Exploring the treasure trove
Champs21 re-launches the website
Except for a chosen few, most of the students are known to dread facing the exams and longer hours of study. As nowadays students are more interested in chatting on social networking sites or playing online games rather than going through the agonies of memorising a number of tedious textbooks, the internet has often been accused of distracting students from their studies. However, with its collection of enormous academic resources, internet can become a treasure trove to acquire knowledge if explored by the students. Though the concept of e-learning is still quite new for many students in Bangladesh, the idea is gradually earning popularity with the advent of Champs21.com, the first ever e-learning web portal exclusively designed for the Bangladeshi students. After successfully organising the first ever inter-school online quiz competition in Bangladesh, 'Brain Brats 2011', Champs21 has recently re-launched its website with a number of new and exciting features through which students can make learning a fun experience. In the new Champs21website students of class 3 to 10 from both Bengali and English medium schools will get to build up their science and math skills through a number of tests, quizzes, puzzles and study lessons with explanations. The science and math tests are designed according to the school syllabus so that a student can relate to them very easily and can outsmart his or her friends in class while having fun. Besides lessons from the textbooks, Champs21 has also introduced many other exciting features for the young students such as math games, stories, comic serials and online encyclopaedia which will help the students to become true champions. With a view to making people aware about the benefits of e-learning, Champs21 volunteers have visited a number of schools within Dhaka city where the students as well as their teachers and parents could get new insights about the role of internet in education. Here students became familiar with all the attractive features of Champs21. ASUS, the famous multinational computer products manufacturer and Intel the leading microchip developer in Bangladesh have also got involved with the awareness programme aiming to change the education scenario in Bangladesh by introducing students with the benefits of internet based education. Commenting on the functions and objectives of the awareness programme, Russell T Ahmed the CEO of Champs21 said, "We are trying to introduce students to the fantastic world of e-learning by communicating with them directly. To clarify the process of e-learning we are presenting live audio-visual demonstrations in schools so that students can get a first hand idea about how can they explore the internet for study purpose. We are getting overwhelming response from the students. We are also collecting their feedbacks to know about the expectations of these young learners so that we can enrich our website accordingly." To make learning more engaging and interactive the unique e-learning web portal has created an online community of young learners where they can share their ideas and improve their knowledge.
