents can monitor their child’s performance and take corrective actions. LearnNext offers unbeatable benefits not only to the students but also to their concerned parents who can monitor their children’s progress even when they are away on work, and if necessary can take corrective measures for their future learning. It does not require internet connection thus allowing a student the freedom to study wherever he or she wishes to, even while on vacation or an outing. Students also get their online account, which they can use to be part of forum discussion or even ask question from a panel of experts to resolve any queries they might have. Compared to tuition which costs about Rs 500/- per month, LearnNext is available at Rs 999/- per subject per year which is Rs 83 /- per month.

There are around 11,000 CBSE schools in India with approximately 50 lakh students who can benefit from LearnNext because it will bring an innovative learning aid to the reach of these students for studying complicated subjects like Mathematics, Science as well as Social Studies.

Commenting on the launch of LearnNext, Mr. Jai De Costa, Director, Marketing and Business Development, Helix Technology Solutions said, “LearnNext (http://www.learnnext.com/) offers clear value proposition for CBSE students from Class 06th to Class 10th, both in terms of learning as well as cost saving. It can completely transform a student’s understanding of complex subjects like Mathematics, Science and Social Studies with the help of Audio-Visual support. Through LearnNext the students will also be able to track their own performances as per their individual need for self-evaluation and progress”.

Mr. De Costa also stated, “LearnNext offers features like Visual Learning which makes the learning process more fun and easy for the students. LearnNext allows students to set their own pace as per their needs”.

LearnNext has been developed by a team of 400 technology professionals and 60 expert academicians over a period of 2 years. It has a number of interactive features, such as study planner - that makes a customizable timetable; a chapter-wise live lab wherein the students can conduct real-time experiments, and can assess themselves as well. Its performance tracker assists them by tracking their performance based on lesson coverage, examples, and experiments, which further help them in analyzing their weak areas.

With CBSE’s emphasis on Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) and HOTS, students will need to work towards understanding the concepts better rather than rote learning. Keeping these developments in mind, LearnNext is set to emerge as students’ best study companion. Students can effectively use LearnNext to understand concepts better, do interactive experiments, practice questions and effectively assess themselves throughout the year.
