The team of professionals at UseRich may additionally assist in building a skills base that is rich in quality as well as quantity for a primary effect as required.
K-12 Education
The learning needs of young minds are way different from that of grownups. It is often said that children cannot or should not be taught. Rather their learning should be experiential. UseRich provides multiple tools and methodologies for igniting young minds with creativity and wisdom. The parents and teachers need to appreciate that it is not just colourful animated content that best suits elementary education. The importance lies in how a child relates the learning to life and the potential application in life. The assembly-line like systems of education, if one may call that, ruins the innocence and creativity of children.
At UseRich, the vision is to enable schools where the children do not drain out their most precious traits like innocence and creativity and graduate ready to face the challenges of the world in their own way. UseRich facilitates a teacher in accompanying the students in their journey of exploration every step of the way, from kindergarten to twelfth grade, in schools and tutorials. The solutions implemented by UseRich enable a school to provide a seamless and enriching learning experience. A K-12 education often calls for collaboration with the parents. Some solutions offer guidance in subjects like Mathematics, English, Science, History, Music, Crafts, for the parents to assist their children. Simulations of conceptual matters and the gamified learning tools from UseRich make learning a child’s play in a literal sense.
Higher Education
The quality of higher education adds immense value to a person’s life, thus society at large. UseRich brings global best practices combining AI and cloud-based learning solutions, improving the overall quality of a university or college. The learning needs for higher education is a paradigm shift from the others. It needs to be far more exploratory than it might appear to many. A blended learning environment with online and instructor-led classes often helps students with a higher degree of engagement and time convenience.
The process of knowledge acquisition should not be guarded with barriers. At the same time, required subject matter components of any courseware should be made available to the students under a collaborative platform. While the overall function of a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Learning Experience Platforms (LXP) remains delivery of educational courses, at a granular level, the need depends on multiple variables including application, maturity or readiness of target audience, language, content, operating environment, reporting requirements, personalization, compliance, and last but not least, expectation from the platform. Collaborative learning plays a vital role in higher education. Sharing notes and discussing concepts in a Synchronous Collaborative Environment (SCE) takes the learning outcomes to different heights. For technical and professional studies, collaboration plays an even more critical role added to simulations.
UseRich enjoys the legacy of building LeanrITy®, the first SCORM compliant LMS from this part of the world. The deep understanding of the domain and the open-solution policy allow it to deploy the best suitable asynchronous and synchronous solutions mapping details of a need, ranging from proprietary solutions like LearnIty® to various Open Source solutions, including Sakai and Moodle. The Learning Experience Platforms (LXP) from UseRich include professional stream specific simulation and collaborative social learning tools like whiteboard sharing, chatbox, Conversational AI-enabled just-in-time (JIT) help bots, threaded discussion groups and many more. The environment helps the faculties, with their subject matter knowledge, collaborate and contribute to the learning experience in a seamless fashion.
Mobile Learning
Mobile learning or m-learning is another learning practice in eLearning that is gaining considerable importance because of its “learn anytime anywhere” possibilities. Through mobile learning, students can discover their courses online without the burden of being stationary during the duration of learning. UseRich develops specific mobile learning solutions for different Operating Systems like Android OS, iOS and Windows. The team of pre-sales consultants at UseRich is well known for its focus on the nuances of the specific business need and end-user experience. The extended content team effectively incorporates electronic books, recorded lecture videos, audiobooks and more into our m-learning modules that are easy to access on different devices.
When ported on to UseRich’s mobile learning platforms, educational courses and training materials enable students and employees to study on any cell phone or tablet device on the go. Such portable media access give an ideal learning experience across all devices. Another vital contribution of these mobile platforms is to fulfil the need of the trendy population of current generation learners to learn subjects of their choice beyond any compulsory courseware in expanding knowledge, understanding of finer matters, or maybe developing a hobby.
Learning Management System
UseRich is a pioneer of LMS products and technologies with its legacy of LearnITy®, the first ADL SCORM compliant LMS from this part of the world. In the early days of this millennium, people were still packaging their electronic content bundled with local navigation in the form of CBT (Computer Based Training) and calling them eLearning platforms. When Aunwesha Knowledge Technologies, the first company of the UseRich founders in the Education Technology domain, launched their first standard-compliant solution suite and contributed immensely towards developing new technology standards in collaboration with ADL. Today, UseRich is the best LMS provider for corporate training, offering an easy-to-use, modular technology-agnostic learning platform. UseRich enables the corporates, universities, and schools to build their own eLearning courses repurposing their existing content, including PowerPoint presentation slide decks, .pdf or document files, and multimedia components, making them available on an LMS platform that is tailored for the specific needs.
Learning Experience Platform
UseRich is the best LXP provider for the most specialized needs with optimally populated learning assets and methodologies. It provides a rich content experience centred on the importance and relevance of the specialized requirement. The best LXPs grounded in their rich user experiences (UX) offer a far-reaching assortment of content and methodologies, including modern practices like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Gamification. They need to incorporate seamlessly with other operational practices or the vertical specialization of any organization or institution to empower the learners better relate the subject matters in the courseware with the learning needs. UseRich is also running an R&D project to build a dialogue-based LMS/LXP in collaboration with eminent thinkers in this domain.
Augmented Reality
Augmented reality (AR) is different from virtual reality (VR); AR modifies the perception of an existing environment across multiple sensory responses, combining auditory, visual, haptic, olfactory or even somatosensory inputs, whereas VR alters the surroundings, often with auditory and visual inputs, creating a virtual environment for the audience. AR creates an experience with seamlessly interwoven immersive experiences of the real world and a virtual world with real-time interactions and an accurate 3D registration of the objects from both the world. In this way, AR changes a person’s prevailing perception of the real-world situation, whereas VR often creates a simulated environment replacing the real-world one. Augmented reality learning tools from UseRich takes possibilities of experiential learning to a different level.
For example, advanced medical studies may include a simulated Cardiothoracic Surgery that would augment the subtle real-life haptic feedback of the cardiac muscle resistance into the piercing probe for a practicing surgeon. Such operations, as one would appreciate, are not possible to practice otherwise. The enormous possibilities of superfine AR learning objects however get awfully limited because of its high costs of production.
Gamified Learning
Gamified learning increases the absorption of a conceptual matter manifold. Gamification techniques in the context of learning uses games or game centric elements within the learning objects and navigation in conjunction with increased engagement through multimedia content for creating courseware. While such content creation may be comparatively more expensive, the benefits surpass the increased costs.
Instruction Design (ID) plays an essential role in creating such specialized courses. UseRich provides solutions tuned to the cause by collaborating with subject matter experts, education specialists in pedagogics and behavioural scientists.
For example, explaining some theories around math, reasoning, and communication through a simulated casino game often proves to be more effective than explaining them only through lectures and textual matters. Gamified learning materials provided by UseRich integrate seamlessly within their LMS or LXP platforms giving flexibility of administrating and monitoring the courses and providing detailed feedbacks like how much time a student has studied or even how much he or she is expected to have achieved the learning goals.
Virtual Instructor-Led Training
UseRich Offers Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) or Virtual Classrooms platform for conducting live classes online, on a one-to-many protocol. As of date, the requirement of basic conferencing can be met using available general-purpose tools like Google Meet, Zoom, MS Teams and many more. The uniqueness of the synchronous eLearning platform provided by UseRich includes facilities like incorporating other roles, including producers, administrators, moderators for addressing and screening high numbers of rand-raising or Q&A seamlessly, creating student-level buffers for easy disturbance-free streaming and offline viewing of the lecture in future, and customizable dynamic reporting.
These platforms are ideally suitable for small group coaching as well as a large number of participants attending any lecture without having geographic boundaries. The finer administration of the platform also has facilities of restricting a course available to specific geographies or even specific registered devices.
Benefits of Virtual Classrooms:
- Replicates the age-old face-to-face learning experience that most individuals are accustomed to.
- Real-time interaction between the tutor and learners.
- Attendees can network with other learners and have discussions in smaller groups.
- Enables revision of the lectures for deeper understandings.
Blended Learning
The URUS protocol allows UseRich to implement multiple tools within a single platform broadening the scope of any learning arrangements, making it an ideal enabler for blended learning. Availability of learning content for asynchronous learning or parallel reference alongside synchronous eLearning helps learners prepare before attending a lecture and refer to the content when required during the lesson.
It is imperative to map the learning goals, preferably dividing them into knowledge or information goals and skill-development goals and plan the course beforehand. Information goals are often achieved utilizing eLearning (asynchronous – LMS /LXP, or synchronous – VILT), while the skill-development goals often call for higher degrees of direct instructor-led training. The human touch angle of blended learning makes it the ideally suitable practice for artistic, experiential and kinesthetic learning styles.
Benefits of blended learning:
- Flexible
- Effective and cost-efficient
- Easily adjusted to different learning styles
- Nurtures skills like time administration and critical thinking
- Reduces resources wasted on travel without impacting outcomes
- Performance tracking
Cloud Solutions
UseRich prefers to host its learning solutions on the cloud, be it a public cloud or a private cloud, barring few individual tools. There had been cases where one of the Defense R&D Organizations needed the solution to be implemented in a client-server environment with no connectivity whatsoever with the outer world. Or a degree college implemented LearnITy® only for the students to do specific bridge courses on English and Mathematics in their computer lab, hence needed no internet connection. Possibilities are endless with UseRich’s approach and methodologies. Other than such specific needs, the power of the internet adds tremendous advantages to eLearning solutions. Apart from 24×7 accessibility from across geographies, there are many more advantages. The high-performance computational grids with an array of powerful computer farms at different universities on the educational cloud extend the reach of higher education by compounding the power of thousands of computers together, solving one problem, allowing researchers to search and find models, making discoveries faster than ever. The vast storage availability on the cloud and variable bandwidth make a surge onto any cloud infrastructure seamless and cost-effective by pre-planning temporary scaling up of the infrastructures instead of investing large amounts on procuring it. Cloud infrastructures are mostly well secured, and additional security features can be obtained at nominal costs. Effective Disaster Recovery systems can be implemented to secure students records and content even in the circumstances like natural calamities or terrorist attacks. Because of connectivity across the globe, institutions around the world can collaborate together for their learning needs. For example, a medical student from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, USA, can attend some designated classes on Public Health at All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi, India, and vice-versa. Students getting delayed for a class due to a traffic jam or other reasons can proactively join the session from their mobile phones without missing the important lecture and interactions.
