Amidst the ongoing global health crisis, the commitment to education perseveres as a daunting task.
In a bold move towards the future of education, KKEL schools have adopted a technology-driven personalised learning approach, transforming the learning experience for students from Pre-K to G12.
This innovative approach empowers students to take ownership of their learning journey, working closely with teachers to set both short-term and long-term goals. Each student and parent in Billabong High International schools has a unique login id for the 'Billabox' app, a Learning Management App designed specifically for grades 1 - 8. For the younger learners, KKEL has developed 'Skippy Tech', an app tailored for Kangaroo Kids Preschools.
The schools are leveraging technology-driven pedagogical practices such as flipped classrooms, online learning lessons, adaptive assessment, and self-directed learning. This extended learning beyond the classroom and school walls, providing students with the flexibility to revisit topics, take quizzes, and attain mastery of concepts at their own pace, promoting self-directed learning and a growth mindset.
Parents can monitor their child's progress on each topic and understand gaps to help their children gain subject matter mastery. The content for both these apps is curated by in-house subject matter experts and aligns with classroom teaching.
Teachers are conducting online classes, ensuring a safe, engaging, and productive learning environment for students during the pandemic. Online PTA meetings and parent orientations have been conducted for the April session, keeping parents informed and involved in their child's education.
KKEL sees this personalised learning approach based on competency-based assessments as tech-driven learning approaches that will redefine the future of learning and schools. The company has built capacity and strengthened back-end operational capability with an integrated School Management System (SMS), customised online Learning Management System (LMS), and a robust Customer Relationship Management System (CRMS).
Moreover, KKEL is focusing on standardising franchise and school management processes to provide scientific, scalable, and sustainable solutions to all stakeholders. The schools are adopting a 360-degree approach to learning, including academics, sports, music, design, and creative thinking.
Looking ahead, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and digital collaboration technologies are expected to make significant differences in the future of education. These technologies will enhance personalised learning, secure digital infrastructures, and foster international cooperation in research and teaching. KKEL will continue to invest in high-quality technology-based solutions to provide the best learning tools to students and parents.
In conclusion, KKEL schools are leading the way in embracing technology to provide a personalised, engaging, and effective learning experience for students in the 21st century.
