Champs of tomorrow
The idea of learning through the internet is new in the country and champs21.com has been a pioneer in this regard. Champs21 is an e-learning platform for Bangladeshi school students from grade 3 to grade 10. It offers an online self-assessment test service for students to assess their strengths and weaknesses in Mathematics and Science towards strengthening their academic foundation. According to Russell T Ahmed, the CEO of TeamCreative Ltd of champs21.com, "Education is the only medium that creates new leaders. But learning has not always been fun. With champs21.com, there are ample opportunities for our future leaders to enjoy every second of learning." Champs21.com has been launched with time-bound assessment tests to complement students' classroom learning. Currently available to English medium students, Champs21 plans to rollout its second phase in January 2011 for Bangla medium students all over the country. The interactive portal is a great tool for exam preparation allowing students to take test anytime, anywhere, at their own pace. Instant result with performance feedback and answer analysis is provided with a graphical presentation both to the students and their parents. The system allows pupils to know their position among all the other students of their batch across all schools. It also allows students to track their performance periodically and assess their performance in a particular subject. Teachers can give assignments and homework through Champs21 and parents can monitor their children's performance by notification emails sent to them by the system. For a student or a parent who buys the license of Champs21, the service scores high on affordability with cost as low as Tk. 10 per day. For subscribing to this service for the first time, one has to create an account in champs21.com, select class and subjects, put relevant information and enter a subscription code before hitting the 'purchase' button. This subscription code is available in a vibrant Champs21 pack in many bookshops and selected retail outlets in Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet.
