Berhampur (PTI): The digital learning scheme, in which students of classes VII and VIII will use tablets for science and mathematics, is likely to be introduced in some more Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) in Odisha from the next academic session.

Now, the system is functioning only in one school, Kendriya Vidyalaya, Mancheswar. The Kendriya Vidyala-ya Sanghathan (KVS) introduced the scheme on a pilot basis in the school. "We expect that the scheme will be rolled out in at least five more sch-ools, including those in Berh-ampur, in the state from the next academic year. We are planning to submit a proposal in this regard to the KVS soon," said deputy commissioner, KVS Bhubane-swar region, ALV Jaganadha Rao during a visit here.

Students of classes VII and VIII use tablets for science and mathematics and all activities such as accessing reading materials to submitting assignments are being done online by using the tablets. Apart from accessing the textbooks online through ePathshala, which provides digital textbooks and resource materials of the National Council of Educational Research and Training, the students are enhancing their learning experience through animations and videos, he said.
